From Concrete To Abstract...

The other day i was attending a lecture. The professor said an interesting thing. There is one method of learning which is first giving a concrete idea and then making it abstract. So that people identify with the solution or the problem before they can actually relate to the generalized solution. Though its pretty straight forward and basically a solid concept as to how it applies to the different subjects that we study. If we take Discrete mathematics, the subject itself is based on abstract ideas. It deals with abstract ideas before actually putting them into practice. Though it could be done the other way round, it would not be as interesting and in some cases may not even serve the purpose that the subject seeks to achieve. i.e. make us think about situations in a generic manner instead of looking at numbers explicitly.

On the other hand there are programming courses which themselves abstract. From the beginning to the end. A program is itself an endeavor to conceal the underlying structure and simplify the workings for the user of the system. In that sense it increases the concrete nature for the user, but creates a layer of abstraction for the programmer which he must handle. But then to start and end with abstract things may not always be easy. Thus it is best for the student to start from concrete things. But in most of the cases the concepts required for the understanding is not imbibed beforehand. Anyway,.. Lets not get into how courses are designed. But then again, I liked the concept. From concrete to Abstract,... From Abstract to concrete... :-) ...

What do i have....

Thinking... just thinking... I have been doing exactly what i do all the time.. Speculating and extrapolating. Was just watching a movie. And there was a sort of diary being read by one of the characters. And what i could think of was what would i do in such a situation. Not that i ever expect myself to be devoid of such essentials as access to the www... But then i do not know what is the sum total of my life. k let me just sum up the way i live. Use an online organizer to remember, write blogs about what i do in life which is stored on servers thousands of mile away, ... if tomorrow is die. Everything goes with me, No legacy. Nothing to tell anyone what i thought. At one point of time i did think of writing.. i mean using a pen and paper. But then my own handwriting prompted me against it. I read somewhere recently, "its not about being applauded when u arrive, its about being missed when u are gone" ... I was just thinking how much of that is true for me.

The harmony of things...

Well i dont know about everyone. But at least i am getting my share of realizations nowadays. We seem to be taking so many things for granted and dont even worry about all that works. And what made me say that.. Well its something as insignificant as a rash on the face. I got some allergic reaction. And when its healing its making me realise how much of my face i use. Every action moves some part go ouch... :-) .. .. Well it at least i got the better part of one saying-- It takes __ muscles to smile __ to frown and none to just sit there with a dumb look on ur face -- Actually thats what i am doing nowadays. .. :-) ... (U can fill in the blanks above, i dont remember the number.. And dont want to get it wrong). Anyways if we extrapolate the idea. or rather generalise it. I think thats how it is in every part of our life. We seem to take for granted all that works. And i have seen an enormous number of people grumbling about all that doesnt work. It may be in their eternal quest for the perfect world. But then it does make the world a sadder place doesnt it.. So i think i will keep my signing off line.. Keep smiling.. :-) ... Take the world as it comes. Just lets be happy. And yes if u are reading this. Dont bother telling me i get incoherent. I know that.. :-) .. :-) ..

The meaning of the word....

Looking into the past i see a lot of places where i wanted to say something but could not. The reasons where many, many a times i did not know what to say for i did not know what the feeling felt like. After all how do we associate words with meanings. Its mostly through experience. For concrete things we can make a line and label things. But for something that cannot be seen but only felt, how can that be conveyed from one person to the next. In everyone's life there will always be a day when the they feel a feeling for the first time. On that day how is a person supposed to express it... How can we compare what two people feel,.. How can we ensure that when two people say some word, that they mean the same things. I think the most common feelings that we encounter, and the one most easily labeled are 'happy' and 'sad'. But after all is said and done. Everything is open to interpretation. People exposed to the same circumstances are going to have different views to the event. That may lead to them labeling events differently.

Now comes the reason as to why i am ranting about such irrelevant things. Today i just wanted to talk but i cannot because i dont know what to say. Or whom to say it to.... Anyways life goes on. Lets see what i get from tomorrow.. -Or rather looking at the time- Today... :-) ...

Touch of love

i wrote this poem a while ago... And a few people even liked it.. So i think i can put it here.. After all its my blog... I can write anything here that i damn please...

How could I know that I am in love,

When all that mattered was just to look tough,

I waded away the thoughts,

I strangled the suggestions,

That I could be one, so prone to emotions.

Then came a day, when I lost sight,

Of that one girl who had been my light,

In the Darkness that followed,

I wept and cried,

But couldn’t get her back into my life.

When I saw her next,

There was no pretext,

She saw into my eyes and said just this,

I have loved u forever,

And that was bliss.

I know I cannot but stand as tall,

And she made me realize, I am so small,

I cannot say that my heart was broken,

For I never had one to hear the unspoken,

I still live for the sake of that one smile,

That made my life seem worthwhile.
