More equal justice for special few…
My dad told me two cases that happened in Nashik just a few days back. Not big ones, but so common that no one would even notice it.
Case 1 – A poor adivasi lady from some village was selling some tiny birds on the road for her bread and butter for the day. A police came, took her to the court, made her pay Rs. 200 fine.
Case 2 – Another villager was sitting in some government office, smoking bidi. It’s not allowed. He was taken to the court and made to pay fine!
Religious Integrity in India – Need of the Day
The other day I was reading about Savarkar.
When Savarkar wrote ‘Indian war of independence 1857′, he emphasized on Hindu-Muslim unity. He consciously accepted it, promoted it. He was 25 then. Later on when he was in Andaman, he studied Koran and found out fallacy about that thought (as per his thoughts. I’m not implying anything here).
One of the reasons is -
Islam does not allow its followers to accept the boundaries of Nation. It transcends beyond that. Their first and foremost faith lies towards their religion according to Koran. So true believers in Islam religion, naturally they put Islam before Nation. (Here Nation implies the Idea of Nation and not the actual Nation as such)
Workshop at Bhaskaracharya Pratishthana
I recently attended a workshop at Bhaskaracharya Pratishthana. This post is about my experiences during those days. It was held from 27 Jan ’11 to 31 Jan ’11.
About Workshop
CAS Worshop, FOSSME, Bhaskaracharya Pratishthana, Pune.
(CAS = Computer Algebra system
FOSSME = Free Open Source Software for Maths Education)
It was aimed at maths research students & professors on how mathematicians can use open source tools for their research/teaching.
Tools we used
SAGE, PARI GP, Maxima, GAP.
We worked on thin-clients. 6 terminals 1 server. 2GB RAM is enough for running these maths tools on linux on 6 terminals simultaneously!
3 mistakes in my first experiment with Anda Bhurji, and what you should learn from it.
10 Nov 2010, 21.45 This is the exact time I started my first experiment with Anda Bhurji.
It was awesome – truly & totally.
Here are ’3 mistakes of my life’ as far as this first expt is concerned.
1. As I started off, I learnt that I had no mustard at all. (Lesson – Always ensure that you have proper ingredients especially mustard at the start)
2. I fried garlic, chilly & jira in oil a little longer. The chilly ‘almost’ turned coal black. (Lesson – Don’t fry chilly in oil for a long period. 
)
Google killer is here!
For all these days, you have been searching for google killer. There’s an end to the quest for google killer now. It’s right in front of us. We use it daily. Facebook!
In 1980s What Apple had been to IBM once, was Microsoft to Apple. What Microsoft was to Apple, Google is to Microsoft now. What Google is to Microsoft now, Facebook is gonna be to Google!
Google’s chief business model – advertising – is a derived one. It’s not strong or fundamental, not ‘give and take’ business. It’s all the traffic game. Anyone generating a real huge traffic on it’s website is a potential threat to Google. Facebook tops them all. Beautifully. Perfectly.
Unhealthy emotions – how they are created and how they should be treated!
Often we observe that we are disturbed, frustrated, stressed by our emotions. This is for the deeper analysis of those emotions (eg. Love, hate, anger, anxiety, fear etc.)
Most of the emotions which, eventually, disturb us are caused by our own thoughts. Both unconscious thoughts & conscious. The more you think about something, the more intense emotion will be. As Epictetus says – events are impersonal & indifferent. It’s what we make out of those thoughts, the way we perceive a fact cause a particular feeling inside us. It becomes more intense with more thoughts (irrational thoughts mostly) on it.
