fallacy of Natural science

Why is natural science an ever evolving revered field of study??

Probably its because proponents of science believe that its has a self corrective mechanism and therefore, cannot hide the truth from revealing itself for all times.

But , then what is this self corrective mechanism???

The procedure adopted that verifiable truth only can be incorporated as science and also by premising its discoveries with mathematical equations.

These mathematical equations and backing often tends to opine/create  truth absolute.

Absoluteness is something that cannot be attained and its unnatural.

However, with  time scientist are obsessed with creating absolute mathematical model and empirical proposition.

And, consequently are trapped in the vicious circle of finding the absolute, but , the fact of the matter is the absolute is non attainable.

No, I'm not being pessimist but  realistically absoluteness is absent.

Therefore, mathematical representation, backing  science holds no real sense.

The more one falls on mathematics for answer the more he is trapped in the limbo of unattainable.

Indian Middle class

Jagdish bhagwati and Arving panagariya in a syndicated article "the bell tolls for congress party" writes that the aggrieved middle class will vote out the congress in 2014.They perceive that the middle class feels that their economic interest is threatened by  ill governance and corruption and this will manifest as angry votes that will push out congress.

No one can categorically say that middle class in India is a homogeneous group.Infact it is layered with high degree of caste and community characteristics- commonly know as "identity politics".

But, if shedding these traditional differences if they vote on economic understanding of the situation, then one can definitely say the celebrated authors were right.

Simultaneously, it also means that our so called middle class is better informed and evolved citizens then.Having said that, is then this elated scenario due to the efforts of the ruled government for the last 5 years.For, its because of them this portion of India tasted the fruits of economic prosperity.If that is true should you vote them out ??

Considering the global gloomy economic scenario and coalition limitation of the government, can't we excuse the congress for the slump? And, about corruption, we need Lokpal- an independent body.This is beyond party and any election. 

Is 21st century- "century of GAS" ??


With the advancement of technology more and more unconventional gas reserves are discovered and exploited for daily use."Shale gas" is the main contender on this unconventional segment.US has large reserve of it and is utilising it to the maximum as an alternate fuel.

IAE reports that the gas reserve has double since a decade and prospect looks extremely positive.It would definitely reduce pressure on oil.

But, transportation and storage are problems regarding gas.It is also capital intensive when thinking of liquifying it or developing a pipeline network.

Because of these reason, presently, the gas market is regional and restricted to customers who make long term contract commitment.

However, with time distance and worries of this kind would reduce.This is precisely the reason IEA is so bullish about the gas industry.Moreover, it is environment friendly.


China Model of development

Is the Chinese model of alternative development  worth replicating ?. A Chinese scholar calls it civilisational state  and some say it is appreciable balance between free market system and a fully state controlled system.

For the last 30 years china has been recording amazing growth.But, of late, it is cooling down.As the other major Asian economies, which experienced growth and then flattened, china has also entered this phase.

 Laws pertaining to de-listing of companies

 1.Securities contract(regulation) act 1956-SCRA
 2.Companies Act 1956

And, finally, that's it.

And, I give up- can't read anymore.

I want to live.

I need to find some incentive to live.I need to reclaim my lost goals and desire.I need my life back.

I want to live...

Monday, May 14, 2012

No bakwas.Back to life.

Whom are you fooling around?. You had a dream to serve the nation. You had a dream to be an civil service officer.You left the job for that.You took up the challenge in Delhi.But, now you are down because no one bothers to call you.Hence, you feel lonely here.Stop this bullshit will you and get on with life.

If you have dream protect it.And, stop giving lame reasons.Its up to you to do it or not and take responsibility for your failure. And, own your failures.

Folly Affirmations

"I will never give up".
"I am determined and committed"

All affirmation of this genre are easy to profess and difficult to live with.One would need an indomitable spirit of confidence and composure, which is a rarity and one who own it, makes it large.

So as I hit the new low of my life, I stand alone.No regret.

Between, today I downloaded my e-admit card.Have chalked out a macro plan till exams.Importantly, I have to gain back my lost mind.I need to believe that, for whatever happens I will have to fight it out alone.

Also, I need to think about a Plan-B. No, its not a sign of paucity of self-belief but just being thoughtful of the surprises life can throw at you.

Feels a lot better than last two days.I spoke to Appa and Ammi. Infact, they are the only one's (also my sister) who have stood besides me at all odds.

Have to also improve on my reading and comprehension skills if I have to compete at any level.As I push myself more to study, I understand my reading skills wobble and I fail to comprehend what I read and further, my mind gets lost in some random thoughts.

I know it sounds like some psychological problem.However, I need to get get around it as soon as possible.

Relinquishing The Hindu has also affected me adversely. I have to make it habit to atleast read the online editorials.

How I wish I was back to me normal best with a composed mind.

Internet has also had it pound of flesh.I have to utilize it, rather than using it as a option to vent off my stress. 


Between, spend some time on facebook. Tellingly, it is marriage season.One of my school friend Govind says "since his intelligence has touched new low level he decides to marry".I wonder what really he wanted to prove with such propositions.Anyhow, different people has different thoughts and as a rational being we should respect all view points.


So thats it pretty much for the day.And, long night awaits me, let me try making it little bit productive.

Bye for now.

Himalaya to Climb

When I started on this journey I felt I would complete it with ease.Now, things have started to change. I feel lost in this ocean.

Kannan Chettan was right. He said " its a long journey and get support from wherever u can".

Sadly, I don't have the habit asking for help even if badly required.This is something inherent in me.

I think I should say good bye to my recluse life at Delhi and get back home.

Fading away

Got thrashed with Mock 3.

Geography looks like Sanskrit and Current affairs German.

Suddenly, everything starts spinning around me.

I am losing faith in myself, have I made the right choices? Have I put the people dependent upon me at risk?

As these questions stare at me, I stand alone.How much I wished for someone to be around, atlleast for a phone call.

As they say: "true friends are those who stay along at the time of adversity".

Chelsea pulls a rabbit out of the hat!! Surprise

And, Chelsea produces a surprise against Barca in the 1st Leg of the CL.One may call Drogba an undeserved scorer but the commitment and 100% effort put up by  the team as a whole is worth mentioning.Ramires has truly become a Chelsea Man, as he contributes when Chelsea needs him the most.Yesterday, he produced the magical run after getting the long ball pass from Lampard to thread a perfect cross for Drogba to finish.Furthermore,Cech,Cole,Cahill,Mikel Terry all were the Heroes of the match.They produced their magical moment of appreciation.So, In all, 1-0 is a deserving score for the grit and discipline shown and moreover not being intimidated by Barca.Barcelona had 72% overall ball possession and made 24 chances but could not get the ball to the net.Well, putting it clinically, what matters for a win is how many goal you scored.If ball possession was the game all about probably you would need the Post!.

Chelsea Go to Nou Camp with this slight lead but the favorites Bracelona still remain.On a lighter note if chelsea plans to touch the ball in Nou Camp probably they would need carry one separately for themselves.

Anyways, Good show Chelsea hope you would be able to replicate they same result in Nou Camp.
