Knowledge Base

Started wondering about the voulme of knowledge yet to be gathered. Lots of things in Computer science to be learned. It seems like trying to explore the sea just by sitting in the shore. Various different fields of computer science are (CS) yet to be explored. Being a part of an institution for higher studies, it is the order of the day that lot of things to be learned. I'm seeing a widely open arena of interesting topics which needs to be concentrated upon. Read - Study - Invent - Practice, is what i have plans to do. Firing all the cylinders to invent atleast a very small thing. Admist all these things there are real time difficulties for me. I have a good software configuration. But the hardware i have is not up to the mark.(I belive my well wishers understand what i'm expressing in these lines). Loooooooooong way to go.... powered by performancing firefox

Research In Computer Science

Recent days many times i have faced the following question : what u do as research in computer science ? People who asks this question has the opinion that there is no scope for research is there in Computer science. For the general pyublic computer science means software engineer who earns some big money. I would say that software engineering is only one part of computer science. Computer science is a huge arena. Lots of things are there which are still unexplored. I would like to give a simple example: If we have simulate some parts of brain (read it again that it's not whole brain but only a part) it is still out of reach of we the homosapiens. Forget about all the technical hurdles. First consider the power requirements. As per our knowledge brain requires approx about 10 watts of power but if we try to build a machine which would simulate this, it has been estimated that it would require 1 Giga Watts of electricity. So plenty of things are there which are still out of reach of

Illusion

What we see with our eyes need not be the same as what it is. The things that looks glorious / awesome @ one point time may not be the same @ another. Let it be anything ., So, it is THE MIND which decides whether it gives happiness or not. To normal individuals it requires something from external world for the mind to feel happier.But the real fuel for happiness is inside the SELF. Many of us would have been already read something simillar to the ideas that i'm spelling out on these lines.But the realistic meaning of these things would be understood only when ONE experiences. Tamil Legend Thiruvalluvar says in one of his Kural: " From what ever things u detach urself u are relived from problems caused by those things " The Bharathi also express the same thing in his Nirpahuvae Nadapaduvae... . So collecting more things (including Money) will cause more problems. Moral Of the Story Is : Please don't depend on any external entity for ur happiness. Be a creator of Ple
