Understanding Science Better

You might be surprised to know that I still remember Newtons 1st law of motions - very much like the laws of thermodynamics. I studied it more than 10 years ago for the first time. Crammed it and got highest marks in Physics. I saw the follow through of a fast bowler in cricket and realised that yes this is correct. But did I understand it fully. In retrospect, I didnt understand it at all. Newton didnt want us to understand this only in physical sense but also as a law of human tendency. There was a hidden message which most of us missed.

But one day just like the apple fall incident, I tried to co-relate many events in behavioural space and suddenly realised that this hold true for how things workin the system -atleast when applied to system where human are involved. There are two domains - humanistic non-behavioural domain and humanistic beharioural domain.

Before I explain you the details, lets revise 1st law of motion by Sir Issac Newton, the greatest scientist had to say ."If an object is in motion with an eastward velocity of 5 m/s, they will continue in this same state of motion (5 m/s, East) unless applied by external force which is not balanced."

Lets apply this one humanistic non-behavioural domain. A pretty girl would continueto look pretty unless someone throws acid on her or the force of large time does some damage or you increase the bank balance of some plastic surgeon. This is not very difficult to understand but nevertheless it is an important concept. So wheenever you see a girl, you must remember this. So if you see a pretty girl and wish she be ugly, dont just wish - you have to provide the extra force. You know what I mean.HCl or H2SO4 you have to decide.

The more important thing is the application of Newtons 1st law on behaviorul domain.This says that a girl who is nice would be continue being nice till something horribly wrong goes. Same holds for a bitch or for a dog.

Remember profit booking. The ones who are booking profit would keep on booking profit and the ones who are not will keep on not booking. The ones who booked yesterday will book it today. Unless there has to be a force which is not balanced.

So rise up and let the force flow to change the inertia of the system, the inertia of the society, to get what you want and to book handsome ( or beautiful depending on who you are and what you want) profits.

The Art of Profit booking

What is profit booking ? Suppose I buy 100 shares of sail at Rs 27 each and sell them at Rs 50, I have booked profit or in other words I have done profit booking. But what is the role of profit booking in one's life especially if he or she doesnt indulge in stock market. Profit booking is the base on which life revolves and those who missed the point are the losers in this life.

In life, everyone is on lookout for profit booking. What does this mean ?It means that everyone wants to extract maximum from whatever little they have. For example - if you buy a Allen Solly shirt for Rs 1000 and it last just 6 months that implies that Allen Solly has booked profit on you. If you buy a shirt for Rs 50 in fashion street and you wear it for 2 years day in and day out..that means you have booked profit. Now that you have begun to understand better - let me warn you that profit booking is not limited to buying or selling. Its an universal concept. It is the concept that world thrives on. Some one once told - all people are selfish. This doesnt tell us much . But consider this - life is all about profit booking. This has a bigger range of appeal.

All dealings involve profit booking. For example, if someone is losing, someone else is surely gaining. In any deal between two individual or two distinct entities, profit booking is involved and everyone is booking profits.There might be guys or gals who might be saying "See I am booking your profit"but thats true as the existence of a red elephant.

So one has to be always on a lookout for individuals on whom you can book profits. Sometimes you might pay Rs 1000 and still book profits. There is a concept of partial profit booking as well. Its like not exactly getting the whole of profit as you wanted but getting whatever you can without getting into trouble. In some circumstances, partial profit booking is the best policy. The description of such circumstance is beyond the scope of this blog and once you understand this concept I might come back to this later.

The art of profit booking greatly depends on timing. Suppose you had a chance of profit booking but you dont book it. But then you might not get the same chance tomorrow. Worse still, someone else might book profits on you. That would be really bad.

All profit booking activites involves risk just like stock market. The successfull people are those who take calculated risks.

Here is a prayer you must say everyday.

Lord
Thou art in heaven.
Give me the art to book profits.
Give me the art to avoid being booked profit on.
Give me some bookable girls
Give me the shamelessness to say I never book profit.
Amen

Application of newtons 1st law on profit booking is something I will cover when I explain to you Newtons 1st law in non-physical space. That should be in next blog.

Hypes and Hypocrisy

Hype is not truth. A stupid forecast is not truth and blind patriotism is certainly not truth. What you hear in news is not necessarily truth.

In this first week of March, I was in International airport, Mumbai away from India for a few weeks and also away from Indian media.I reached at 12 midnightand had to wait till 4 am for my connecting flight. Suddenly I saw all television screen showing pictures of a girl.Then came information about where she had born and where she had studied. They even had interviews withher neighbour. I thought some girl had died and that girl might have beenVJ or something like that. But no !! they were talking about some SaniaMirza and she was still alive. She play tennis. ...Okay cool but why the news channels were telling us where she was born or stuff like that. Well.. I dont know... Someone told she will win grand slams. How do you know ? How good does she play ? Does she play good. No...she is just 18... People alway mentioned the age of Parthiv Patel for each catch he dropped and for each stumping he missed.

So I reached home and I couldnt understand why so much media coverage.Later I found out that was because she had qualified for Australian openor had won couple of rounds in Australian open or any such trivia which I didnt bother to know more details. I asked my friend ( who is a big fanof Sania ) - Had she reached semis of any Grand Slam.. No... Quarters...No.. Okay then. Remember the media coverage of Bobby Anju George...and howshe will win Gold in olympics.
Still for some unknown reasons, sports news consisted of Sania Mirza news and what Tendulkar eat in the breakfast. How Sania did a cat walk. Then came some Sania Mirza ads. I asked someone what has Sania done in tennis.He said she is young and has the potential to win Grand Slams.. Wow....futuristic.

"Watch Mirza in French open" he said. "Mirza out in 1st round" said the papers "but she has ankle problem and Tendulkar elbow" he said.

Do you know what is the similarity between Anna Kournikova and Sania Mirza.Both of them think that they are pretty. Beauty lies in beholders eyes.I would claim this is only half true but I wont argue with someone who would insist on the reply to be fully true because truth here has been relative. Here there is no much point arguing.

Do you know what is the difference between Anna Kournikova and Sania Mirza ?

Anna can play tennis .

May be tomorrow I am proved wrong. May be tomorrow Parthiv Patel can bat and keep like Gilchrist. And Anju George can jump 7 meters and may be pigs would fly just like aeroplanes !!

Sorry I just forgot about Newtons first law of motion and how it is related to profit booking...May be next time

Of Truths and Grace

Well this is my first blog. It starts about racism and truth. If you call someone who really looks like a monkey a monkey, is that racism or truth. Or is truth racism ? Just calling someone something aint discrimination. or is it ? If you call someone who looks like sexy a sexy, is that racism on all the rest of the people in this world whom you dont call sexy. Sorry this is confusing for me. But I think one should always go with truth. Any statements which just looks fake and appeasing should never be made. Digressing slightly here , have you ever heard about Newtons first law of motion applied in real non-physical life. Its as true as in physical space. Well I will take up Newtons first law of motion applied to non-physical life in my next blog. That will help in the quest to understand the quantification of ethical randomness and measurement of twisted morality. From there on we can go on the search for truth and chloroform. Truth is the kernel of life and so embrace truth.
