Me Myself and I

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...

I had a great weekend as I got to watch three movies and much to my luck all of them were good in their own right. Fluid Friday night was gulped down watching “Lost in Translation”, Saturday night was killed watching “Troy” and the weekend was ended well watching inimitable Satyajit Ray’s “Shataranj ke Khiladi” on Sunday night. “Lost in Translation”. A good film by Sofia Copola (Yup, She is the same girl who played Michael Corleone’s daughter Mary in Godfather Part III). I am sure she has inherited some of her father’s genes. This film explores a relationship that blossoms in a week between two bored individuals who happen to be in much happening capital of Japan. One is a middle aged Actor who has come to endorse a whisky brand and other a young lady married to busy fashion photographer. Brilliant performance by lead actor Bill Murray, who portrays the role of middle aged Hollywood star. “Troy”. The latest Hollywood block buster, with spectacular visuals and effects is a must...

Internet always amazes me. Whenever I think of internet’s contribution to my personal growth, internet occurs to me as a guru or a guiding light. I have got so many enlightening facts, ideas, knowledge and happiness from it. Any day I prefer internet to TV. Just like the mobile phones have become sort of extensions of our physical bodies, Internet too has become a necessity. Day by day my dependence on internet is growing. Right now text entered through key board is the most effective way to search for information on web. A day may come when we’ll be able to input voice data by singing an obscure tune and search for songs that match it. If internet not had been there, I can imagine how though it would have been for someone to gather knowledge. Probably one had to procure many books (pretty though job), read those books, collate the information, process it, contact many people, discuss with them and get their views, and then form a thorough understanding. Probably it would’ve taken ag...

Off late there is something predictable about unpredictable Bangalore monsoon. Well, It is still remains unpredictable, but the predictable thing about it is, any day it rains, damn thing rains in evenings, that too when I am about to leave after a hard day of time passing in office. Today was one of such days. There was not much work, the scheduled tele-conf got postponed, No looming deadlines. Today had all makings of a “perfect day at work”. I was planning to get back home early, clean a huge pile of newspapers and clothes lying everywhere from past one month, have a good dinner, watch some TV… etc. etc. Thunder Struck and all my plans got washed away just like few people living in low lying areas of Bangalore get washed away in drains along with their meager properties every year. Tens of people have been killed by this year’s monsoon even after our BCC having made “elaborate arrangements”. Anyways let me come back to my plight, So I started wondering what to do? Well what can...
