From where you’re sitting, move your face closer to the above image. Notice a change in brightness? Now move your head back. The illusion is called the dynamic luminance-gradient effect - or, more fun, the “here comes then sun” effect.

Why I don’t believe in religion part1 on Christianity
First things first, THIS IS NOT A SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE. I’m just pointing common things you happened to be blind to. If you are offended by this, it means this is meant to offend you ( after all, why should only religious believes has the special bonus to not to be offended ).
The main standpoint of all religions is they prefer to think that this “the Earth” is the single most significant place in the universe. if that is so, whoever created the universe has a good taste of humor. Who in his right mind would choose an utterly insignificant little blue green planet orbiting a small yellow star in the western arm of an utterly insignificant galaxy to be the SINGLE most significant place in the universe. (thanks Doug for the book). What’s so special about our galaxy from 170 billion (1.7 × 1011) galaxies in this known universe, what’s so special about the western arm from others, what’s so special about this G2V star from others? those are the questions I ask.
Now it comes to the god person, God is or was actually a concept. Our ancestors who came down from trees used to (and still they are) ask a lot of questions, they were like this, Who are we? What’s that bright thing in the up thingy thing? And what are those little lights? What’s your number? Can I take you out to dinner?. The easiest explanation for most of these questions is “god”. Man “makes” things, so they thought, since we are the only type that makes things, whoever made all of this must be a larger “ projection” of ourselves. Have you seen any god statue or painting apart from a combination of things we see in the day to day life. What you’ve got to see is god is just a delusion, a creation of us. A creation made by us to explain the “hard” part.
You may wonder, then why should we believe in religion? Well, you don’t have to. The mere point some people believe in religion is for “salvation” in the afterlife. But what if there’s no afterlife? What if you were taught a lie from the beginning? What if you were to come out of the blindfolds you were in all your life and to see the reality? What if you can question something without suffering “who am I to question god”? We were all raised in religion environments, we all believe what our mothers and fathers taught us, did they ever told you “son, when you grow up, you can select what religion you want to believe in”? I guess not. They never told you to question the god right? It was the system molding you, it doesn’t matter what religion is, you all were raised in conditions to believe what you were brought up in. If, for a chance, you were born in Viltvodle VI as a Jatravartid, you’ll believe that the entire Universe was in fact sneezed out of the nose of a being called the Great Green Arkleseizure, and you’ll live in constant fear of the day called “coming of the great white handkerchief”.
The religious ideas were created to keep us in frames, keep us from questioning the “unanswerable” from the so called wise people. Whenever an unanswerable question arises, the easiest thing is to say “it’s god’s will”. My point of writing this sort of thing is, we are all bounded by these ideas, if we can come out of them and see the reality without the polaroids of religion, we’ll see a lot more than this, so please come out of the bonds you are in.

Thought of writing on the blog for a while but no “genuine” ideas came to me. I thought of writing about something most of my friends (or rather colleagues) are talking about. EXAMS. yeah, most of us hate it and a small portion way ahead of us in the bell curve kind of like it.
The question I’m trying to answer (or discuss) is why we hate exams. after all, we have learnt most of the parts (if not all) asked in the paper. in my opinion, the reason for this Exam-hatred is our lack of preparation. not only that, a major part is played by our foolishness. If we cannot do anything about our stupidity maybe we can come up with ways to treat our unpreparedness. one way is to try and attend lectures ( but I do not recommend chemistry, for it has confused me way more than I can imagine). but for some (if not all) attending lectures are not enough. some of our subjects require a deep understanding of the subject to write damn good answers. But some, like physics, only requires you to know the theory. And it expects you to know where to apply the theory. the trick in these kind of subjects are to get your theory cleaned up at the lectures (for *anything you believe*’s sake people. ask some fucking questions at the lectures) we all know that both the lecturers and students are bored to shit in lectures. why don’t you take a step ahead to ask some interesting questions about the subject. maybe something you don’t understand. it’s always better than taking it to the paper with you. I’m kind of sleepy now. gotta go

