There is absolutely no script for whatever I am going to write today. I was going through all my blogs and had a sudden spike in my emotions to write. Well, I have several other blogs: a travel blog, a tutorials blog on OpenCV, a blog about the books I read (which has just a couple of posts), and a blog to search and compare different prices of products on Amazon, Flipkart etc. I am sure you must not known about the last two. That's okay, you know enough about me from the rest of my blogs. And there's always Goodreads which is way better to know who is reading what books. On that note, I see I haven't read much books recently. And that is partly because my Kindle is filled with books from great honored men. Take a bow, Thomas Cormen, Trevor Hastie, Sheldon Ross, Kenneth Rosen, Peter Winkler, Timothy Crack, and of course the great great authors of my Engineering Books, without whom my life would be incomplete. I am greatly indebted to these men for shaping my knowledge. So, coming to event about my emotions to write... this is the only blog where I can satisfy those emotions. Especially that post on Imperfect Perfection, I feel so relieved. Well, I sometimes wonder about this kind of psychology, this kind of attitude. I feel we are so pressurized, not to make mistakes. But I like being natural, being able to make mistakes and learn from them. I get some freedom to speak my mind. Which is great because the speed of my typing is slightly greater than the speed of my speech, that is number of words per minute. On TypeRacer, it is about 65 words per minute. Which is not bad.
Huh, but these days, I am completely underground you can say. I've uninstalled Twitter, Youtube, blocked Facebook and I don't even have an account on many other social networking sites.
I want you tell you why.
Now our mind is like a box. If you put stuff in it, it will occupy space.
Remember the last time you watched a movie, or TV, or a Facebook Video, or a Meme on Fb, or someone's cute picture on Instagram. Do you observe how your mind reproduces the exact image of it?
Why?
Because it is colorful and is pleasant to look at. Yeah? You can even remember the exact details of the most funniest post you have seen, or the most beautiful picture of your crush.
Now step back for a moment, and remember the last time you read a book. Try to reproduce an exact image of any page of that book. It should contain only text, not pictures.
What happened? What all details could you reproduce?
After having introduced to Image Processing stuff, I get some idea why Text Processing is so much easier that Image Processing.
Images have lot of data, three channels, R,G,B, several hundreds of rows and columns.
Images definitely occupy more space than a piece of text.
If you try to put those images in a box, then..?
Memories in brain are stored as synapses between the neurons. Stronger the connection, stronger the memory.
This was what I had observed months back. But after 8 months of Facebook-Less days, and a reduced amount of social networking (large part of it due to Quora), I am definitely at a better position. In what way? I am far away from the bullshit. Yes. You heard that true. Now I decide what I want to read, what I want to see and what I want to do. I am not addicted like many others are. And I get lots of free time to do *stuff*. Lot of stuff. At a very important stage in life. Which has the potential of turning my life topsy turvy. Well, time would decide that. But I am happy I took that decision to surrender from the social media, and be underground. I would definitely want to watch that movie on Snowden. Just a random thought.
You can't stay away from the news but. News! News! News! Stock Markets. Indices. Sensex jumped 400 points. Attack on army camp. People losing lives. Religion. Modi. Seperatists. Ice around the moon of Saturn. Tesla. Mark Z. Jio. Can't escape from news. Definitely not. I just want to say something. Look at animals. They are so much attached to their children. We, humans, having a <slightly ?> more emotional quotient than animals, if we lose someone dearly, how would be the feeling be? Why would people want to take someone's lives? We are going to die anyways. What do you want to achieve by doing such explosive activities? Isn't life beautiful? What is religion? It is the humans which have synthesized this concept. Don't know if it even exists. We don't even know how vast is the universe.
I am thinking the creator of this universe must be laughing at us for fighting at such trifle things.
Because there is an end to everything. And our earth is sustained, in my opinion, just because of the Sun. Yes. The Sun. The might Sun. Take a bow. The Sun God. It is a star nonetheless. And all stars have life span. Just when it will end, it will be a Black Hole. It will engulf everything. Our earth, planets, and maybe even Alpha Centauri, who knows? Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow no one has seen. We only have today. Enjoy this moment. And let others too. Let there be peace. Think progressive. Life is short to worry about stuff like supremacy of a religion, a piece of land, a part of sea. Lol, countries are developing nuclear weapons and other such ultra-modern stuff. God doesn't play dice. But I wander if they will ever be using it, or if there will be someone on earth left to use them, or if there would be earth at all. Well, I saw the images by Nasa. So huge is our earth. We are not to be seen. So tiny! And the universe is so huge! And the ego of these tiny creatures?!
Great talking to you! See you next time!
