More About Me

I'm passionate about

Am amazed and fascinated by the universe. It is not known where the universe came from,how it came into being,etc. And it is amazing. Am right now,alive.That's amazing.

An idea worth spreading

Right now am alive. I could have been born in,say,1295,but am not. Am born in 1995. That specificity. That specificity of where I've born,to whom am a son,what face and body I bear,etc. is amazing. When you look down deep,you understand what 'reality' really stands for. And you realize that this reality isn't really a fact of the depth,but a fact at the very base of our lives. You realize your time is limited and interestingly isn't decided how much it will be. So you got to know you are alive. All this is weird and real.

Talk to me about

Science. I don't know everything and quite frankly am thankful for that. I don't care if one has zero knowledge about our world around,but I love those who at least have the hunger,the curiosity.

People don't know that I'm good at

Talking. Am having loads of thoughts,ideas and knowledge I'd to share,discuss and enjoy. Am trying to find a person like me,but there is hardly anyone.No one actually.I just want the world to be happy

My TED Story

There is not really any story of mine. Just a dream. A different world. Not a fantasy or a fiction,but a world with a perspective of a larger universe. A one large happy family. Not divided by religions,castes,ages,race and not even by countries. A world which strives to be as perfect and happy it can be.

  Aug 17 2012: Yes you are right. The simple differentiates with what one thinks. But try this,if we consider not the technical terms in a subject to explain a topic and consider are simply known by everybody no matter where someone comes from,no matter how much somebody knows,then I think we can explain anything. Like the way I've explained an atom. "There are things around us. Table,chair,pencil,etc. They are all made up of something. They all can be broken into smaller pieces.Those pieces can be further broken into even smaller pieces. But there has to be some piece that doesn't get divided. A piece that is an individual in itself. Then that piece,we can call an atom

  Aug 17 2012: Am sorry. You might have got me wrong. Am trying to say that if something is explained or known to its simplest of forms,then it the best understood. For example,I want to explain it to you that 'our thoughts are electrical signals between neurons',then I can tell you not in the simplest of words,but in simplest of it's form.I'll have to explain it to what neurons are,what electrical is,what signals are and what thoughts are. Every part of that statement to it's very base,to it's form anyone can understand. If I have to explain it to you what electrical is then I can do it like this:
  "Everything around us is made up of something. If we try to consider the smallest of the particles that makes things around us,then that particle is called an atom. But an atom can be subdivided into protons,neutrons and electrons. Electrons revolve around a nucleus in between which is made up of protons and neutrons. Electrons have a charge. It is a negative charge. When electrons flow through an element it is called electricity."
  Now I'll have to explain everything which I have not. Why do electrons revolve around the nucleus? Why do they have a negative charge? Why do they flow through the conductor?Everything. Might seem complex but answers well

  Aug 17 2012: Yes,you are right. The student is responsible for his own learning. Teacher and the student both are responsible for the learning. But that is not my real question. Am talking about the right ways of learning and understanding something,anything,not necessary it must be school or college. So,am saying that I've kind of found out a thing. Have you ever tried explaining something to two people and one of them understands it quickly,but the other needs better explanation. So why is that difference? Is that person not taking enough efforts to understand? No,I believe when I explain something to someone it either needs to be broken down to the simplest of it's forms or explained from the simplest of it's forms. Like learning English,what are 'A,B,C,D...'? Alphabets. What are alphabets? Things used to make words. What are words? Things used to make sentences. What are sentences? Things used to communicate. What is to communicate? It is to talk with someone either in written or speech form by using language. What is language? The thing used as a medium of communication. So you understand it fully,to it's base. When learning things like neuroscience or anything else,if we explain things from or to the base,we understand it.

  A reply on Conversation: Do you think one person can change the world? Can it be you?

  Aug 16 2012: What I think is we need the 'mentality',the 'perfect perspective'. This might seem as a wannabe or obvious kind of an answer,but it is something different than what you think. Religion is one of the worst problems of the world. There is no other life,there is no god. When people would realize that this moment they are alive,right now they are alive when they couldn't have been,they realize that there is something more important and significant to do in their lives. I mean to say that,when I say "feed the hungry",one says "ok,but i have to look for my own self and what difference can I make?". Imagine,if everybody saying this actually does think about the world,then there won't be 'alone' in it. Yes,you are right,we need a bloody worldwide movement and for that we need to inject that mentality. It should spread like an infection.

  Aug 16 2012: I think he meant to pay attention and contribute to public affairs than being individualistic. It is like we are standing together having some money in our hand. I have 10 rupees in my hand and you have 20. Now,to buy some food,I need at least 15 rupees,while you can enjoy some better food than me. My insufficiency about can be considered as my own 'fate' or 'bad luck',while your adequacy is considered is your 'fate' or 'good luck'.That seems to settle the issue,but does not. The ideal approach is that we divide that extra 10 rupees of yours and we both will be able to buy food. This is what goes in the world but in a much bigger and wider sense. Progress is necessary,but it should be horizontal and not vertical. It should reach every person in the population and not keep rising in a selected class of person. So,you can relate this to the real world,while the people in Somalia are fighting for food,the people in some classes fight overindulgence in food which leads to obesity and diabetes.

  A comment on Conversation: Do you think one person can change the world? Can it be you?

  Aug 15 2012: It is funny when people say that one person cannot change the world. If there is a necessity to bring a change, that they know,if one person cannot change the world,that they believe,they why don't people come together and bring the change? I mean,you know some change needs to be brought,I know that too,but we keep telling each other that we cannot change the world alone,then why not come together? According to me,yes,one person can change the world. It is not the person who has the importance,it is that person's activity towards the world. I mean,most of the people don't know who invented the mobile phone,but someone did and that matters. It doesn't matter where he came from,what he did before,etc. By the way it was invented by Dr.Martin Cooper,owner of Motorola in 1973 :P
