this PETA thing.

There was a time in my childhood when i was an animal rights lover.Then i grew up. I still think that animals have their rights.Yes they do.But in this course of growing up , i also realized that humans have their rights too.So when i see a PETA ad/ commercial that says "would you eat your dog for thanksgiving ?  then why the turkey?" I only have one thing to ask them.."Did you guys evolve from martians ?" .I mean, come on guys ! We are freaking omnivores ! We were born that way , and sadly this is how nature works ! You cant stop someone from eating meat by using cheap emotional blackmail.I am not saying that PETA is not doing anything good.Its just that they have started acting like the NEWS TV channels that start putting up soft porn kind of news when they have nothing to talk about ( rakhi sawant smooch scandal for example).

Its about time that PETA started looking a lil bit into the deep multi-species shit that they are in ( uumm smelly uh) , and realize that they are treading a very fine line between being stupid and being completely credible.There is going to be sometime in the future where they are going to turn into a nonsense group if it keeps going like this. And it would be rather interesting to see how this is going to look like.May be something like this .

- PETA comes up with a new resolution that its not just enough that they have turned almost every meat/beef loving mallu and every karuvadu loving tamilian into a vegan (yeah..vegan.not vegetarian) ,and its equally important , in places like india, where plants are molested to their Nth degree; that they come up with some kind of legal protection for plants as well.
- To follow up this truly "vegetable" idea,
a. No vegetarian shall ever touch , boil , cut leaves or plants
b.He shall eat vegetables , but shall ensure that once he consumes them , he shall either make sure that the seeds go where they are supposed to , and not the trash / the visceral post-processing units and plumbing.
c.If seeds are not eaten , they shall be treated like newborn babies , and shall be either buried near a well lit , fertile area (soil ie) , and not under any circumstance will allow it to be cooked ( jackfruit seed curry) or baked (like cashews) or be brewed ( like coffee ( or beer? )).
d.He shall eat fruits as well , provided he makes sure that for every fruit he eats, he places the subsequent resulting residue (seeds) in areas similar to those in clause b.
e.Drinking honey is not under any act.As long as you are keeping the honey bees happy. (This could be hard to determine , deterministically .
f.No rice , no wheat , no flour.No cereals.
g.America will now declare Pizza a vegetable in all districts, not just schools , to stop kids from skipping classes to plant their seeds.
h.To avoid confusion about how to make pizzas out of non-grain materials , please wait for "Organic Pizza Manual volume I".I can assure you that this should not take more than 1 year.Most scientists have quit their jobs to cure cancer, and have started working on this , since this is a matter of utmost , national and international stature.
i.Hummingbirds and honeybees shall be our new mascots, since they not only suck honey out of flowers without harming them,but also aid in cross pollination. (Federal law states that humans shall not try cross pollination with other species.But we really dont care about humans.We only care about animals.)

ANNEX : In the long term, we do realize that there might be a problem with people dying and all that with symptoms similar to famine.We do understand that this could be a problem for you humans.But then, in the long run, we are planning to turn monkeys into "socially aware" creatures as well.This means that they might actually stop eating "bananas" and start eating some of the other things that they dont like eating.This case, we all get to have bananas...Go bananas !

PS : This is a frustrated human being.
PPS : This is a frustrated vegetarian.

History with Math

A lot of people like math, and more than an equal total of people hate it. Not because math sucks or is insignificant in your life.It is pretty significant. Its a way of measuring how things work , and putting it down on paper. Its almost like reprogrammable logic if you will

But enough of bullshit, lets talk why people could hate math..these are mixed with my experiences + some hypothetical / situations that i have come across in my life as well.

Reason 1:  You have an awesome teacher who keeps telling you how awesome math is , but not why.

Reason 2:You are a tamil brahmin, and in your family getting something lesser than a 100 for math is considered to be stupid , and you just dont understand why they like math ( they never bother to tell u anything beyond the fact that they come in handy for stuff like plan drawing, bank accounting etc..oh come on !)

Reason 3: If you are good at math , you were considered a genius, but if you were good at something like painting , you were considered to be a "good painter" , who gets attention only in his painting class that happens once in a week , and mostly that is going to be replaced by an extra math class to cover the syllabus...So math played the bitch , and kicked all the artists out.Bad Math !