Remember me …
Remember, I will still be here
As long as you hold me, in your memory
Remember, when your dreams have ended
Time can be transcended
Just remember me
I am the one star that keeps burning, so brightly,
It is the last light, to fade into the rising sun
I’m with you
Whenever you tell, my story
For I am all I’ve done
Remember, I will still be here
As long as you hold me, in your memory
Remember me
I am the one voice in the cold wind, that whispers
And if you listen, you’ll hear me call across the sky
As long as I still can reach out, and touch you
Then I will never die
Remember, I’ll never leave you
If you will only
Remember me
Remember me…
Remember, I will still be here
As long as you hold me
In your memory
Remember, when your dreams have ended
Time can be transcended
I live forever
Remember me
Remember me
Remember… me… -
Definitions of Terms Commonly Used in Higher Math
The following is a guide to the weary student of mathematics who
is often confronted with terms which are commonly used but rarely defined. In the search for proper definitions for these terms we found no authoritative, nor even recognized, source. Thus, we followed the advice of mathematicians handed down from time immortal: “Wing It.”
CLEARLY: I don’t want to write down all the “in- between” steps.
TRIVIAL: If I have to show you how to do this, you’re in the wrong class.
OBVIOUSLY: I hope you weren’t sleeping when we discussed this earlier, because I refuse to repeat it.
RECALL: I shouldn’t have to tell you this, but for those of you who erase your memory tapes after every test…
WLOG (Without Loss Of Generality): I’m not about to do all the possible cases, so I’ll do one and let you figure out the rest.
IT CAN EASILY BE SHOWN: Even you, in your finite wisdom, should be able to prove this without me holding your hand.
CHECK or CHECK FOR YOURSELF: This is the boring part of the proof, so you can do it on your own time.
SKETCH OF A PROOF: I couldn’t verify all the details, so I’ll break it down into the parts I couldn’t prove.
HINT: The hardest of several possible ways to do a proof.
BRUTE FORCE (AND IGNORANCE): Four special cases, three counting arguments, two long inductions, “and a partridge in a pair tree.”
SOFT PROOF: One third less filling (of the page) than your regular proof, but it requires two extra years of course work just to understand the terms.
ELEGANT PROOF: Requires no previous knowledge of the subject matter and is less than ten lines long.
SIMILARLY: At least one line of the proof of this case is the same as before.
CANONICAL FORM: 4 out of 5 mathematicians surveyed recommended this as the final form for their students who choose to finish.
TFAE (The Following Are Equivalent): If I say this it means that, and if I say that it means the other thing, and if I say the other thing…
BY A PREVIOUS THEOREM: I don’t remember how it goes (come to think of it I’m not really sure we did this at all), but if I stated it right (or at all), then the rest of this follows.
TWO LINE PROOF: I’ll leave out everything but the conclusion, you can’t question ‘em if you can’t see ‘em.
BRIEFLY: I’m running out of time, so I’ll just write and talk faster.
LET’S TALK THROUGH IT: I don’t want to write it on the board lest I make a mistake.
PROCEED FORMALLY: Manipulate symbols by the rules without any hint of their true meaning (popular in pure math courses).
QUANTIFY: I can’t find anything wrong with your proof except that it won’t work if x is a moon of Jupiter (Popular in applied math courses).
PROOF OMITTED: Trust me, It’s true -
This day, we walk along with death,
and laugh at its pale spectre.We will not fear those cruel swords,
our courage is far sharper.Mistake not our silence for submission.
For beneath lies lava, molten.O Martyre, O men of valour.
One day the enemy will sing your praises.We will show our mettle
when the moment of truth arrives....for courage lives in deeds,
not boastful lies.We’ve gathered in the enemy’s lair,
my friend....ln the hope of dying for our motherland.
We will not fear those cruel swords,
our courage is far sharper.This day, we walk along with death,
and laugh at its pale spectre.

Just a flashback. A great movie that came few years back.

People prance
As per usual, this text don’t have anything to do with prancing people. BUT it is about people. the basic rule about people is THEY FUCKING CHANGE. Even me for that matter. I’m not referring to the physical growth or something (AND yes, your penis wasn’t the same size when you were born. or is it??) I’m referring to the people changing from “I love you now and forever more” to “I hate you you fucking bastard. You are such a LOSER!! What was I thinking when I married you.” orrrr… “You are my best friend man, always” to “What the fuck you were thinking when you didn’t return my money?? I’m gonna sue you you asshole”

A recent chat
Me: everything’s biased in it’s own way
She: well sometimes i get this feeling I will love the idea of international uni’s
Me: Not me.
She: hehe atleast we will be fairly graded
Me: In the short run, you may feel it’s fair. but not-so-fair in the long run.
She: why not?
Me: At least our girls don’t have to be prostitutes to get good results now.
She: ha ha, what makes you think that will happen then?
Me: Everything have a market value in this capitalist world we live
