About

Say,
we have the access to every bit of data under the sun, and
we get authority over all the resources in the world.
And let's ignore the Freud guy assuming we have no sub conscious memories.

Then,
Do you believe we are still different?

I believe so.


We are different by 
The choices we make and the hypothesis we so dearly hold on to.

Believing we are doing the right thing.

Are we?
...and does it matter?

Articles under the label Choices are about my pastime.

And those under Hypothesis are my take on the world around me.

A thinking mind is anarchic and unfaithful

I am not sure about my fellow citizens, but I believe to have been raised with flawed morals and values. Let me reflect on my growing up memories, which I have realized to have an above average level of recall. My intentions is to hope that my reader, even if bad at acknowledgement or articulation herself/himself, can better understand the shaping of one's ethics/values. Growing up, "justice" played an important role in my everyday life. It may be fights with fellow kids, understanding some mythological stories, making sense of complex Bollywood stories, or a situation arising in kindergarten. Once "justice" is given, I found it unquestionable, accepting it to be the fairest of all.  There were some interesting aspects also, based from the emotional memories of my nursery times (It was in 1994-95, Jamshedpur. We stayed there for 10 months and I have some visual clear memories of few incidents. My younger brother was yet to make his entry, so I had less ...

Sanders message, Journalism failure and the crisis with Tech companies

In a span of one hour I happen to make myself witness an incident (this is how I try to live by each day in my own way :) ). Micro-incident 1: I come across  this article , where Katie Couric, the journalist who had been a television host at all 3 big three television networks (ABC, CBS and NBC) and was recently the Global News Anchor at Yahoo had shared some of her experience at a tech giant. Micro-incident 2: One of my close friends shares this  video  on his Facebook wall. Please watch that video since the rest of my article centers around it. And then you may agree or disagree with my summarization here: It is about Bernie Sanders talking about the flaw in the principle which gives US President the supreme command over the military forces, which he proposes to be in hands of Congress. At the beginning he cites the examples of  Yemen war crisis and then at the end emphasizes on the triviality of this particular case, and its the principle on which US goes t...

In my years and years of growing up I have encountered a curious habit among the people I have interacted with. They have always functioned in a mental framework incorporating their abstract take on the world around them. And all of us in some way do that. These metrics give a sense of rationality to the individual. Now to what degree the rationality holds is altogether a different discussion. But the basic hypothesis still holds: Each one of has a scale. There is another curious observation further on these lines: these metrics often tend to be one dimensional. My parents, my teachers, my friends and even the Bollywood stories around me followed this pattern. For the early years of my life I struggled to put things in this format. As my world got bigger I discovered a vast majority of crowd also religiously follow some version of this model either consciously or sub consciously while interacting or making sense of themselves, the people within and outside their communities, objects an...