Reason 4: It helps in getting your hands tired, and worst of all ,these things that you solve (like 25 problems a day !) , are things you don't even bother to remember. Math was all about practice from grade 1 to grade 12 and beyond..Not at all what a subject of such scientific caliber should be treated like...

Reason 5:  Its that one subject where you are constantly learning things that you dont see in the real world..visually ,its just not there .. remember integrals ? did u like em until they taught you how to apply them ? And that was a chapter ? And that chapter is only carrying 6 marks , and so u decide to skip it  ? Or do you remember the curves ? single lines , etc ?  You dont get to  surface integrals until you reach college, and mostly , by that time u hate math enough to actually not have any interest in anything they teach you in that class.

PS : Some of this might only apply / most of it rather , only to our education system..the indian system. I think its high time we changed it before kids actually give up on something as awesome as math can be.Its all about grooming them to like it , by using the right approaches. i hope someone out there gets the hint.

Insight

i have just realized that i use laziness/distraction as a defence mechanism to fight mental pressure !

Looking back, looking at myself , looking at my writing

My VR (virtual reality) , class is something that i am supposed to be paying attention in.However , since most virtual reality classes end up being presentations, done by my classmates , my mind has the tendency to digress.One of the major prop (read awesome !) about the VR class though is that we get to discuss graphics , and most of the graphics that recently enrolled grad students know about it Games ! The presentation covered everything from the latest final fantasy game to the good ol days of the game "Crash : Bandikoot". It was definitely a good memory since i kind of realized that i was really rooted to computer science from an early age.However i had always shied away from it , more so due to the fact that i found coding insanely hectic to be sitting in a place and writing something that did not make too much sense in the beginning.It was more of a churn than anything else for me.Now that i look back , i do not regret much for playing so many games as a kid.I definitely intend to turn this hobby of mine into a skill that i might be able to develop in a long run, that can help me create something better may be.The climb is pretty hard , in terms of its technical demands , but then its something that i am going to have to churn out.

At around the same time of my school life , i was also a self proclaimed "biologist". Thanks to a lot good stuff that my dad had around my house , i was pretty much good at telling a platypus from a duck , and a cappybara from a mouse , by the time i was 12 or 13. Though i feel that one of the major mistakes that i had made going to college and doing computer science , was in ignoring my interests in biology, i kind of realize that i was just the same back then. I had multiple interests , and i was never really good at choosing what i wanted , and for sure i still need to work on it.
Talking about work , another couple of things that need work are my skills at getting organised , and pulling it together in terms of concentrating on my tasks.I am pretty sure that a lot of people face this problem as well.However there was no reason for me to break out of this very popular mode until i realized that i needed as much time as possible so that i could work on things that i liked , and possibly do more than most people think or judge the popular time-frame for doing things are.I am glad that i am thinking about this , not so that i can be more successful or making more money, but because i want to do some things that are interesting , but yet at the same time , time consuming. And yeah , my hair needs some work as well. And so does my living room.Its a mess now.

I have never been a big fan of editing what i write. I believe that it needs to be spontaneous.I kind of had to take a backstep from this theory after a class that i attended today, conducted by one of the professors at the University.I do realize that i might have to start paying serious attention to any piece of writing unless its my under-read , overly narcissistic blog , which is exactly what i intend it to be anyway :D .

PS : Shows how unrealistic i am about life...innit ? :D

Distorted

I am not liking myself for the way i live my life. i see myself as a lazy,procrastinating , oversleeping toad with the worst phone on earth...
Ok, to get over the wierdness, let me explain the phone part first.

Amazingly enough, i have a record of owning the worst of phones / the phones getting the worst out of me..However may you look at it , our relationships have been pretty shaky.So i am not supposed to be surprised whenever a gadget of that sort i own decides to vibrate instead of giving off an alarm , or switch off /hang when it wishes to etc...So i blame my phone first !

Next . I used to pride myself for being a  " lazy smart ass" . I always thought that it is the way to be. Go lazy, take it easy and all that , and then finish the stuff i wanted in the very last minute. The part where i got it all mixed up was when it came to doing something that i liked.Now most of the things i like are done in the last minute too...This essentially means that my Graphics assignments get done on the last day, midnight etc etc..The book on rendering that i bought has been lying in the corner of my room for the past 3 weeks relatively untouched...All thanks to the lazy smart ass initiative going haywire. I need to stop it , and i do not know how .


I am not proud of who i am now. Really not .I need change ! and i need help ! :-/
