You are the one!

 One morning in IIT Bombay, an exchange student from Germany and local student were having their meals on the same table. They exchanged each other name and started knowing about each other's research. Slowly they started to know more about each other such as their hobbies, perspective.. Their meal was done and they climbed up the grand circular stair (Mess is underground) to move to their respective departments. The local guy has his cycle, parked just outside the mess, and asked the exchange student to wait for him. He went to his cycle and just pulled over and joined his newly made friend. The friend inquire, “You don't lock your cycle?” On this, this fellow replied, “I don't take anyone's, so none would take mine. Thus, I believe everyone is good” Such a innocent answer has new set of thinking, a manner to perceive the world and to modulate it.

Nobody is same, but isn't it true that everyone wants to be good, wants to be truthful to one's soul, wants to be ideal for others? And the answer is yes, this is the thing which is common. This is what would start a new revolution to lead one's life. Let me put this way – there is no thing which is bad. It is a way we perceive it. For example, in comparison of pigeon with earthworm, whom do you think bad (bad is not a good term)? Most of us would likely say earthworm, but if the same question is asked to a farmer, the answer would be other way round. Farmer, sees earthworm as his friend, who helps in fertilizing his soil, whereas, pegion as pest, who eat away his seeds. Thus, it depends on one's ability to perceive that the thing is good or not. Lets do an experiment, think of a thing which you feel is dirty/bad. Now, find out its origin, from where it have come from. Let's say, house hold dust, which we generally wipe out from our television screen. In a closed room from where such things can come in. It is generated, lets assume that its organic dust generated by you. It have been a part of your dead cell, lets say skin. Now how much we do care for our skin. So, nothing is as such bad.

We all know about the story of dog barking in house of mirrors, where all his image were barking back at him. If the dog would have greeted his image then all his reflection would have greeted him back. Similarly, this world is house of mirrors and all behaviour to oneself is nothing but our own reflection. The way we project our image in same manner we would see the reflection. This further explains the concept of pink goggles. When we are generally very happy, mirth in innocence, we see happiness everywhere, everything seems to be happier and pink, hence, pink goggles.

In VJTI Mumbai (Matunga) there is a SBI extension branch, if anyone would have visited the branch, they would realize that the entire branch is managed by single lady. Fair and beautiful, apart from that, what make her more adorable is her tender smile. Irrespective of our mood as soon as we step in the bank, we would rejuvenate. She has created such an environment in small place that one would always end one's conversation with thank you. Thus it is we, who craft our surrounding. What if one is in spoiled mood, how he/she can have this Midas touch on his/her surrounding? The answer lies in this question. Once a father has to wake his two sons, one of them is in deep sleep and other one is pretending. Whom the father would be able to wake up? If we are angry we can do two things; Firstly, we can pretend to be happy. How pretending to be happy could be answer? When we pretend that we are happy we automatically wear a smile and this smile makes the difference. Slowly, it dissolve the wall of pretendance and diffuse in our core. The outcome is one will be naturally be happy. It is worth trying. In the second approach, we can pretend that we can never loose our temper. When we say, "I would not loose my temper", this means that we are actually challenging ourselves in becoming angry. And knowingly it we can never be defeated. Thus resulting in happiness.

This treatment can be performed for all evils of human behaviour, which are, Kama (Lust), Krodh (Anger), Madha (Addiction), Lobh (Greed), Masther ( envy). This means one can be moral man and one's surrounding would be ideal environment. With this entire universe could be conceived as Heaven.

Cashless Economy 'Dcurrency'

    

      I had to pay 10 INR to a shopkeeper, I had plenty of options. I had old and fragile bank note, a brand new note, a note of 100 and some coin to make it 10. I gave him old note. What made me to go for it? Does value of money differers with different from? Answer is yes and no, although the economical value may be same but its total value is beyond that. When new 10 Rx coin came into the market I felt so special that  I hardly ever used it. Its value was defiantly beyond 10 Rs. 

      What do we do when we pay? We exchange its economical value. If one reads the currency note (India) it clearly mentioned that we exchange things of same value of currency. It also means, currency don't have any value of its own, its a sort of token for a value which is printed upon it. Si how are we going to eradicate this incongruity of values from currency?

