I was always amazed with rich culture of India; Its vastness and deepness. Before getting drowned into the vastness of Indian Culture, lets briefly divide the things we would want to analyse about the Indian Culture and the strong pillars that are holding them.
1. Arts and Science
Arts-
Aboriginal Dance (more than 20 completely different forms of Dance techniques) Eg: Bharaha Natyam, Kuchipudi, Mohini Attam, Kathakali, etc
Traditional Music : Carnatic Music, Hindustani Music, etc
Architecture (Business,Home,Temples),Paintings, Sculptures : Vastu Sashtra (Science of Constructing Homes), Agamas (Science on constructing Temples), etc.
Martial Arts - Self Defence, Theories on safeguarding the country or Kingdom, Research works. Some of the notable ones are Yogas, Silambattam, etc
Economics – Research on Economics, Various Economic theories or Books written. Some of the notable ones are : Artha Sastra,
Science- Astrology, Astronomy, Metallurgy, Mathematics, Chemistry, Nuclear Physics, etc were so much researched and have so many great contributions from the time immemorial.
2. Faith
Various Doctrines of Faith, Research on Human evolution, Options for Humans to evolve in a faith. Varieties of ways to attain salvation; Some of the notable ones are Saivisim, Vaishavism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Parsis,etc
This is so astonishing for me, as in the rest of the world there was always one faith followed in one country, but in India, there were so many faiths, thanks to so many great souls who wandered this country thereby creating so many different faiths.
Each of these faiths has so many great souls belonging to them that did so many miracles and guided people towards their ultimate goal – Moksha/Nirvana/Enlightment.
Once we understand the above topics, we could cover the most basic heartbeats of What INdia is all about.
I am planning to write on all these topics one by one and walk you through the rich culture of India.
Expect my next post on Various Dance forms of India some time before 22nd March 2008.

Evidence of the “4.0″ era—an always-on world where humans can “self-upgrade” through technology extensions—is already dawning and is being driven by the youngest generation.
Microtrend Analyst Says Technology ‘4.0′ Era Is upon Us
Though this looks like a great innovation, aren’t we avoiding the real life? What would be the meaning of life for future generations. Its just gadgets! This is such a bad idea.

Rabin-Karp string search algorithm – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I was looking at the Rabin-Karp string search algorithm. How simple he has solved the time complexity of this problem. I really like this solution. Hashing helps us in so many ways:) Long live algos.

Begin with the End in the Mind, But what is the end? July 5, 2007
Posted by Thinker in India, Philosophy, Religion.1 comment so far
What is the reason for our Birth? Is there a purpose that we are serving in this earth? What happens when we die? These are the basic questions that ponders everyone’s mind when they think of Life
Before even getting into that, we need to know who we are!. I was thinking about who am I? I could come up with different attributes that i have, but i couldnt come up with a complete fully satisfactory answer!
Some of the answers that we can think of is:
1.I am my name (Uh.. not i am not just my name its just an identification!!)
2. I am son of Mr… (oopss. this is just the relationship that i am mentioniong not me!)
3. I am a Software Engineer (!!! part of my identity.. not me…).
4. I am the aggregate of all the attributes mentioned above and more! ( No way.. i am not just my attributes!!).
So who am i? Who are you?
Could I say I am my feelings? I am my thoughts? I feel this is appropriate.. as any other explanation is either physical or an property of the physical being.
If i am my feelings or Thoughts then i die every moment (weird); As and when I am thinking about a word and as soon as i have thought about that word; its no more a present thought, its a past thought.
So I am what is my current thought?! But i not limited to that! I can traverse back to my previous thought; when i recollect some happenings in the past. So i am kinda past thoughts and present thoughts? But mere thoughts wouldnt necessarily define me, i only act on certain thoughts that i have and discard some of them; So am i a subset of the thoughts which are actionable??!!
Still this is a vagaue answer. Who are you and Who I am! Not sure. Not sure what the answer is
How to improve the conditions of Brahmans? June 27, 2007
Posted by Thinker in Brahman, Brahmin, India, Politics, Religion.2 comments
The current state of Brahmin Community in India is deteriorating. There is urgency now to fight for the upliftment of the forward (So called Forward as they are actually backward) communities of India. To see the plight of the current brahman community in india check this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=P7Xgc4ljHKM.
The main reason for the deteriorating situation of the brahman community is our very core value of Tolerance and Non-Violence. I am not advocating violence, atleast we should come out in the street and start protesting for all the injustice that is happening to us. Tolerating injustice as “the Fate” would no longer get us anywhere.
Some of the things that should help our community to lead a normal life:
1. Unite all Brahmans in the country.
2. Form a strong institution that helps develop our community into one of the politically strong and socially strong commuinity.
3. Form our own network that shall help fellow poor Brahmans in their Livelihood to give them Mental and physical strength to face all the discriminations that they are facing.
Let me know fellow Brahmans any other ways that you have so that we can help this poor community from discriminations and help uplift this community.
