Life is Pi (π)

If life had to be a mathematical notation. It would most certainly be π. It's one expression which has been at the center of every mathematicians curiosity. Pi is random, simple yet of utmost importance. It has so many definitions, so many purposes. It's simplicity with usefulness is what makes it the cynosure of mathematicians.

Life just as pi is random. Pi is inaccurate just as our life which is ridden with mistakes. It is simple and complex at the same time. The superficially you look, the simple it becomes, the deeper you look the complex it gets (the record for the most accurate calculation of π is upto 5 trillion digits). In life you can't really predict what is going to happen.

Life is completely random, it follows no pattern. Just as π has no set pattern. What happens next in life is just an outcome of what has already happened or what is happening now. Similarly, what happens to the value of Pi is the outcome of 22/7. Life like Pi can never be made perfect, what we must do is endeavour to reach as close to it as possible.

A someone like Mahatama Gandhi or Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru always looked to achieve perfection for the state. A creation of welfare state where there would be efforts to achieve the best of one and all. This is what they tried to reflect in our constitution. They tried creating a welfare state.

Today we must learn from the symbolism of Pi. As aspirants of managerial posts we must be prepared to attain perfection in anything we pursue. The challenges look simple but are actually daunting. What's more is that they are absolutely random. You never know what's next. Also, No matter how hard you try, its never the best you could have done, it's only the optimum.

The God Delusion

People all over the world create delusions around themselves, a persistent false belief held in the face of strong contradictory evidences. In India alone we have 33 crore Gods to choose from, for the 100 crore population; a sort of personalised delusion for everyone. In addition to that there are crores of God men. The social structure is so formed that it makes us oblivious to the delusion. We continously doubt our own abilities, and associate results to the blessings of some higher beings. The degraded self-esteem is what pushes you deeper into the delusion. To quote Douglas Adams - "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?" The belief that the world was created by some God and that everything in this world is His creation is fundamentally flawed. If he created everything than who created Him. Putting the creation of everything under the ambit of one entity was to simplify the exp...

The Goa Travelogue : Trip of a Lifetime

Our group of friends shifted hostels in the second year and took rooms close to each other and the friendship grew stronger from there with each passing day. Thus was born x0x-ers (3, 4 – 0 – 1, 3) i.e. rooms 301,303,401 and 403. We spent countless hours planning trips, parties, discovering music and other random shit. Goa is a destination every college group plans to visit during their college days. This was one trip we just had to make. After hundreds of hours spent on planning the trip, many last minute changes and one person pulling out we finally managed to make the trip with a bunch of our European friends joining us there for what would be the most memorable trip of my life. I as a writer am incapable of putting in words the sheer fun we had on this trip so most of you would not realise how beautiful some of the moments were. Day 1 I arrived before everyone else travelling from Mumbai. Riding 30 km on a scooter solo from Madgaon to Calungute was a sign o...

He who knows how to be Poor knows Everything

In today's materialistic world, being poor is the worst thing that can happen to you. Being educated, being moralistic and being principled amount to almost nothing if you are poor. There are no opportunities to come out of that quagmire. Someone who has been through this and has somehow overcome the mountain of difficulties, would possess incredible amounts of determination, will and belief in his ability. Such talent is rare but often results in producing the greats. Being poor teaches you time management, how to make the most of your time to survive. It teaches you adaptability, how to adjust to the extremes of living conditions. It pushes you to extend your boundries and grow farther. It makes you emotionally and mentally strong. Someone who has been facing defeat after defeat but still gets up everytime to face adds so many facets to his personality. You learn only from your mistakes. If you have never faced defeat, it would be hard to survive. To relate to my own l...
