CONCEPT of COLORs

K..To begin with…I’d like to claim THIS is an epiphany….Nice word..so I just had to do it….anyway back to the concept..I have to admit that this is not even 5% my thought….But I just liked it so much I had to blog it….Credit goes to Riju Mathew, a junior who surprised me(by just having any idea) with this idea…But all analogies n further ideas putforth are copyrighted by me..
The general idea runs that all the colors n visions in the world are just concepts….For each person what others sees is like their dream…You know he can see it but u just don’t know the exact image he has….Now take this….Consider I was born with a “defect” which makes me see all blue as white(we’ll just take those 2 for now)….So, since the day I started learning colors I’ve been forced to call white what we generally deem as white…For all you know I might be looking at blue(or what is generally deemed blue)….Now this might seem confusing takin an individual case….On a more general basis this condenses to sayin that no one sees the same color….i’ve been callin white what has been taught to me as being white and not because I SEE it so…hows that for a fun revelation??so whoever put names for colors had the privilege of naming what HE saw how he wanted and we just followed suite….so when someone showed me a block and said “this color is white”, it should have been just “This is white”…coz on the whole it seems like color is a very vague concept…but frankly I like the white n blue I see, so I’m happy with it I guess…

OUT OF IDEAS!!!

God!Blogging is tough,,,,I got 2 options..I could just go on about all the trips and fun we have or i could just think of something good to write and catch up with it which i prefer to do... But either way, the fact that in the past few weeks i might be the only one visting my blog is not much of an inspiration...lol...Anyhow just typin some stuff so that i dont lose touch..(in what i wonder!!!)...K anyway...Thanx for reading Shanker

ABCD effect

Now this one's more interesting. Discovered in the DSP class( for the uninitiated thats Digital Signal Processing), this actually is applicable to most of the subjects since class 1. Lets take an example i like to quote for explaining it. The name came up from the very same analogy. The ABCD effects shows itself i 2 ways.

CASE 1: Consider a Class 2 student who missed the whole of Class 1 implying he has no idea what ABCD...Z is and doesnt even know how to write it. For such a guy/gal(though effect is seen more in the former) , when a teacher writes "CAT" its the same effect as looking at a person drawing a hill. For all he knows there's a curve and a few lines on the board. All he can do is take it down, as it is ,and call it "C-A-T" as he's told.. This is case 1 of how we understand DSP.For all i and many others know X[k] looks good and surprisingly is totally different from x[k] or X(k).So we just take it down and accept it as given and call it as series or transforms....

CASE 2: Now consider another Class 2 student who did attend Class 1 but didnt understand a thing of what was happening. Meaning if he sees "CAT", he knows there's a "C"(see) , an "A"(ay) and a "T" (tee). But frustratingly for him, the teacher keeps calling it "CAT" when all he can see is "SeeAyTee". And when asked to spell out "BAT" he can find no letter from A -Z which can make it sound like that. Now considering DSP, even if we get X[k],X(k) or x[k], we have no idea what the heck its useful for. Agreed it might mean Fourier Series or Transform but so??? What could we possibly do with it.

CASE 3 : Then there are the perfect students who know their ABCD's , know how it varies and exactly how and where its used. Yup there are examples of such people in DSP(or any class for that matter) too...

Since if you miss anything in Class1 you dont understand most of Class 2, and so on to Class 3...etc. It can be seen from Mathematical Induction, which i picked up from one of those Classes on the way here, that whatever you miss in Class N, is directly the effect of your non-attentiveness in Class M (M<=N).

Anyway cutting the crap ABCD effect can help to classify all the students in a class...If you manage to classify any other group do let me know, so as to expand the ABCD effect.

Headache Phenomenon

Lets go with the not so interesting idea first. Aptly named by me(ya..not that humble), the headache phenomenon is something any student <= average in class has witnessed or experience. Ever been caught in class for sleeping, dozing etc.?? Well thats when it hits you. The first thing that comes to your mouth is "Uh...Sir(Madam) headache..."...And an automatic raise of hands to the head. This has become too transparent a trick now. Its time for a change. Try for instance Sinusitis..Works nicely and half the people dont know what exactly is the cause or effect. Or if you aint satisfied with that there's always Google.. Go on get some nice names for headache or cold and WALLAH!! you've got a perfectly opaque escape route from that outward gesture; And if ur lucky enough you can finish that hour sleeping at peace. Anyway this one's just a casual thought and many argue its just my imagination......

UPCOMING POSTS.....

Coming soon in a PC/phone near you are my new ideas.... Struck with 2 ideas which i have been able to name as will be shown, these two are the products of extreme boredom and an electronics class to attend... Upcoming are:

1. The HEADACHE Phenomenon

2. The ABCD.. Effect

(Please forgive the delay as net access rate is low)

Back Again...

Back to classes atlast, thought this time we'd make a change and start studying a bit...But its true how they put it "Life doesn't give a guy a second chance"....I mean...comon what else can be said if the situatuin is like this : Out of the 6 subjects we got atleast 4 of them require us to be properly acquainted with SS or Signals and Systems and i can guarantee you that its not one of the most enjoyable subjects in our department......