      The excellent solution is cash less economy. After all what is the purpose of currency? Its only its economical value. so like credit card if we all have some sort of electronic medium then we could really solve the issue. Let call this medium as Dcurrency (Reg). Lets see the cons' of such system.

1. Unknown debit from one's account 

     It is possible like in actual credit card we have to undergo unknown charges. but it can be sorted out simply by changing the mode of operation. Like to debit amount from one's account he/ she have to swipe / tap one's Dcurrency (Reg). So there won't be any unknown debit. There would be definitely no problem with crediting into one's account.

2.Misuse of Dcurrency(Reg)

    There are two points to it

a. Haven't we loose our wallet full of money? Same is the case with Dcurrency. If we loose it anyone could have access to our account. But being digitalized we could baffle this, by incorporating password/ pin. But if it would be for all the transitions like bus ticket or train counter then there would be accumulation  of huge delays. So the best solution would be using different level of security. On an average one keeps 500 INR in one's wallet, it could be made to do any transitions up to 300 INR and beyond that one have to put in pin upto 1000 INR and so on. One can customize the security as per one's will, after all its one's decision how much to carry in one's wallet.

 b. Other point is making it implanted. I have seen elephant in south being kept under track by implanting a small chip behind their ears. So we can make similar implants in our left carpel. This would be be nice exercise and topic of research for medical peoples. Lets stick to the topic of Dcurrency(Reg) and not digress to medical things, but let me put up its not at all difficult.

  3. System failure or power failure.

      Like in current electronic money if server is down there is offline processing which updates the data as soon as server is connected back. same can be done that too without delay. For power failure, the Dcurrency(Reg) should be used as magnetic inducted tap to access one's accounts in offline  mode. Its like opening digital door using magnetic strip. Power requirement is less but still we could count on adapters and batteries. Moreover new India would not be power down country.

     If entire establishment of system have to change then it should behave a huge advantages. And in fact it has.,

1. All the problems arising due to physical currency would be eradicated.

   RBI dispose soiled notes of worth 2 lakh core per year and smaller denomination accounts for 13 billion units. Smaller denominations such as 1, 2,5, 10 are circulated in huge volume but has average life less than a year. And also contributes to lower percentage of entire value. With Dcurrency(Reg) this won't be there. One would also need to carry wallet full of money, risk of getting it lost would always be there. The issue of fake note damage notes with general public would be completely be removed. The complications arising to get exact fare would be solved. 

2. Faster economy

     We already know we don't have to spend time in queue, just a tap and go. Not only this the delays in en-cashing checks, bank transition would also be scrubbed away. Everything would be online so there won't be situation when the money is in no man's land as in online transition currently. 

3. Expenses in making currency

 RBI won't have to print them, they won't have to spent on its security, transportation, verification these all would be irrelevant. Move over RBI won't have to use up its gold and would help in conserving reserves for country. 

4. Prevention of illegal means.

The anti social factors like corruption, begging illegal transition would be dead stopped. As all transition would be recorded and everything could be traced back. Accounting and everything could be done in a click.

One can always get detail abut oneself via mobile or bu call after verification. ATM could be used for online transition, nothing could go waste. accounts ca be related, hoarding, illegal trafficking can be easily be seen. There is so much about it. One of such initiation is taken by ITZ Cash in IITB where Dcurrency(Reg) is used in name of ITZ Cash of size similar to SD card attached to a mobile. It is used in place of cash. But it is yet to show that much success. because the vendors are not able to use the Tapping machine, and they prefer tradition currency as their contractors are out of IITB. If entire system is made to go by Dcurrency(Reg) it would be surely a success. And we would live in Cashless Economy.

ITZ Cash on mobile

I have a lucky 10 Rs coin and I am going to keep it forever, but I am going to keep only one.

Jiah We Miss You

   Today is almost a week for Jiah’s suicide. It was 3^rd of June I realize that she has hanged herself in her Sagar Sangeet apartment at Juhu. It was shock not only for me but for most eminent personalities from film industry. I decided to wait and to know all about this. It was really shocking she was not involved in anything annoying, how all of sudden she decided to take this extreme step!?

