Between the Ears

In the human body there are 2 ears.The most sensitive of the organs lie in between the 2 ears.these organs are the sole reason the human body has become so dependent on the greatest(most useless) invention of mankind ,the computer.
now, talking in technical terms we can find out the reason for our dependence on this machine.A human cant beat a computer in a game of chess.this despite the fact that the human brain is blessed with infinite cache levels, processing rate superior to the fastest supercomputer.
It is the utilisation of these resources that is of paramount importance.Every body knows that we use only a portion of our brain.but seldom has anyone thought, why?
below is one theory that I think may be good enough.
The eyes are our 'stdin' and the brain the processor.When the mode of input is not efficient, the processor doesn't get to do too much work.
Our eyes fill the input buffer in the form of uncompressed images.Even when the only input required is text,or symbols encoded into various formats so that the processor time is not wasted.
This is why we are able to use only a fraction of its capacity. To perform calculations we need only the inputs, not the data in the form of pixels.The fact that we are able to pick data from such a large number of pixels(ideally infinite),in nanoseconds(perhaps even less) proves that our brain has much more capacity than the best of the supercomputers.
Meditation improves this quality of the brain to concentrate on the input symbols rather than the data in the form of pixels.
This is just my theory on why our brain doesn't work as much as it can.I haven't started meditating yet,So there might be a few glitches which have been introduced in the translation from pixels to symbols.

Please point these out.

Devil's Advocate

Someone who takes the worse side just for the sake of argument

One who argues against a cause or position, not as a committed opponent but simply for the sake of argument or to determine the validity of the cause or position.

This term comes from the Roman Catholic Church, where advocatus diaboli (Latin for "devil's advocate") signifies an official who is appointed to present arguments against a proposed canonization or beatification. It was transferred to wider use in the mid-1700s.

justice in nithari

This is my first experience with blogging.

I created this blog quite sometime ago, but did not think it about writing anything.

Now that i have a broken foot and nothing else to keep me occupied, I thought why not give it a shot.

I am a person who likes to keep everything direct. So lets get to business.

As the title of my blog suggests i will try and explore the other side of the story that is making it to the headlines.

Since morning today (13th feb) the news channels are constantly barking that justice has been done in the nithari rape and murder case.

They this because the accused have been made out by them to be barbaric people who have no right to live(animal rights groups where are you..............)

I say who are the news channels to pass a verdict whether the court has done justice or not.

No one wants to know whether Moninder singh pandher(MSP) and Surinder koli(SK) are barbaric or not.If they had done this HORRIBLE crime then they are certainly barbaric, but how do these news channels know whether justice has been done or not.

The MSP family says he is not at fault, but the news channels keep blurting out “ JUSTICE AT LAST”.

SK says he is just being implicated because he was promised a sum of money by the rich and powerful MSP.Noone knows for sure what has transpired, and who is the main culprit, but .....



this is the end of my fist blog post.

It doesn't seem too impressive, but i think the next one would be much better.

Comments ( especially contradicting ones ) are always welcome .
