Why am i still lost in thought?
Everyone around, but still drifted apart...
Trying to find the purpose of my life,
Just pondering over it won't ease my strife...
Why am i still here, i evermore ask
Wondering how long all this will last...
Wish i could get the answers as lucid as i want,
But god won't pander to my innate haunt...
I have to go on, believing that he'll bow,
The life's dreaded purpose will one day i know...

Extraction- continued (part - II)
1 month back:
It was a normal day at the Rajnikant household. He was chasing a tiger for his morning milk. He then took a newspaper and started reading it. "Great onion robbery: 135% profit margin" read the headline. "What has the world become into?", he thought to himself. Rajni hated this, it was getting too monotonous for him. "Daddy, someone's on the line. He wants to talk to you", shouted his daughter. Rajni went to his room & picked up the receiver.
"We need your help sir. We need to find something and only you can help us sir." Rajni smilingly replied- "Its all fine, but yaar ra nee?" "All I can tell is that i'm calling on behalf of AGNES." And the caller informed rajni of the grave situation that had befallen them.
1 month later, now rajni was face to face with the tuples that would provide him with the answers that he and his dedicated group were searching for the past one month. He was now looking at the tuples with an air of relief.
All of a sudden, all the tuples blanked out. Rajni- "Tell me. What do you know about #%^& . . . . . @!***^%$. . . " But their eyes became completely filled with the sclera, all white. Its as if they couldn't comprehend the latter part of the question.
Suddenly, all the tuples got attracted to each other like the pieces of a magnet. They came together, arranging themselves in different dimensions, thus forming the CUBE. Everyone looked amazed, as they couldn't believe how so many tuples could form such a small cube.
No sooner that it happened, there was a loud thud. Optimus Prime came crashing down on the roof of the lab. He was holding Sam in his hands, protecting him from Megatron. Star screamer pulled out his weapon and started bombarding at Prime. "Get the cube, boy" shouted Prime (please read this in the same way as the deep-throat voice of Prime, for added effects). "Not so fast earthling" Megatron said with a resolute voice. The autobots and the decepticons engaged in a cataclysmic battle that would end in the destruction of the planet, beyond relief.
For once, even our superstar looked perplexed. He looked back, for something or someone to intervene.
"CUT. What the hell is going on? This is my set. Extraction is being shot here. Not some transformer series. Go on, all you machines. Vacate the place and take the kid with you" screamed Christopher WAN(noLAN). The transformers looked at each other. "Oh sorry. My bad" quipped Megatron as the transformers left the set. "OK people, lets get back to our work. I've got a schedule to keep up to" Christopher shouted to get the attention of his crew. "They go behind every cube on the planet, those dumb bots" murmured Christopher in anger. "I heard that kanna" Rajni said, reminiscing his days of being an Endhiran.
Normalcy appeared to return, but Hey, Where did the cube go???? There appeared to be a huge hole created due to the impact of the blast from Star screamer's weapon. One researcher points to this gaping hole and says "The cube's fallen in there sir". After hearing this, Rajni appeared to be running for something. Something that was lying next to his drawer.
"Sir, but that's just a pogo stick" said the researcher. Rajni- "Aama kanna, i'm gonna drill-down using this!!!" and no sooner did he finish saying this, he hopped onto the pogo stick and plummeted into the abyss.
Rajni reached the bottom, of the vast chasm ( hey, it rhymed ;) ) , but there was darkness all around. He couldn't see a thing, let alone the cube. Then something hit him. ( No its not the cube, lol ;) ) It was a small rock, Rajni scratched it and could feel something, something like braille. So he kept the rock in his pocket. But still he couldn't find the cube in the darkness. Now something really hit him. And he said "Eureka" and a small bulb started glowing on top of his head. ( No seriously, all he had to say was Eureka ). He used the light from the bulb to search for the cube. And there it was, lying down, the cube. But it had been damaged a little.
Out of nowhere, an oracle rose from the dust. She was beautiful, not like anyone you've seen before. She was Sampling & Heuristics Enabled, used to Establish Associations. Her name was SHEELA ( and once again 'L' remains silent ;) ) She spoke coquettishly, " My name is SHEELA, and these are my assets." ( Hold your horses people, let me complete!!! ) - " JAVA and Naivety for Identifying classes i.e, JAVA_NI". ( Wish i could, but you only sing the background score- My name is SHEELA, SHEELA ki JAVA_NI )
"Use the rock which you scratched earlier, and use my assets, to find untold pleasures eluding man" said SHEELA. ( pun intended ;) ) After listening to this, rajni removed the rock from his pocket. Now he could see some thing engraved on the rock. "Its a Classifier" ( not Amplifier ;) ) exclaimed rajni. Now he knew he had to find the distance between the Cube and rock to classify the tuples in the cube and hence find its true purpose. He used Euclidean distance formula ( Why?? Coz the value of p=2, thats why!!! ) He got the distance value to be 7.14142843. Something was not right, thought rajni. He was missing something. Something grave....