OH!!ya..Speakin of which.Here's a good one..We got 3 electives in our branch this year,2 of which lack faculty...Thats a good one...So now we got just one core elective which by itself is an oxymoron...


Anyway back to this time's subjects there's one which requires about 4 prerequisites all of which dont exactly make me glad i'm in ECE. So with 1 to 4 and 4 to 1 its like one of those complex mappings which seem so trivial compared to whats incoming now.
And then there's another subject in which half-way through the first class i wondered whether i had registered for the right one. You know like one of those instances where you switch on a channel thinking its the news and halfway through, you realise its totally useless crap!!!(Instance courtesy:Deepak Mohan)...

DWELLING ON DIMENSIONS

It has been brought to my notice that one of the laws of mine which always joke around with seems to be something to muse about..So here for the first time in writing and in an attempted maximum clarity is Shanker's Law of Dimensions and Shanker's Time Dimension Theorum

1.Without any scientific or complicated experiments,the first law can be observed to be seen throughout the world.
According to the(my),
Law of Dimensions:- When moving through any dimension a dimension of lower order is also traversed.
For Clarity: When moving in 2-d we know that 2 one-d motions are followed.Hence the x and y axises.Similarly it is observed for 3-d,where three 2-ds and three 1-ds are followed.Anyhow the number of lower dimensions traversed is irrelevant.
So if you will accept the above law from everyday observations,we can derive the Time Dimension Theorum.

2.I do not try to prove whether time is a dimension or not.But assuming that it is, then it can be stated that time cannot be the fourth dimension as is disputed. Follow this..... As mentioned above when any dimension of order n is moved along ,then n-1,n-2 etc are also moved along. Any motion in space or in 1-d cannot take place without a corresponding displacement of time since otherwise concepts of acceleration,velocity etc. will become obsolete. But we can also see that,(not considering any other complex dimensions),we will always move through time(aging,rusting etc..) without a necessary movement in any of the other dimensions.So for simplicity of following a generalized observed tendency it would be sensible and convenient to assume Time as the ZERO-th dimension for future references,or to shift all dimensions above time.

WEIRDO ME -part 1,

I hate to boast but i'm a really weird guy...Here are some things which trigger(in me) some un-explainable sort of lingering dejection..
1. Absence of mobile range
2. Speech to text converters
3. MSN messenger
4. Lizards(ah!yes..those beautifully creepy creatures)
5. Space(up there) and anythin related to it
6. ((more to follow as i remember))

But come to think of it i thought it would be more apt to explain the un-explainable by naming it something...And funnily the name that i felt weirdly suitable when it hit me(the feeling) is Hoglywoop...I guess it all depends on the person a lot, coz for me this is exactly what a hogly woop has the scope of feeling like..I guess it could be called anything else but i'm goin to stick to this..
Hoglywoop(Ho - glee - woo-p) : a weird feeling which has often been described as butterflies in your stomach(which is hard to imagine(for us) and harder still to carry out(for the butterflies).-usually when waitin expactantly for a result,when ur dream girl/guy passes by,nervous and any other feeling which cant be described.

DAY 0 in S'pore

What was supposed supposed to b a pretty much peaceful trip ended on a not-so-great note.Uneventful and comfortable flights,perfect check-outs but an irritatingly long and unexpectedly compicated check-in at Singapore..Landin at singapore at 8pm(Singapore time) on a perfectly sunny day(which i'm assuming it was for the sake of a professional touch);just steps away from a routine baggage claim and a happy re-union when WHAM!!.Bad-luck would rear itself in the form of a highly irritatin ICA(Immigration n Checpoints Authority)lady and a badly informed immigrant - ME.'Lady',i use coz if she hadnt been so annoyin n imposin she actually cud hav been one.Maybe she just had a bad day or had problems at home but infact I DONT CARE....Well you cant entirely blame her though..Here's my case..I hav no idea where i'm stayin(so no address on the immigration card),thought my bro wud be "feedin" me(so no cash on me and the use of " " will be made clear soon)...Well in short seemed like a perfectli IL-legal immigrant...And lo! behold as true as they say "When it rains,it pours",, my fingerprint turned out to prove that i had lived 19.5 years of lies(or mayb lesser coz i dont exactly remember beyond 10-12 years and 1 day less in 2005)..Proving undoubtedly(assumin fingerprints rarely duplicate) that i was none other than....Gurpreet Singh...Weirdly I had also somehow managed to look better(atleast relatively) than my actual "Singh" identity...Enquiries,negotiations(atleast attempted ones),threatens(including immediate deportation) and nearly an hour later i was out,with a seal that i had to leave the country by may 22nd.For more complex analysis on this just wait........(well..i need time to think of somethin and you need it to get in the proper mind frame)..

RIDICULOUS QUESTIONS..

