My Calendar

My calendar, today, now, reads like this. Today & tomorrow are now singular. It is a very memorable day.

Act Fast

• Case 1: Were you in a situation where the other person is talking things that you already know? YES. We all come across situations like this.
• Case 2: What if that person starts talking something that is downright cliché for you? How would it be if she starts explaining a topic/idea that you have played, fiddled, toyed, exploded, distorted, bent and dissected..uff...since ages on your cognitive clock.
• Case 3: Even worse, imagine this: You know something deeply, which is result of your Metacognition, analysis, intuition, reflection, and learning. Say, it is internalized for quite some time. After few years/months, you help somebody understand such ideas or thoughts of yours. Time passes by...and one fine day, the same person, our dear "talker"/Alec Smart comes to you and starts flaunting the very idea/topic as if it is HER eureka or as if it was spark of his absolute reflection and as if it is NEW.
• Case 4: Can you beat this: what if the same person repeats case 3 or case 2 or case 1 innumerable times to such an extent where those iterations convince her/him that what she/he is talking/discussing is indeed her intellectual property and it is NEW & it is not at all boring to you..

Guys, I don’t know what you go through when you are subjected to such torture (philosophical, intellectual and emotional) and helpless moments but I experience irritation, frustration, unresponsiveness and state of eternal not-knowing what-to-do almost like social/conversational stalemate!! I totally understand all the possible reasons for dear Alec Smarts intellectual childhood, fudged-up innocence or handicapped socializing………..The point is what the fuck I should do to manage such situations and people? How should I respond, how should I react and what I should talk back.

I have been tormented by countless episodes and now i have reached my threshold. Please donate a suggestion and save a poor and helpless soul out there. ACT FAST.

The Divine Proportion

At least most of us (Indians) are familiar with the truth that the Golden Ratio or Divine Proportion was discovered/invented by Indian mathematicians. But my friends in this part of the world still believe that it was Leonardo of Pisa, fondly called as Fibonacci is the founder. I think I can safely assume that we all know how it is applied, confirmed and reinforced through almost all aspects of life and universe like physical proportions of our bodies, definition of beauty both in humans and nature, movements in stock market, harmony in arts and architecture, determination of ethics, and of course music and natural world. While hunting for the video that I had watched long back, which captured all this quintessence, I stumbled upon this one. Though I didn’t get the one which I was looking for, I am quite pleased with this (temporarily..). Enjoy the video and read through the link below it.
