Religion and tea pots

Of late my life seems to exist as little clusters of thought which are formed every week, and slowly collate to form some theme of sorts. This time it is the turn of God, to be paraded through my blog, whether he wills it or not.

The singularity named Google

With a very unpopular blogger like me as its author, the only hits my pitiful blog manages to generate are from the search engines. In today’s world the search engines are instant oracles. Google has become a verb of sorts and might pop up in the next Oxford dictionary (with a big copyright symbol of [...]

IITK Website hacked

Yes its true! The official website of IIT Kanpur has been hacked by apparently a McD fan. Click on the screenshot to see a bigger image.

Human mind as a system – II

I really enjoyed writing the first part of this series.
Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man. – Sir Francis Bacon
That quote wouldn’t sound more true to me now than ever. Writing reinforces ideas and helps develop more correlation between the various suspended discrete thoughts. So I decided to [...]

Human mind as a system
