An Answer to the Question: "What is Enlightenment?", by Immanuel Kant Konigsberg in Prussia, 30th September, 1784. Immanuel Kant (April 22, 1724 – February 12, 1804), was a German philosopher and scientist (astrophysics, mathematics, geography, anthropology) from East Prussia. Kant is generally considered one of the greatest and most influential thinkers of modern Europe and the last major philosopher of the Enlightenment. Immanuel Kant is one Philospher that always amazed me... this is an article straight out of his mouth.. .. no contribution to this from my side.. Enlightenment is man's release from his self-incurred tutelage. Tutelage is man's inability to make use of his understanding without direction from another. Self-incurred is this tutelage when its cause lies not in lack of reason but in lack of resolution and courage to use it without direction from another. Sapere aude! "Have courage to use your own reason!" - that is the motto of enlightenment...

To Anita, My Dear Friend, who wanted me to write about Faith! Its one word all of us feel tabooed to speak about, yet deeply posses it, guard it, cherish it, that’s the magic of faith! What the heck? I am not “faith” fella/felle. Faith is for the Religious Joe / the sadhu / the mullah….or whatever, you get the idea right? The reason, I suppose most of us refrain from being faithful ( !@#$ ) in acknowledging the “faith” thingie is, the fear of losing! What if faith is lost? That very thought shakes the damm faith in ourselves and hence…. para 1 > If we step aside from the “religious” connotation of faith, then the whole world opens to the mystical platform no 9 ¾ (Nine and Three Quarters), or you can go deep through the Alice’s world down the rabbit hole…. Trust me (can say have faith) and I will take you deep down that way. To start with, let’s do the God thingie first! I define faith as “ F orgetting A ll, I T rust H im”. Hmm, when the impossible stares in our face, and then we su...

Two very different words, the former meaning freedom, and the later being tied ( wired ). Bring both together and; wow! You are in the world of infinite possibities…in the wired (connected) world, you can go full throttle ( unplugged ). Just wonder the number of possibilities that we can do in this unplugged state… online dating, virtual conferencing, cyber romance, heard some new innovation – simulated cyber sex…ahem! ( Arjun…did you hear that?), and for more useful things… everything available at the touch of a button. This is something that just happened, Boss says, I am out in the afternoon – it’s my birthday – now I can’t blame myself for not remembering his b’day – I don’t remember most girls b’day, and he is my 7th boss in my small 5 yrs of work across 3.5 companies (0.5 company – will write about that some time later). He will be out in 1.5 hours from now..and bah…my office just a light year away from civilization – we are the species “ Workerica Intellectualica ” and are in a...

Ever wondered why the pointy haired guy in Dilbert earned a million bucks, and why the not working fatso, writing blogs like this gets paid… Let’s define the management species Type 1 – The Gyan Givers This type typically alternates between animated mysticism & uncharacteristic forthrighted ness, armed with a plethora of facts and events that they can twist and mould so subtly, to their advantage, that you will swear by hell, that it’s the coolest place to go, and bet your purse on it. These guys when they work, (assuming they will occasionally to undo the ill feeling of being obsessively paid) come with strategies and thought processes that are ahead of time, and you would be surprised, how on EARTH they could do this – You see, their strength is their power to think, and the ability to interpret the “thinking” in words – They earn their worth by one simple great idea, one per year (if passive) and one per Quarter (if aggressive). Generally 100% original Type 2 – The Gyan Inter...

Power of Love? Creeps – Johnnyboy is on another emotional infringement. Well, we always hear what all ‘love can do’ …the lots of good times, the emotional highs, the sheer pleasure of feeling wanted. How many of these feelings inspired many a poet, many a film, many a tear (of course of joy). Well, while how wonderful these feelings can be, I was thinking how “Un-Wonderful” the same – when one chooses NOT to love, and here are some uneventful that eventually happen. Reason replaces forgiveness - when you choose to love – you overlook even the greatest stabs, every actions demands a reason and the ulterior motive and intent comes to the test History Replaces Future – This is the worst thing; while in love, one always looks ahead into a glorious future, and when one chooses not to love, the skeletons come out of Hades and the smallest mis-endeavors come to the surface – stinking history. Extra time replaces no time – Gain in time, gain in pain; the curliest of paradoxes, for once ppl ...

I was browsing some site a few days ago, and read about some famous author who wrote s a smalls tory without using the letter 'e'. The first thought that hit my lil head today morning is - What does it entail to write something like that...why...what..and decided, I will pen down my own one - A small composition without the letter 'e'. Here it is... This is a grill to my writing skills. Writing that which is rational and solitary, but containing a quantitiy of wisdom - without using that sugary unit, which commands a rightful position in all words that is built. ....and it is all an ongoing paranoia, to push traditional limits of usual norms, thinking to fly, to lofty summits - or should I say, bury my skull in untaught pain to script a tiny stupid composition similar to this - to confirm WHAT? This is the thought for this day that wish to go away with - Many unknown lands wait for our footing, for a ray of light that - only an individual that confronts limits arbitaril...

There is a small lil calendar on my desk, which has a thought for a day. – Today’s thought – “Love and Trust are inseparable. You can’t have one without the other. Like always, I choose to rebel against every thought. My basic Motto – " Rebel against every thought - and when you rebel against every thought, every system, what is eventually left is what works –and probably what’s true – even if it sounds horrendous” - Anyways coming to the thought – Can I not really trust without loving? Ah!...straight away..what the heck (!@@#$!) is trust ? Simply put, (of course after managing to grey a few more of my remaining black hair….) – Its not exactly worrying too much about crossing the T’s and ensuring you RUST (rest?) your ass, leaving all the worries to someone else; and expect that someone else to ensure that things don’t RUST – so TRUST . Hmm…not so early, before we can marry Trust and Love – (It’s the Modern era – courtship takes precedence over commitment ;) – romance over marri...

That sounds like a risky job to do. That is something I wanted to do for a long long time…Quantify Risk and create a formula and template to do the same…and use this…for………ya before you jump the gun….for purely projects purposes only. Boss had to suddenly attend a training, and I was given this task to reevaluate the RISK thingie that is part of every project, bid etc. … so after some good satisfying 3 hours of work – it finally evolved. So, I officially gave birth to the following new indexes to be used in BIDs. Criticality Index Risk Index Total Risk Factor Aggressiveness Index Allowed Aggressiveness Now, the best part, I have a meeting sometime later, and guess what… will be measured? The Risk of using these “RISKY Indexes”….. Can we really Quantify Risk? I bet ….we ……………. ????
