Contradictions and Truths

I love this word oxymoron . Oxymoron is a Greek term which can be translated literally as "sharp-witted absurdity". In present day English, it is a short phrase that appears self-contradictory in a context. Some of the interesting examples are Deafning silence Act naturally Cold sweat Fuzzy logic Friendly fire Agree to disagree Another word which is similar to this is paradox . Paradox is an apparently true statement that seems to lead to a logical self-contradiction, or to a situation that contradicts common intuition. The identification of a paradox based on seemingly simple and reasonable concepts has often led to significant advances in science, philosophy and mathematics. Following are some interesting examples. When you increase your knowledge, you see how little you know. You see how much you still have to learn. God is not all-powerful as he cannot build a wall he cannot jump My personal view is that the truths of this world are not absolute, but ar...

Sweet Culture

Folks in our office are slaves to a strange culture. I prefer to call it “Sweet Culture”. We frequently get a blank email with subject “Sweets at my desk”. What the heck?

Unmindful of such a risk, some spamster crook...

The Guru

Guru is a Sanskrit word. Gu means darkness and ru means dispeller. Guru is the one who is enlightened and the one who brings enlightenment to his disciples. Our culture equates guru with god by saying “Acharya Devo bhava”. Most of us know the famous guru mantra, which again elevates guru to god status. Guru Brahma Guru Vishnu Guru devo Maheshwaraharaha Guru saakshath Para Brahma Tas mai sri Gurave namaha Every year we celebrate Guru Purnima as a mark of respect to our teachers. Other than this we celebrate teacher’s day on Mr. S. Radhakrishnan’s birthday. If I peek into my past, I see that I've learned under many teachers during my sixteen plus years of formal education. There have been some teachers who have made tremendous positive impact on me and are frequently remembered, there are some who have slipped down my memory lane and there are some whom I remember for not so good reasons. Out of all my teachers I remember the teacher who thought me the music the most. ...
