I wish...

Bonsoir,

Sometimes have you noticed... you have a train of thought, all correlated and documentable... but suddenly there is this one groove you get caught in; could be an external sound, or a phone bell, or anything... and within nanoseconds all the correlation in the thoughts you gathered with such coincidence and rarity (i wouldn't say difficulty :) )gets jumbled... and you realize that you have to put the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle back again? And if you belong to the catagory of dreamers, like thinkingtubelite, you might misplace the pieces of the puzzle in the non-existent Kingdom of Far Far Away... in which case you start your thought process from the uncorrelated scratch again...

The sentence(s) above contains the reason for which I have been running behind schedule lately... I wish our brains had the auto-save option, and a 'temporary files' folder, where we could look up the cache and re-save the half built correlated jigsaw puzzle, on the occasion of a 'process interruption' caused by the 'external sound, or a phone bell, or anything...'!
'If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride'... ; but I guess, it's all a matter of controlling the infinite sided human mind... maybe I haven't reached there yet !

Thats it for now,
thinkingtubelite :)

nothing much...

I am approaching the end of another weekend, with lots planned and none done yet. I am hoping the final few hours will be an impulse of productivity, since my productivity bursts usually happen in impulses, ground state being zero :-). This blog is being typed while I sit in front of my computer, waiting for MATLAB simulations to finish running, eating LAYS, and wondering how to optimise my working in such a way so that I finish maximum stuff in minimum time...

The annual "gay parade" for homosexuals and bisexuals in Toronto was on today and yesterday. I could'nt imagine something of this sort happening in my hometown(s). It was interesting to see how different people from different parts of the world are, inspite of all of us being human beings. Imagine if there was life in Jupiter, how different the jupitarians on the different parts of the planet would be, considering it is X times larger than earth.. :D (not sure what value X takes! )

Like I always think, it's fun to sit back and watch the world with a pinch of salt and add every experience and incident we come across in life to our database of interesting stories :)

And it's also good to know that people of that sort have some privilege(s) in some part(s) of the world... refuge for them!!!

Pseudo Euphoria

Anything but the Present:
Man finds comfort in the past or in the future, never looks into the present. It has been an old habit, very old habit, of the human mind. Either it glorifies the past and relishes itself in the memory of past, or it builds castles in dreams, in clouds, for the future.

-- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Time for thinkingtubelite to resume sudarshan kriya... :)

observations...

I sometimes wonder, whether unproductivity and depression lead to philosphical thoughts...

A human in his euphoric state lives in the real world and leads a normal life, but a human in a depressed state tries to reach his pseudo euphoric state, by coining out philosophies, and analysing life... and convincing himself that there is more to life than the unproductive or bad present (whichever suits the situation). He then thinks about stuff like "the purpose of existence", "what makes one happy", "what defines life", and alot of "is the world really round" useless thoughts; and if he comes into my catagory, might start writing a blog :D

Philosophical thinking then slowly becomes an excuse for procrastination. If only the philosophies we come up with when we are in our life's troughs and periods of unproductivity seem profound and are actually of some use to mankind... we wont be "unproductive" anymore! :D

The funny thing is, all the philosophies we come up with in our troughs are so volatile, that they vanish as soon as we meet our next crest.
(I refer to the ups and downs of life and research as crests and troughs :D )

Okay, enough of "gibberish" for the day... back to work !!!

Using two hands?

Another unproductive weekend passed... with high hopes of achieving the stars, and practical barriers like a needed weekend rest dashing those hopes to the ground...

I sometimes wonder, would ambidexterity improve your intelligence? People say an average person uses less than 10 percent of his / her brain, and a right handed person uses the left side of his brain and vice versa. If we train our kids to be ambidexterous, by making them brush their teeth with both their hands, and write with both their hands, will they use both brain sides? Will it lead to an increase of intelligence quotient?
They say, that one side of the brain is for imaginative and artistic perception, and the other side is for logic. Will ambidexterity lead to a 20 percent usage of the human brain, or just inner conflict? No Idea.

I havent read up much on this... just thoughts which crossed my mind while running MATLAB simulations, when it occurred to me that probably I am not intelligent enough to handle my research and lure my professor at the same time! Next time I doubt my intelligence quotient level, I'll probably practise writing with my left hand :P

I think I should probably experiment these on my kids if I do have any !!! :D

Perfection.... :)

As i promised, this is the first official random post..... :)

i have realised....
that there are no lazy people in this world.
The human mind is like an infinite sided polygon. Unpredictable. Hard to learn. The mind automatically runs a "shortest path algorithm" and an "optimisation" algorithm, whose criteria are more stringent in lazy people: achieve your goals with minimal effort. As one of my friends Melvin put it: "I am not lazy. I just target at achieving infinite efficiency. "

Infinite Efficiency = 100 percent results / 0 input effort.

So this is an explanation to all my acquaintances who classify me as lazy. Thinkingtubelite is an oversophisticated robot who has a futuristic design targeted at achieving infinite efficiency. She is at present in her BETA stage and will hopefully evolve into full form before her anhillation / obsoleteness :) (machines dont "die"!!)
I know infinity is an ideal target, and ideality dosent exist, so by infinite, i am referring to "limit tending to infinity" :D

I am actually aiming at perfection.... I am NOT "lazy" !!! :D

will edit this post, as and when more correlated thoughts cross my mind.... till then,

Adios

Hi !

For a start, this is my first entry into the blogging community of the World Wide Web. I introduce myself as thinkingtubelite, a overwhelmed, overambitious, confused grad student.

The reason and motivation to start this blog, is to to attempt to correlate the random thoughts in my brain, which occur when i spend time procrastinating my research work with no tangible outcome. Now, there is no guarantee that these would make sense to the non-thinkingtubelite reader, nor would be of significance to him or her... nevertheless, once thinkingtubelite decides on doing something, she has to do it... :)

So hopefully, or not hopefully, you should hear more of me soon... since I sense the lack of direction in my research work, and a direct consequence of that is procrastination, which is the seed for random thoughts :) Prediction tells me that my first official (or second) random blog should follow within the next week. (allow for a correction of a few days)

Amicalement,
thinkingtubelite
