I shall continue. I never tire of being useful.
Knowledge of all things is possible.
The greater the sensibility, the greater the suffering... much suffering
Man does not vary from the animals except in what is accidental.

I roamed the country side searching for answers to things I did not understand. Why shells existed on the tops of mountains along with the imprints of coral and plants and sea weed usually found in the sea. Why the thunder lasts a longer time than that which causes it, and why immediately on its creation the lightning becomes visible to the eye while thunder requires time to travel. How the various circles of water form around the spot which has been stuck by a stone. and why a bird sustains itself in the air. These questions and other strange phenomena engages my thoughts throughout my life.

Approach to Art

We have this internal hypocrisy going on somewhere inside our mind.  We want to express something in the form of art. And then we tell ourself we don't have the right equipments or skills. But Art is not about masterful maneuvering of equipments. It's all about creative ideas and true feelings. Once you have that, you are an artist. Just grab something, anything and do something, anything inspired by those feelings. And know that it will be a great piece of art. Just be honest to yourselves. The so called Grandmasters are those people who are the most honest to their own feelings.

And, yes. It is difficult to be honest.

Give me back my 71.4% of fun!

Quantum Theory of Computation is The Theory of Computation. We are familiar with classical physics, which in effect is equivalent to classical computing. But quantum world works differently. It allows you to do many computations that are impossible to perform on machines running on classical physical principles.

Here I have got this great opportunity to study these things and still not doing it with full potential. It's not that I don't like studying. I think the slavery of habit is working here. I have got this habit of 'inactivity', which is sad.

Talking of activity. I think I could have done what I did last week in two days. Which says, I have this efficiency of around 28.6%

In this rate I will lose 71.4% of fun from my life!! 

Interesting!

It's more than one year now, since I posted the last blog post here. When I opened this blog I said to myself, "Here is a new page! I will fill it up bit by bit everyday with all the interesting thoughts I am thinking, all the interesting things I am doing, all the new things I am learning... "

In fact in my fist post I had a formal 'Oath',

Every now and then I'll have an entry here.

It was supposed to be a collection of all the interesting stuffs that pass by and give me this rare opportunity to have a glimpse of them.

But more than one years have passed unnoticed. Lots of interesting things happened. And still happening... So, lets not lose hope. And look for a brighter future.

If you are already bored with this mournful monolog, here's something new for you. A parting (random) wisdom I want to share,

If you did not enjoy winning, you did not win.

Storyboards...

Human face has this incredible feature. It records everything. I don't know how, but everything puts a scar on it. It bears the scar of first love, broken hearts, sorrow, joy, hunger, pride. It bears the scar of all the seasons, winters, summers, autumns and rains. Scar of deaths, and diminished glow of long past triumphs. The tiniest wrinkles that all the new seconds bring and leave there when they pass.
All the dried leaves stepped on, all the rivers crossed.
All the dreams dreamed, all the lives touched.

A human face becomes this wonderful storyboard of life. When I see it, the immensity of those fascinating stories moves me so profoundly, so deeply, that the outburst of passion is literally suffocating. And I feel this inevitable urge to express. I wish I could paint. Only painting can bring this forth...

And composing music.

Alas! I know neither.

Enthusiasm

Once upon a time I used to share the same enthusiasm of this guy. I think deep down I still harbor this feeling.