   The transcript of her suicide note was posted on Time of India website, and I guess every one of us might have at least once scanned it under one’s eyes. I could don’t believe myself, that she was involved to this extend.  She was born on 20^th Feb 1988, few months older to me, in a well groomed family at New York. She have also performed excellently well in her filming studies, she have received 5 times A grading in Film studies and literature, London. She had got to meet several people of different kinds, she was very mature and confident person. When she the role opposite to Amitabh Bachchan in Nisabd in 2007 she had a zeal to act in such a controversial movie, and specially she was taken back from Tumsa Nahin Dekha for the mature role to play. I adore such a daring one can posses and that too in her debut film. The girl must be a real passionate about such things.

   No doubt she follows the footsteps of Angelina Jolie since she has changed her name from Nafisa to Jiah after the release of Gia in 1998. But her role model was her mother who hails from Lucknow  and was also a Hindi movies actress. She has also single handed supported her. Jiah was inspired by movie Rangeela and she was very small at that time. But how fortunate she was, as she got to act opposite to Amir Khan in Ghajini. She had a real talent embed in her. She was very mature for her age group. But how could she take such an extreme step to end up her life?

   Her note reveals that she was in relationship with Suraj Pancholi. Love is divine as I always say. It has miraculous effect on everyone. But it also has cons. Being in a relationship, nowadays, no one can be excluded. People are now mature and have an authority to select one’s partner.  Rather I would say, if one want to know about oneself (most of us will think we know already, but ask to describe in 10 lines it will take a nerve out of us) the best think is to get in a fair relationship. It altogether a different experience. But a warning don’t be blind or an idiot. You have a capability to think for yourself. Jiah was right to be in the relationship. She was mature enough and was aware of everything. There was a great mishap in her relationship. We become frustrated when the things expected are not returned in the same magnitude. This happened with poor Jiah, she had expected a justified treatment and she could not fetch it. The note also reveals that she had given everything for a relation what a girl of her age could not do that simply. But she had nothing in her hand after that. She had put up her 10 years of her carrier to risk didn’t bother for it even for a moment. Truly selfless.

   Dear Jiah, we would be always be missing your absence in film industry. You were a bold character in everyone’s heart. If you could have just shared your feeling with your mother or sister or any of your close friends, I am sure you could have not taken this decision. You were so smart anybody could have been fallen for you. You still had not seen the beauty of this world. Suicide was never an option for you.

  

We love you. And we all morn for you. May your soul find peace in heaven

.

Amen.

The World Within

The World Within

       “Plan as if you are going to live forever and retire as if you are going to die tomorrow” this is famous and ancient thought and if followed could do miracle. I came across it when I was in school doing grade 7^th course, I could not get the essence of first half of it but second half I assumed it as to give 100% of what you can. As time passed I realized we are supposed to give cent percent effort for some goal that is where you engage in planning. Thus the gist of the thought is to set a ‘Life-Goal’ (meaning, the goal which you consider to achieve against an opportunity of your existence) and plan all actions directing towards it, may involve smaller goals (rather aims) but ultimately leading to Life-Goal, and planning is to considering that there are no considerations (constrains) such as of quality, efforts, wealth and time and then you give what all you could in the spur of time every instance.

      But when I was thinking about my Life-Goal, I was pondering what is most important in life, and is it worthy enough that it is equivalent to my precious life. Since I was not given a chance to take this opportunity, my goals are also not pre-deterministic. (It didn’t mean I complain of my birth). So the task was to set my Life worthy goals. And here was a problem, everything I thought of boiled down to something which is more core to me, something which is not defined, or have plenty of other synonyms, such as inner peace, real happiness, subconscious bliss etc. Sometimes I even feel that meditation, Dhayan, Smadhi, Bodhya are nothing but pointing to same substance which everyone is in search of.

“What matters you the most?” this is key for the above corundum. As there is key for a question similarly there is key for an answer. Close your eyes, what you see? Something (may not be anything). Think of a thing (may be intangible) which you like at that moment the most. Now hold your breath, wait, re answer the question. Does now answer changed to Breath. That obvious, it’s easy to relate Life with it. But hold on, what if you have all the breath till you wish, will you be still happy? Or will you like to have life like that? If your answer is yes, then there should be absolutely everyone achieving goals of life and should be happy as everyone can breathe till they want to.

