Prove Disprove----

Got up just 15 mins back. Very usual and at the same time immoral for an MBA student. Immoral because every minute that I am spending here costs me tons of money.
Had a weird dream and so wanted to write it down before it vanishes from my memory as many other dreams have. So my dream, ah- and its only bits and pieces that I remember. Here it goes - There was this young Einstein sitting crumpled on a small chair was working on something. Obviously something big. Time passes like a flash and i see him again. This time in a different surrounding, but still working on the same thing. He was looking much older & Had piles of paper littered on his desk and was writing - erasing - re writing same set of equations, as in the earlier set. Again a flash and this time he looks much older with grey hair and more wrinkles on his face. But the set of equations he was working on still remains the same. I guess, he was trying to prove something, and considering his genius, something outstanding and complicated. Another flash, and he is sitting with his head on his hands and tears rolling down his eyes. A small newspaper cutting read - An experiment disapproves Einstein's famous theory..........all his lifes work was being questioned in front og his own eyes.
I recited this dream to make one point clear - There might be a theory that is valid in explaining tremendous amount of phenomenons, but it can be disapproved by just one single phenomenon that can not be explained by it. This disapproving is just an indication for a need of more valid theory, ready to be disapproved again by another single phenomenon. What strikes me is the resemblance of this with the human nature. It might take for a person years to built trust that would have been tested through time and situations and just one slip and pooff- everythings gone. And believe me there arent any exceptions to this.

Thats dream and thats life.......

Note: By the time i reached second para i was totally confused with what i was trying to write and what i was writing. Reading this might make you feel the emptiness of an incorrigible mind.
thats y - The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle

KISS!!!

KISS has always been the subject of interest for many management preachers and in a way, all managers. One might tend to think that why only management gurus and managers need to have a say in this subject. Isnt it is something that everyone has a right to talk about and practice
?
Ah... But its not the Kiss with a literal meaning of 'caress with the lips', its been discussed here in the context of ' Keep It Simple Stupid'.

Its become a managers motto, a management guru's keyword and a management students nightmare. But why does everything has to be simple when it was never meant to be so? Nature never keeps matters simple. From the smallest single cell bacteria to the most complex creature - from laws of physics to psychology - from --- to ----, nothing was ever intended to be simple.
Then why so much fuss around this simplicity. Its like people trying to find out reasons which in the first place never existed. Its the complexity of the things around us that makes us interested in that and ignites in us the quest to untangle the mystery. Had these been not so, there would not have been any fun in knowing the unknwon.

They will one day understand this (we can nothing but hope..) and then their obsession with finding simplicity where its non existent should b overcome..
The only thing that can be kept simple is the KISS itself (pun intended)!

Infinity !

Infinity, a word that can be interpreted in as many ways as there are interpretors and still all of those interpretations would be right. What i mean here is not the dictionary meaning of infinity, its the subjective meaning which makes this word so versatile that it has been used in very varied contexts.
My first encounter with infinity was when i as a kid asked a very genuine question about how big the sky is. What i received as an answer was, as big as your mind can comprehend - infinite, yes it was. Next encounter didnt come for many yaers and was a gradual realization; when i had grown sufficiently young and always wondered about the extent of unintentional love of my parents. Wat i realised was, it was as much as nothing can ever match. Infinity again.
And as time passed by, encounters with this mystery word kept on increasing. Be it in mathematics (1/0 or tan90) or psychology (even someones stupidity can be defined as infinite) or the time which seemed never to pass in embarassing situations. And Ah, not to mention the waiting time while i used to wait for my first (and only) love. Everything was now compared to infinity. The lines get blurred when the word has been used so many times that one looses the very ability to distinguish between its actual and implied meaning. Whatever, but here was a word that came as a rescue whenever my mind wasnt able to conjure anything up from the thin air (which again is infinite).

I wish i would some day understand the actual meaning of infinity. Why does some things have no boundaries, or is it that, its our inability to measure something and to cover that inability we give it a name of infinity. The later explanation makes more sense, considering the fact that the human mind has not been able to foray into many areas given its limitations.

One might wonder what does the diagram of Golden Ratio has to do with this topic. One is, that it was talked very much in conjunction with infinity then and other being that diagram just somewhere gives a feeling of endlessness - an endlessness of ones quest for knowledge, an endlessness for life's surprises and an endlessness for endlessness.

Infinity it is and infinite it will be!!!

Expressed Relativity

Even time is not absolute. These are not the exact words of Einstein, but is the crux of his Theory of Relativity. This is a statement that has been well tested and if not, then atleast universally accepted. Logically, the relativity of time does make sense, where in its the observer's reference frame that decides how he measures time. What if this was to hold good for everything without any exception (as physics and chemistry is nothing but exceptions stated in a structured form)? Nothing then would have been absolute - Nothing.
And ART might be one of the victims of this theory. What makes an art form so widely famous and accepted is not its inherent quality. It rather is the relative perception it creates in the minds of the people- relative to some pre held perception. For instance the Expressionistic art form prevalent in the early 90s became so famous as the people perceived it better than the existing art form and to some other reference. what makes this more complicated is the fact that many art forms which could have been great could not be adopted or received the right recognition , just because of the RELATIVITY.
Aargh-- Its either that i am losing my cognitive abilities (obviously relatively) or its this odd time of 2 in early morning (again relative), thats taken a toll on my writing.
The very famous picture above - 'The Scream' by Munch, describes the very state of my mind.

Not to mention that the description is RELATIVE.

What Matters!

Claude Monet - The father of Impressionism.
The picture here is the 'Women With Parasol' painted by him in 1875.
The center one is the original one and the rest are color edited, to show different times of the day. What actually is the subject for any painter or any viewer per say? The Object or the Color? The composition is same here but what changes is the color, a representation of different times and moods and is the real subject.
Its striking similarity to human psychology makes it an interesting phenomenon. The person remains the same but what people perceive of him is the circumstances in which he is perceived at. He never is the object, circumstances are..
I have no idea why have i written this, because philosophically this does not any sense..
Ah! And to add, this picture remind me of two people very important in my life. The lady with the parasol has distinguished calmness and strength, and even if the colors / circumstances change, the very characteristics of the Object (no object) remains and rather look more pronounced in the gloomy background - A PILLAR OF CONSISTENCY. & the SOOTHING CALMNESS... two very important people..
Did Monet have same feelings while painting this picture? Who Knows and What Matters!!

Grey Eyed

John Virtues one of the masterpieces. He was a monochromatic artist and only drew in grey scale; as he argued that black gives him the opportunity to invent and re-invent, which colors might not be able to give. When looked at carefully this piece is a reproduction of late eighties or early nineties London and be it the contours of the cloud or the subtly depicted buildings, all looks fabulous in black and white.
Here is an attempt to see if the same was done through some colors. The contours look more pronounced and it somewhere reflects a time between early dawn and late night. Obviously John would have hated this, but colors at times complements the black and white.

Ferocious Art

Nature has always been the first choice for Artists.
What makes nature so sought after is its 'Naturalness' (is that even a word!)
Men long back realised that competing with nautre is not an option and thus embarked upon a journey to recreate it..

Here is a futile effort to show how technology helps in altering the "Naturalness" of the nature.. A better reproduction of nature or an ugly art...
