Genes just are, some genes more so than others, and that is all there is to it.

Old Debt

2008-03-13T20:43:00.003+03:30

Today I found this in my wallet. I almost forgot it. I owed it to the 16 years old boy that still lives inside me.

And thank you Viju, without your help I couldn't make it.

Varian Chronicles - 001

2007-06-30T01:51:00.000+03:30

Squadmaster Varian Kloger had an uneasy feeling that he and his squad were under surveillance but all of his nuro-transplant-sensors were blank. This feeling was with him since they had landed in mb-31 sector and taking charge of protecting Eco Construction Unit. He reviewed mission briefing in his mind reader once more. There shouldn’t have been any major security threat in this sector. But nevertheless the feeling persisted. He transmitted the order to his squad to form *-chaos formation around the construction site. It was 17 hours since they have arrived. The briefing has nothing as to what was the task of EcoC unit except a vague notion of setting up an EcoCom station. And they didn’t show any sign of progress which was unusual in itself. Kloger was about to question the unit leader that suddenly it happened.

He couldn’t believe what his enhanced neurosensors showed him. The whole landscape before him was changing. The lush tropical view was transforming into glowing sight of what he could recognize as a huge ancient building. And it was not just visual; he got same readings in full spectrum, from IR to UV. His squad members and EcoC unit workers were actually disintegrating before him. One by one all of them were going off his sensors. He was anticipating the same fate for himself but all that he could sense was a resonating inertial vibration. And then the next moment it was total oblivion.

Quest for Questions: Part I

2007-05-22T17:07:00.000+03:30

One of the things that I learned in my life is that searching for the answers is a waste of time. It's not because they are unattainable but simply because once you know what the question is the answer is pretty obvious. So my approach to learning a new subject is to find the initial question that it tries to answer. One of the advantages of this approach is the fresh perspective that you get. Sometimes you discover that there is more a better answer or even the initial question is in itself flawed or short-sighted (I refrain myself from putting some OOP related example here ;) ) .

Of course the metaphor of question and answer may be a little misleading since it can be applied to many aspects of life. For instance, what we desire and hope for, all of our dreams and goals in life are actually just questions that we ask the universe that surround us (or to be more precise, the universe that at any given time appears to surround us) and those who achieve their goals are the ones who know exactly what they want and more importantly why they want it.

The Graph Called Life

In the first glance it seems that the challenge is to find a path in the Life Graph from vertex Birth to vertex Rebirth with minimum pain and maximum gain.

RE-DESIGN

I have done some re-design work for this blog (mostly CSS stuff). I have also changed the title to Krig-7B. Leave a comment and say what's your opinion about it (Not that I value your feedbacks in any manner).

I.N.S.O.M.N.I.A.

2004-08-09T12:24:00.000+04:30

Have I dreamed enough to sleep again?

I am awake therefore I can sleep.

There is no awakening. It's only a transition between two states. From one which is real in all its unrealness to one that we are taught to think of it as reality.

Past, Present and Future.

2004-06-02T19:18:00.000+04:30

By means of these three related concepts, we classify events of our lives, society and world. We mark an event by freezing the state of world at the time of its happening. In my opinion this approach leads to many fallacies that human kind is now engaged in. Can we really learn anything about a river by building a dam on it? Is it possible to study a dynamic phenomenon by stopping it? My answer is NO. By dividing the time into these three ever-changing slices we gain nothing. When we look back at past events, they seems to be inevitable since we cannot change them in any manner. By looking at the future we find endless possibilities. But these two are nothing but illusions since they are always out of our reach. What we have is present. There is only "Here and Now" that we can interact with. This is our stand point and therefore all of our world view should be built upon it. By channeling our awareness into it we, human kind, should be able to transcend our existence.

From The Marriage of Heaven and Hell by William Blake:

...
The voice of the Devil.

All Bibles or sacred codes have been the causes of the following Errors.

1. That Man has two real existing principles Viz: a Body & a Soul.
2. That Energy, call'd Evil, is alone from the Body, & that Reason, call'd Good, is alone from the Soul.
3. That God will torment Man in Eternity for following his Energies.

But the following Contraries to these are True

1. Man has no Body distinct from his Soul for that call'd Body is a portion of Soul discern'd by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age
2. Energy is the only life and is from the Body and Reason is the bound or outward circumference of Energy.
3. Energy is Eternal Delight