    So where does problem lies? It’s inside you. Things which matter you most are those which you are related to internal contented. When I close my eyes I see relative nothing but this relation is with outer world, but there is inner one as well. How we justify it. Take for an example whom you love the most for which you could even risk your own life (I am sure there are). So you know them in and out at least there is some perception. Now if I ask you to close your eyes and then think for the same person is that the same perception? (I am not talking of dreaming of them, Dreaming involves some sort of subconscious thinking). And I am sure it is not. What we generally perceive is physically dimension, but it is still attached because of our subconscious involvement, or rather mentally. The mental perception of person is behaviour of the person, his/her manners, body languages, altitude etc. These are mentally characteristics. So if your loved one is not physically matters then how could any other thing in physical world matters you?

Close your eyes and listen to sound which your body makes, it is generally some rushing sound of blood, beating of heart, gastric noises, moments of joints. This are still physical, similarly see what you can see (raise no question its close eyes) you will see some red background, or some dark blur images, still they are physical. Then how you reach to your inner world? Focus, imagine a bright light (you are free to imagine anything), now here you are getting your mind into action, ask it to focus such that you could see all the hue, you could. Does it have single pale colour? Or something which is random, a spur you think as bright and another dark? My point is not to think but observe what you are witnessing once you have said bright light. So just observe. Do you realize it is not static but changes as you see in more? Well you can use this as a meditating technique to evolve what you can see which is actually not there.

        Now start with feelings, you can make out things are hot and cold, try to feel you are heating your palm (you can use any of body parts). Do you feel hot signal are perceived by your brain? You should then try with cold signal, similarly you can do it for any other sensation (physical). Let’s do an experiment, take a glass of hot water and hold (don’t burn yourself, slightly warm) do you feel hot? Observer heat signal moving from palm to brain, now switch to cold as you did it in previous case (it is not that difficult). You will actually perceive hot object as cold ones. Now this is not physical, even the first experiment was not physical it is mind switch. This is an exact mechanism which martial art people uses, they use it to stop the feeling of pain (as I conceived from documentaries).

        The point is whatever you do, feel and perceive is all you mind. So even if your mind don’t mind you, it is the fact that mind is something which matter the most (There may be various others, but this is what straight forwardly I am drawn to the conclusion). So no matter in what way we interact with outer surrounding there is always a mental perception (I call it as Mental Picture). So although you are interacting but in a fact you are playing with mental picture. Let’s feel the difference of two worlds. You know entire of water in ocean could be evaporated into atmosphere (I wanted to say atmosphere has a capacity to hold such a large quantity), now how large do you think air molecule goes in space, (that’s a limit of exosphere). Now can you stretch it beyond its actual limits? Obviously you can do that, lets expand it to the size of Jupiter (Largest planet of the system), can you expand it beyond this? (Try expanding to envelop entire solar system). So here lies a difference, mentally we are enormously strong, we can think of anything.

        At this point I don’t want to falsify physical presence of heavenly bodies, and also not to encourage to live within own world, but explore, what this inner world. When we dream generally it is not necessary to have its physical coexistence but still we perceive it to be real. More over they are all out of our control. Dreams are involuntary mental picture which come out of subconscious involvement as I said before. Have you ever heard of controlled dreams (if you have then please let me know as I would be first one to experiment upon)? But Advance yoga technique, Kundalini actually deals with that, it is a visualization of coiled serpent which rises and hoods over your head, I don’t know what is happening physically but this is what people see (Mental Picture). Mediation works also on similar principles, you visualize something (ex. breath) and focus upon. What we are actually do is we bring minimizes the barriers between our mental (conscious) with our subconscious thoughts. With this we become capable enough to see all the minute details of your Mental Picture. You can go into and see it, experience it and manipulate it.

      To do the same thing using cyber technique we encompass the need of unwanted experiments. In simulation we built in so many constrains so that it should work out abreast to physical world, more and more cluster are use, even we model using supercomputers. Over that when you write codes for simulation, it is often asked to visualize yourself at that scale. So if cyber things could be worked upon, our brain is far more advance, actually beyond any supercomputer in times to come.

       Thus what we think, we have its Mental Picture, What we have we see and feel, and what we feel is real.

       Thank you.

(Believe in you, you are nothing but universe, and universe is nothing but you)