Extraction- Directed by Christopher WAN(noLAN)
"Oh God, the data is too overwhelming Sir", exclaimed a professor. "It looks like they're going to stage a protest", he continued. Another shouted, "There must be some mistake. They've come to life Sir. Its going to be a revolt". A calm and peaceful lab just a minute ago, turned into a wreck as all the researchers started running uptight.
Amidst all this tumult, one man appeared to be horrifyingly stoical. It was like he seemed to be enjoying every bit of this. Well, why wouldn't he? He was trained for such gruesome brutalities of life. He was destined to achieve the impossible. Ever since he was born, he's been credited with various accomplishments. Accomplishments which were else elusive to man.
He swirled his coat and with just one look of his, he could calm the entire lab. It was as if the person was endowed with the power of stopping even time.
No he's not a bird, nor a plane... not even Superman( Don't even think about Perman ) He's our very own RAJNI saar!!!!!
"Kanna, you forgot didn't you?", he asked a prof. "Yes sir", the man could only shriek. "Aah! i only have to do everything, i say" ( the sentence normally ends in "i say" lol )
By now, they were all over the place. Running amok with rage. They were DAngerous and TAinted Tomes, Unless Processed Efficiently. Data Tuples for short. ('L' is silent ;) )
These tuples came from disparate sources, but were shouting in unison - "We won't be controlled by you. no more"
The researchers thought that their end was fast approaching them. Even faster than a quick sort algorithm with a very less time complexity. They were all dejected. Partly because they were looking into the face of death. And also because they wouldn't be able to complete their work. The kind of work that would put to rest some doubts clouding a mystery. (Will get to that mystery later!!!! )
Meanwhile, these data tuples were growing in number, and it seemed like nothing could stop them.
"These silly tuples are like pigs, they can be instantiated millions of times and thus can attack only in groups. Kanna but I'm a lion, Singleton class, only one is enough" ( Translation for Rajni fans: "panni kootama varu, singo single aa varu" ;) ;) )
"Bring out the hoses", our saar shouted. "Lets clean 'em".
"But sir, these tuples have holes in them, they're incomplete. The water will just go right through them. There's no point, we're all doomed".
Rajni had other ideas. He just jumped, and from mid air, scanned the entire lab with his laser like eyes.
He got what he wanted. He swooped down near his super computer. There was a small drawer right next to it. He opened it and took out a blaster-filler gun, entered some random numbers into it. He looked at the tuples and said "kanna ive' entered the mean", smiling he took at a shot at each tuple. The tuples were now complete, making them vulnerable to the hoses. Rajni then blasted the water. Other researchers couldn't believe the fortunate turn of events.
The tuples came out clean after this act. There was a cherubic glow in them. They were truly Transformed!!! Now they agreed to help our hero....
"Time's running out fast kanna. Tell me.. Tell me what do you know about . . . . . . . . . . . . "

