The Leap Years In the movie, there was a scene where Li-Ann was getting married and she asked KS how he knew Suneetha was "The One", and he replied that ..... "Because she made me forget you...." Someone said that's a line she'll never forget from the show. I'll never forget that she said that too. Thursday, April 24, 2008
Alfagreyus: Hi! Without taking into account the issue of establishing a stone by God, which he won't be able to pick up, how do you think, may be something in this world, what can God never see? Alfagreyus: I do not know and wun devote much of my time contemplating that. Besides, the stone example is more of a play on words and their semantic meaning than anything constructive to proving God. Lots of brilliant minds have pondered about God and I say it all boils down to whether one gravitates towards the logical side of the camp or whether one is more comfortable believing in God based on faith alone. Many ppl have used the example of us humans with our computers, extending the argument that computers will never figure out the nature of its creators. True indeed. So we come back to the point that most faiths describe their idea of God with the same, uncanny similarities. To just take a simple example, due to our mortality, we always think of God being immortal. If we take it one step further and think of the analogue for the case of computers. Will the computers with 2GB ram think of the nature of their creator as entities have infinite RAM and processing power? One will indeed find it laughable having that in mind and going back to the case of humans and their idea of God. I think to believe, not only do we have problems with the existence of God, we have also the issue of the nature of God. Having said that, I must say I don't really take sides. I'm just purely interested in theology and its arguments from both sides. And indeed, I'm always keen to learn more about God, and I frequently attend church too with my very good fren. Pix

Happy Tired with 12-14 hrs in the office straight almost everyday... i can't imagine how it'll be if i'm still with her now. even weekends are devoted to work mostly. am just happy to be able to find time being with myself on weekends... just sit someplace, and quietly read a book. maybe, life does have a plan for me, in a sense. work excites me so i'm kinda happy :) Been reading "My life as a Quant :Reflections on Physics and Finance", which is an exciting read tat never fails to fascinate me. it's about some physics PhD who went into finance, into what's called the Quantitative Finance fields. its much like rocket science in finance, and this is the story about this person who went on to lead the Quantitative Statistical Abitrage dept in Goldman Sachs. there a tour of much physics related stuff in there that is great for the layman and brief mentions of the many breakthroughs leading to Nobels. non-conservation of parity is particularly blaffling....

It's been a while since i last posted! ... well..... i'm glad that in a way, i can lead a normal life once again. being on my own is really great. sometimes i do feel a sense of pity and sadness that i failed... but i guess, in some areas i did real badly... but for the impt aspects i probably did more than most ppl. work is interesting!! =] but its also tough, more tough than adsk with its 12-14hr days on average that all of the team spend in office all week along. pace is fast but it's just great for me, love it when things are moving, and moving fast... guess i'm always one who'll take up the challenge. love the need strive for perfection, cuz mistakes cost you real money and you wun want to be famous when there are tons of ppl using your platform. all these forces you to think and rethink, design and redesign the code and to consider all possibilities and issue from all angles, trying to weed out performance pitfalls. multithreading and asynchronism make things interesting indeed! learning is great! :) "Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler."- Einstein Friday, January 25, 2008

Irony of ironies Just accepted a job offer from Merrill Lynch last week. It sort of got me to where I will be quite comfortable in terms of financials. But ironically, never ever in my life have I also felt so depressed... Sigh. irony of ironies. Strangely, I'm someone whom GOD showers with alot of what I don't really need. Money has never been a big deal to me, but rather, i just want simple happiness. And strangely all I get is always the former, and the constrast to the other aspect of my life is excruciatingly painful. It just very very depressing for me I'm tired. I wonder how many times i have to go thru this.... Saturday, November 10, 2007