A question which affects every human being atleast once in his very confusingly irrelevant lifetime is "Should I or Shouldn't I" in any ridiculous order,give or take a few words..But note that this is ofcourse excluding the usual questions of How,When,Where and my favourite: Why?..(which i dont know)..So while you dwell on this thought and ,dedicatin to Naru who wont read my long blogs let me go on to ponder-"Should or Shouldn't I?" in any ridiculous order,give or take a few words...The result of such a question and execution of the solution can sometimes become extremely dangerous when funnily enough the answer tethers in a dangerously simple manner between Yes and No(again give or take a few words)...Pretty much like the cock layin eggs at the border..You won't know the answer until you get the catch...And now(once again) as you may all(or singular;i'm just being optimistic) have hoped,let me go back to pondering...

PURE CRAP

It really isn't as simple as i thought to blog around here..Although a considerably long time(8 hours) is spent in front of the computer hmmm..Sorry cant finish it with although.So a considerable time is spent as mentioned,still cudnt do any bloggin...Got some matter though..There would hav been a day by day account if it hadnt been for the above fact and also that beyond Day 0 and Day 1 anythin i could hav typed reduced to abt 2 lines.Unless,of-course, you don't mind the disastrous touch of me just typin as i think(which is what i'm pretty much doin now).But day 0 is pretty interesting(atleast from my point of view) and if i get the time..It'll be comin up soon.So till then take a break.....
NOTE: All this is obviously written with the notion that somebody actually reads this whole thing. If this is not the case then whatever i've written(and in-fact what i'm writin)is of absolutely no use.But if somebody is readin this then i apologise for makin you read this note and as a compensation i disclose that the next NOTE to NOTE is not for you but for those who did not read this and so through very logical reasonin i advise u not to read it..
NOTE to NOTE: Please read the article...And if your readin this then you must have read above which is beginnin to be very confusin and so i'll just stop this topic...

A WORLD MOVIE

Now hereś a funny one....Was sittin in ET(Electrical Technology) class and the sir (who thinks he´s really funny) started speakin about the fuel prices increasin and stuff.....As usual i started to drift and BANG!! there was an idea......Hereś how it is....It actually works if u consider the whole world as a big stage for some "Tryin to be the best with some dumb story¨ movie as we see in malayalam.....It struck me when he was speakin abt the OPEC countries and all.....Consider that the oil level really is decreasin...Some iraqi scientist discovers that and reports to Saddam....At the same time across the world an american psychologist realizes that the sudden news may topple the world into a time of vandalism and terror(sort of like the Empire endin in the foundation series).....So thios guy reports to none other than Bush....By some turn of fate(which i cant think of a proper explanation for) Bush n Saddam realize that both share some information very crucial for the world....the leaders then think and coughs up an idea to reduce this aftermath(This is becomin more like the Foundation than i thot).....So waalah!(its read with the exclamation..sort of like presto)..The US attacks Iraq who had actually volunteered to do so for a better world....Soon many great leaders are brought in on the secret and a whole fake ¨war¨ is fought......And all the people r ¨captured¨....Well those dead mite be the people who wanted to tell the world the truth and enjoy the destruction......Thus iraq is smoldered and lots of pipelines and oil reservoirs ¨blown up¨.(which were actually empty already......).....As more of the OPEC leaders came to know....With their great thoughts they too decided to volunteer.....And then iran startd arguin with the US(who happpens to be the main role in the setup)....Thus as the world watched the oil got blown up and all and prices started escalatin gradually.....Thus world peace is restored coz the ppl cud see evrythin happen and there wudnt be any sudden news.....Hurray to Bush and hurray to the OPEC leaders....Now if u wanted other stuff in the whole stuff...U wud hav options as shown below
If it was
Malayalam movie : ..U cud have Bush sayin some "age old","heard it before" knock knock jokes, or have someone fallin down when runnin.....That wud be a hit compared to the latest trend....There wud also be some ¨maramchutti premam¨(rotating tree love) btw...say Bush n Rice, Saddam and some girl(u can hav Saddam and some guy version too).....And songs too
Hindi movie : Lots of songs with totally unrelated raps....Some girl tryin to seduce Saddam wearin little or none(the former preferably.We want this past the censor board...Oh and by the way...The "some guy" version wont work here..U´ll just scare away the audience)...
English movie : Lots of kissin and sex for one...No songs at all...But really good background beats....A rocket chasin somebody and he jumps away(This works for all categories)...Lots of unnecessary missiles just for the special effects....
Tamil movie : An obvious Rajnikanth cast....The guns and missiles call for none other....Somethin to do with hairstyles.....Since fuel is low Rajni throws missiles.....He spits one into two usin an axe....etc etc....U all know the classic Rajni jokes.....Oh ya!And songs shot in exquisite places.....

Well thats all i can think up for now....Until next time.....

Chronicles of a Desperate Guy

Any accounts gonna come up can be classified as a totally new blog under the title of Chronicles of a Desperate Guy.. for many reasons...Anyway lets start with my crapping......

I'm BACK

Well here, i am back after a long break..Got a 3 months long totally worthless vacation..So its back to bloggin(atleast hopefully)..I'm done with the intros...So here goes...
Well in the midst of the 3 months hols i'm in singapore...And its gonna be a very borin nearly 6 weeks long "visit"...So from Day 0 here's how it is...Adios...
