Today
Just dip your nose and dive into a rose and smell the flower
today take off your shoes and walk on the cool green grass
today just enjoy water running down your throat
today feel the earlymorning sunlight on your skin
what do we wait for- some day?
Some day never comes
all you have in eternity is TODAY!

I just did all that today and just allowed myself to be!
sometimes a good cup of tea can teach you more about life than the whole volumes of thought. all you have to do is give in to the experience of drinking that tea .

talking greek

There has been this big do at our institute. International relationships etc.
There was this one senior diplomat who said that the point of friction was the lack of cultural communication.Though all countries spoke English-the interpretation was totally a cultural phenomenon.I agree. 'Yo' to a US person is hello. 'Yo' in Tamil is like hey you (@#$%^&*) not invective but would imply some degree of annoyance.
another professor remarked in another conversation that the mountain people all have a way of greeting that is a peculiar narrative style .They start by asking for a story- whats the story. something like "Kya kahani hai ?" in hindi. They also begin a reply with Eisa hai na ......

Which brings me to the subject of languages.
I am going in for french classes from Monday.
on a lighter note

Here a question-
Whats a miracle?
Think

Jethro Tull and Neural networks

They played to a rather subdued audience in Bangalore. The show was well managed ( after all it was at the indian institute of management.
Did you know they once opened for pink flyod?

Today I sat through some papers presentations on neuroscience.Suddenly a wave of dissapointment washed over me- that all it all boils down to, our hopes fears, dreams and all the things we do even the Joy of Jethro Tull -nerve synapses. Then a speaker said that the number of nerve synapses possible in the brain is greater than all fundamental particles in the universe! Phew!

Also did you know that when we use verbs,the motor area of our brain lights up?Makes me think about ahimsa- the principle of Nonviolence . We are told not be violent in thought, word and action. If our motor area gets activated by mere verbs, it is possible that anything we think or would also result in a unexpressed action wont it?very difficult to practise I presume.

And where was I yesterday?

Well searching the city book stores for Kant's critique of pure reason.
Who is Kant?
A philosopher.
What did he say mainly?
Lots of stuff.
Let me figure it out.
(if you are impatient read Wiki on it)

Bangalore is a starved city Philosophy wise.
Want to know what outsourcing and software is doing to us ?
There was a 10% off on computer books and no discount on philosophy!and the comp guys are richer!
I was wandering the bookidors( Book + Corridors) and I saw a book that said Python. I rushed to check on this wildlife and found it was a code.Very funny . A python may be sitting in this very blog program.Heh Heh. But I think it will be some Vague thingageek language like C++ ++
or javascript.My bro who is a programmer may kill me if he sees this blog,hey but who is afraid of virtual geeks!
A philosopher can laugh at death.
Check this out from Kant-
Kant says that appearences of objects are dependent on Apriori intuitions called space and time. Space and time donot inhere in objects but are part of the sensibility of all thinking humans that helps us order the universe.
okay thats a simple version! I do have some humane values you know.You dont have to go through my penance.
Back to my book . Its on the net so I have to read off a screen. Immensely hard .Specially philosophy if you need to turn pages back and forth to understand.
Blogging is good. It helps me write nonphilosophically and I know I am not being graded!!!!
Jethro tull is playing in Bangalore on friday and I hope to go.
Hope to blog more coherently tommmooorrrow.
