Its all about the Curves, isn't it?

        I love beauty and economics, have always pondered over the similarities between the two. Yes, be it nature or economics or even life, it falls into the curve. The Bell, of course.        Beauty lies everywhere, even in a flower, colors, mountains, birds, women, child etc. It is how the eyes sees that matters. A curvy lady can enchant my eyes as much as an economical demand supply curve for me. It is pleasurable only after all the break even, isn't it?           Renowned statisticians say everything in life falls into the Bell curve. Be it count of dices over a period, heights, weights of a group of people, marks of a class/grade, life cycle of industry or a person. We do enjoy its peak as much as while growing. Once the peak is achieved, what about the downfall? Take for instance the Governments or kings that have ruled before. How long have they sustained in the peak is what matters.      Isn't...

Freak out Saturday - OMG 2 & meditation

Image
       After a while, I got my free time yesterday and wanted to keep myself away from work. At times, I can keep on going and going when it comes to work, that I feel jaded. Yesterday was my break day.  I started my day with a movie in Global Malls, went to OMG2. Since I saw its trailer and my obsession with Gods, made this an obvious choice.      By the way, I did enjoy the OMG part 1 too, where Paresh Rawal filed a case against God for an earthquake. It was Krishna who came to his rescue there.   OMG2 is on a totally different level. The message in the movie was not just about the religious beliefs, but how our Indian education system was so advanced in ancient history.     It reminds me of Lord Macaulay's address to the British parliament on 2nd Feb 1835, where he emphasizes that in order for them to dominate India, they need to break our education system.

AI - an enabler or a destroyer?

       We all know that ChatGPT is the buzzword of recent times. It is indeed the most revolutionary thing to have a conversational AI tool that can crack exams, write poems, code, help us in all ways possible. But is this a start of a new era which can destroy Human species or is this an aid to our living being? A big question, indeed. Let us find the answers.       Looking back at the history in India, when computers were introduced in Banks. Lot of banking folks felt scared to adapt to it, due to the fear of losing jobs. Fast forward to today, did they actually lose jobs? May be the ones who did not adapt and learn how to operate on a computer. The shift in the job did happen. Most of the bankers today use computers to operate. It has made their life easy. But at the same time, their mental capability has reduced.      In the process of making our life easy, we have create machines and delegate mundane tasks to them.  There i...

Healers do this one thing!

Image
         In times of turmoil, we all look for that one person or one thing to bring us back to normalcy, isn't it? Instead of realizing all that is needed is within us. Foolishly searching for all external help when everything that is needed is inside.          Yes, none of us are perfect, including me. We all make mistakes, but isn't it that healing makes us a better person. In order to heal, what should we do?       The solution is in one word 'Forgive'.       I was watching an Instagram post by Mindvalley founder Vishen on forgiveness , which inspired me to write this blog. If at all forgiveness can make us heal to the extent that it can make our brains simulate the same level of frequencies as monks, then isn't it the magic pill that we all wanted? In spite of knowing it, we struggle to embrace it. Why? Is it the lack of faith?  Forgiveness can lead to  (Text-courtesy:   Int...

Tanuja - a story of not giving up!

        Yesterday I watched this Kannada movie 'Tanuja' in Gopalan Arch mall near my house. I was bored and wanted a break from my routine. A brilliant movie with a message to not give up on your dreams and is well directed.       The cinema hall was full of Parikrama NEET academy students, no wonder as the story is a real-life incident of Tanuja Karegowda, a Parikrama student herself. Pradeep Eshwar, the founder of Parikrama NEET academy, and his struggles to make sure a hard-working student Tanuja gets to write her NEET exam against all odds in the COVID scenario is the main story.      What really enhances the storyline is the struggles of a student coming from a rural background, the technical difficulties in rural areas, and the never give up attitude of a human being, which makes it a great story. The story ends with Pradeep himself remembering his dream and determination of creating doctors to ensure rural health care is improved....

My experiments on ChatGPT...

      The trend of AI and ChatGPT caught me too. Always fascinated with this topic, I probed my first question on ChatGPT -  Q1 - " Can I be reborn as a human?" Interestingly it gave an appropriate answer as an AI, that rebirth is a belief system in some religions. My verdict - As a Hindu, not quite the answer I was looking for. I moved on to find out does it have some fancy answer to an alien invasion. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Q2 - " What would humans do if Aliens attack Earth?" Though the prediction was, it is impossible to respond to this speculation, Governments may take some action with military aid. My verdict - The answer is pretty average, I thought. I wanted to test the programming capability of the ChatGPT, I asked it to write a web development code. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Q3 - " Generate an HTML CSS Javascript puzzle to crack for the code hackathon for g...

Veggie Pro-take

        I coined the term 'pro-take' and it stands for protein intake. The argument with veggies is that we don't get sufficient proteins in our diet.  The actual question is - do veggies prefer more carbohydrate intake than proteins? Reality says yes. Veggies might argue that they don't need that much protein compared to the carbohydrates, but nevertheless isn't balanced diet the ultimate goal.             A good source of protein can be any of these: whole grains,       beans,        soy foods,        nuts and seeds  broccoli,        spinach,        yogurt,       walnuts,        peanuts  cauliflower,        peas,       kale,       lentils,      paneer     ...
