Brainy Walk

Any one using a Windows computer will know some basic features of the system, like My Documents, My Pictures, My Music, and many more...

I would like to share one of the nice feature of this powerful device, comparing it with our real life example. It is the "Recent Documents" which helps us to keep a track of all the recent activities we did, like stored a file, viewed a file, played a song, some movie etc...

Reaching office this morning, I was wondering how God carefully designed our brain, considering the smallest details which help us to remember things, keep track of them, and triggers it to remind us of certain events, that happened in past.

I was walking to office from my Home in Chennai to my Office. It is a 15 minute walk. But in these 15 minutes, my brain observed things which I was discussing the previous day with my roommate.

I was walking casually thinking how to solve some problem in the code, but No sooner I saw some lady, my eyes automatically started scanning her neck to see what she was wearing.(It was actually quite embarrassing for her ;) but I couldn't help)

Well, the previous day my roommate, from Andhra, and I were discussing how can we tell that a women is Tamil or not.

"Just observe the jewellery they wear," he said.

The brain consisting of 100 billion neurons, this was a kind of file that got registered in my brain in some neuron I call "Recent Documents". And automatically (without me, releasing it) it came popping  whenever I saw a lady.

Ofcourse, I got a conclusion that almost all Tamils wore Thick heavy Gold Chain, but I was more excited to know how the brain worked.

Tarbiyah - Process of attaining the Higher Purpose.

I've been reading lot of parenting stuff for my 2 yr old. I came across a terminology "Tarbiyah"(an Urdu word)couldn't find an exact English word. Though it has a very deep meaning in Urdu but to understand we can define it as Upbringing. Tarbiyah is a process of molding a person to be a better human being. It involves much more than just intellect, skills & knowledge. It involves a person's heart, emotions and his soul. Every sensible person clearly knows the difference between right & wrong, legal & illegal. A person not having a proper Tarbiyah though is aware, doesn't care how he execute work. His heart doesn't stops him from doing wrong, he never feels guilty, as time passes he enjoy playing mischief. A person can have excellent skills as a public speaker, a computer programmer, a doctor, a cop, a lawyer or even as a head of the country but if he fails to put his skills to right use, his Tarbiyah is not proper. Lets say, an eloquent public...

Chennaiyaa... :D

When I came to Chennai and joined the company, I wasn't aware that I'll be in the city among aliens speaking alien language, or saying in a better way, I wasn't aware that I'll be an odd one out. Like every fresher joining a new company, I was doing the same, greeting everyone, smiling at an eye contact, trying to befriend people. Days passed, I was assigned to project, I made friends but still I felt disconnected. The reason was, everyone around me talked in the language Alien to me, i.e. 'Tamil'. The Technical discussion also usually happened in Tamil, they cracked jokes in Tamil, and also laughed in Tamil. :P When all this was happening, I felt an urge to learn Tamil. I started learning with some basic stuff like counting numbers, 1: Oru , 2: Randd , 3: moonre , 4: naal , 5: aanj , . . . 10: pattu , " Unga peru enna? "(What is your name?), "Evalavu? " (How Much?) and my favourite " Teri Yaad Tamil " which mea...

Where the HELL did the Money Go?

First PMC, then Yes Bank, which will be next ? . I was wondering what happens when the bank fails. In the news it flashes "PMC Bank like withdrawal limit imposed on YES bank". . Well, I don't have an account in Yes Bank, so I was like . "Kya hoga is desh ka, Kya kar rahi hai hamari sarkar, Bichchare log". . AND that was it, I was off to my routine work, because it didn't affected me. . These are the words of a short sighted person and today in our country 80% of people think that way. . . Do you really think it didn't affected ME or YOU who didn't had an account in Yes bank. . PLEASE WAKE UP FROM YOUR SLUMBER because It very much affected YOU and ME. . . . Lets understand this with a small example. . Well, I am running a car tyre shop, you know right, if you don't here it is 😁 - Maniar Tyreworld . I don't have an account in "Yes Bank" but my prospective customer who just inquired me for a car tyre had an account in "Yes Ban...
