Aaj Kal ke Bacche!!

While I was at Crossword today, an incident occurred, which blew my wits into pieces. Here goes....

A cute little girl (say 4-5 year old may be), extremely naughty, is pestering her mother to buy her some dolls. She has two in her hand already. Mom says, "Dekho, I said enough. You are becoming naughty day by day". The kid promptly pulls her mom's pallu and replies (head dropped down, shrugging shoulders), "Its ok. I don't want it. You dont be gussa."

A few minutes later, the mother decides to leave. They are waiting at the door for the car. The girl is restless. Shes running all around the place almost kicking against the books. She is singing something... well, making a lot of noise basically. The mother in a desperate attempt to get her child under control warns her(serious tone) that the watchman (looks big, bulky, strong and mean) standing a few feet away will secretly carry her away if she continues this way. The little girl stops, smiles back and retorts, "Mummy, You don't worry. That will not happen. You know why. I am smart".

Smart indeed!!

Om Damani Om - Our Saviour arrives!

Eating an alcohol chocolate for the first time can bring out interesting reactions. I never realized it that sometimes watching someone else eat could be as enjoyable (may be more) than eating yourself. It is especially fun to watch your poor sincere unsuspecting friend being tricked into having a "rom" chocolate, that too sitting in the first bench during the middle of a lecture where we are supposedly discussing Amar Akbar Anthony and Bayes, chimps and normal distribution, all simultaneously.


Excerpts:

(Happy face...chocolate chocolate!!)

"Please bata na yaar, isme exactly kya hai??" (chocolate in the mouth, slowly melting away)

(Weird face)
"Dayaa, kya gandha taste hai yaar" (sulk)

(more weird faces)

(Weirdmax face)

(buries face)

(more weird faces)
"Did you people actually realize when it burst??" (bursts out laughing)

(unhappy... more shocked i think)
"I am feeling sleepy da" (confused)

(back to normal)
"I think I am going to puke man. I need water"

(Happy again... class ends)

Sorry Watson.
I will always love you. [:P]

_it (g/h) - A Perspective

A heated argument. A debate. A battle.

I have been asked. I have been told. I presume and have been warned not to assume. The background I know not of, the foreground I can't think of.
Puzzles me.
Bewildered I am.

So, a set of questions I have.
Am I naive or intriguing??

Say what you will, says Clapton. But Keating say, You say it best when you say nothing at all.

Another question here.
Speaking mathematically, which is easier to deal with -
a deterministic setup or a probabilistic one?

A deterministic world would probably perhaps, be much simpler, a logical agent(LA) would say. Everything is straight forward and decided. What is bound to happen should happen and will happen. No worries. The plan is laid out. The consequences of all actions can be reasonably estimated and the best path or the minimum risk direction can be chosen. It seems one has to play sensibly and be at peace.
Yet, going by what we humans are made of. We get bored. We need change. We need to something more than this.

But on the other hand, in a probabilistic world, things are totally the contrary. There is nothing certain. Things though well defined and logical, are uncertain, whatever the extent may be. It seems like an eternal state of confusion with nothing definite and makes one wonder what is the point of such a mess.
Well, there exists a brighter side to this too. Since there is no certainty, there is hope. Along with confusion, there comes the hope, the optimism, the will and the determination. Even when you are in the dumps, down the dark dungeons of life, you can manage to see a thin delicate silvery thread, your only source to light. Beaming voices of "Expecto patronum" ring and sight of the Dementors running helter-skelter you imagine.

What would you prefer now- perfectly order or fuzzy logic?
Is it a trade-off then? May be.

The ups and downs are now in the open.
How do I decide?
Listen to the heart or the mind?

Drawing parallels here, we get back to the chicken-egg problem. The choice between the mind and the heart is the same as that between determinism and 'probabilism'.

So dare to make a call. Nyah, I guess.

Well yes. This is a Friday night. And yes. I am just penning down my boredom.

C* Part 1

It is my theory that things starting C are good and very very like-able. Just to name a few - chocolates, chicken, cheese, chics, (c)etch-up, children, chips, cookies ......on and on.




Incidentally, cheers also begins with C.

Cheers as a place is awesome.

But but, cheers as in cheering = jeering; hence sCary.

So for now, I pray no cheers.

Cheers!
