MAGICAL MINDFUL LIVING: FINDING JOY IN THE EVERYDAY

Will was a Krill, in the movie happy feet. One day he decided to swim against its own swarm. The swarm contained a trillion krill, and all their lives krill had been just swimming with the swarm. But Will was different, he decided to see the end of the world by swimming opposite to its own swarm. And after so much swimming one day he was far away from its swarm. And what he saw was an amazing site. That whole swarm was just a gigantic ball of krill, and there was a whale, who

To illustrate the great quote by Miyamoto Musashi, the Japanese sword warrior, here we give two stories. One from ancient world, one from modern world. As you will see the wisdom provided by this is timeless as illustrated by these examples. Two stories on transcending retardation - Case of Mr. Demis Hassabis A beautiful game of chess In a documentary about DeepMind and AI, Nobel price winner Demis Hassabis, the British mathematician and scientist describes his inspiration fo

Some truths are really simple. So, that we never meet them in a relaxed mind. Just like in the fish story of famous Wallace speech. Just like a young fish who is not aware of the water which surrounds him all day, we are not aware but act blindly. But there are moments in life, that someone, or something makes us wonder, and we get our Aha moments, and we forget about it when we immerse ourselves with comfortable lies that we chose to believe out of convenience. I had such a

George Box George E. P. Box (1919–2013) was a famous British statistician who made major contributions to statistics, quality control, and experimental design. He is known for above quote which caught my attention as it harbours some truth which I cannot deny. All models are wrong (forged), but some are useful. Consider the wording, in the quote. It claims that "All" models are wrong. Forget the usefulness of some models, which are wrong. I would rarther ask the question what

I was reading Plato and allegory of the cave for the second time. And wonder what went through the mind of Plato when he realized, the simple method of arriving at a truth. So, here I will summaries the method, but this does not claim that I am giving you any truth, or even evidence of such truth exists. It is just a method, a road that you may or may not have seen before or taken. Acorns and Oaks The question starts by looking at an Acorn. Which has the potential to become a

Coal Miners I was thinking about this statement today. And it seems a paradoxical statement at first glance. If money cannot buy happiness why an average human spend a lifetime doing some work for wages. It reminds me a coal miner in the era of industrial revolution. With dirty ragged clothes and faces covered with coal dust, I have seen many of those nameless individuals who sacrificed their short time on earth for nothing but to dig up a tunnel in deep underground. I have s

About Discoveries - The SUV One of our older collogues at work had bought a land rover - A discovery. It was expensive to ride such a vehicle in this part of the country, as the vehicle itself had to travel miles and miles in the sea, just to see the tropical beach. But fact that he bought it made it clear to everyone that he is a big shot in the gang. I am sure he was moved by an enormous urge to buy that vehicle and made him happy. I am not going to spoil his fun by saying

Definition of a second. One second is the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine energy levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom. If you need to understand the world. You need to understand the change. Time is just another word for change. I posted this online and received with variable responses from the philosophical community. Some argued it is not. Some agreed it is giving evidence. After all It ap

Yesterday. Yesterday I spent whole day inside, reading books, watching films. Dancing around with kids. There were no big fancy restaurants that we visited. No big events that we participated. We did not go deep into the serene senescent Forest, to be connected with nature. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, pretty ordinary stuff. Yet, at the end of the day I felt fulfilled. I am sure kids, although they went through several cry and laugh cycles, they might have felt accomplished t

Why are you relaxed at the hotel? Being in a hotel is expensive. I am sure you can spend two weeks at home leisurely for the cost of a one night at a decent hotel. Often the destinations we seek are far away from home. If you are at the beach you would want to be on a top of a mountain cabin for your vacation. If you are at the mountain top, you would want to be on beach. If you are in Europe maybe you wish to go to USA. If you are in USA you may want to be in Japan, watching

Internet is a strange place, where I come across some random things which gives profound understanding of life. Consider following saying by Dr Kapil Gupta. "The best marketing is not selling" It seems a paradoxical quote. After all the objective of marketing is to sell. He did not provide any explanation to the quote in the original podcast. He just asked the moderator to contemplate about it. As the listener I did contemplate about it and these are my reflections on the sub

Happily, ever after. I am sure everyone wants to be happy all the time. If possible. And If I know it's my duty to tell you exactly How. I have been searching for the fountain of happiness just like you. Remember the times when we watched the movies, when the princess and prince Kissed and lived "Happily ever after". But nobody showed the movie beyond the kiss and the marriage. Not until recently. Nobody showed a fairy tale of a "Divorce" or a "serious illness like a Cancer.

Algebraic Symmetry A short AI summary: Algebraic symmetry describes situations where a mathematical object remains unchanged under certain transformations, and these transformations form a group  because they can be combined and reversed. For example, consider an equilateral triangle: rotating it by (120deg), (240deg), or doing nothing leaves the triangle looking the same. These rotations form a group called the cyclic group (C_3) . In algebra, we say the triangle has symmetr

I was screening through the shelves of the Library the Other day and came across a book named Roses. A botanica's Pocket -Roses it said. However, it clearly would not fit into anyone's pocket. If it was a novel, it would be the size of two volumes of the Count of Monte Cristo. Over 1000 pages of more than 2000 listed roses. I borrowed the book. Obviously not to read cover to cover, but to fascinate myself with the "Queen of the flowers" in afternoons for a fortnight. So, here

First part of this article is just an AI generated list. Just to show how the self-help evolute over the years. However, in the second part I will write my opinion on these in old school way. Directly out of my mind onto the paper. After all any AI generated content is not to be accepted until we give our own verdict upon it. So, you may comment your verdict after reading. Willpower & Moral Character (Early 20th C.) Success was seen as a result of discipline, virtue, and pers