Compatibility v/s Probability
Some thought has gone into making this claim-
"You'll be the most compatible to a person, when your probability of predicting that person's minds' next thought in terms of space-time continuum, is non-negative and compatibility achieves its strongest when the probability tends to unity, but not equal to it."
Lets break down the concepts for better understanding, shall we...
Probability of any event is nothing but the ratio of "number of events favoring that event" to "the total number of events". For example, lets say X=>"Getting a head, after tossing a non-biased coin." Then the probability of event X happening, denoted by P(X)=1/2 (Since no. of events favoring=1 and total no. of events is 2).
Now, we've all drawn graphs at some point or the other, during our schooling. Famous one of course is the x-y plot. Any point can be represented using this x-y plot, i.e, a point is nothing but an ordered pair.
Now imagine, that we all are stuck, in one such plot. (We actually are!!!) Replace x with Space and y with Time. Voila, we got ourselves a space-time continuum. Here space actually is three-dimensional and time acts as the fourth dimension.
Continuing with the analogy, everything in this world is an ordered pair of Space-Time.
Let us consider human beings, for the sake of explaining the claim stated above. Every human being is nothing but an ordered pair of Space-Time, i.e, an entity or a mass, at any point of time occupying some space in this continuum. From here, that person can move to a different space as time proceeds, now representing a different ordered pair. Therefore, it is safe to say that the ordered pairs are always unique for an individual. (Of course, Two people or MORE can be in one place at the same time. Don't get ideas!!!)
To predict the person's next position in the continuum, lets get back to probability. We know that the total number of pairs that a person can be in, is actually "infinity" and the only event favoring is the one which is predicted, which is "one".
Thus the probability, P(Predicting next pair) = 1/infinity ,
=>P(Predicting next pair) = 0 .
Thus Fore sight is actually a myth!!!! ( ANOTHER CLAIM ;) )
But there's a slight twist in the tail. The World is Biased. To understand this, consider a situation where you know about the person, whose pair you have to predict. This of course becomes easier as the value of the total numbers of pairs reduces significantly(making it a finite number). Now the more you know about the person, the easier it is to predict. And the Probability gets a value in the range of [0,1).
Coming to the final proof in my claim. A person's intellect is nothing but an abstraction of the person itself. Applying the same logic of probability, one can say that if a person knows another person at a more emotional level, rather than physical, then the person can predict what the other person is thinking about, at any instant.
Thus, The more the value of probability, mutually of course, the more compatible they are. However, the probability shouldn't equal unity. The person becomes that much more predictable then, which affects the compatibility factor inversely.
So for a healthy relationship, keep your probability in check. Its all about maths guys!!!!!!

goldfish syndrome
Just a stroll down the memory lane
Is it a boon or a bane?
not too sure which of these is certain
A smile on my face, or a grimace of compunction.
To think of the things that I've done,
the stronger is the revulsion.
Once bitten, twice shy
but with a broken heart, unable to cry
For all that i thought my world would be
without her, its one bad reverie.
wish i could get her back, thats all i ask
to love her even more, with the same broken heart.
I wish she could hear me before i go insane
a stroll down the memory lane is nothing but a bane...

Humans- Inventors or the Invented?
This question has long been the bone of contention in my mind. Are the humans like the pieces of a puzzle, used by the sculptor called God, to complete a bigger picture? Or did we humans create a supernatural being that exists only in man-made scriptures, just to answer life's unanswerable questions?
If one looks at the way how humans have evolved intellectually over time, one can easily state that man has this inherent quality of questioning virtually anything. The interrogative words- " what, where, when, who, why and how " have been extensively used by man. We don't like something, we question them. We find an answer and implement them. But what has actually led to evolution is the fact that we (more often than not) end up questioning the very answers we once endorsed.
Could it be vaguely possible that our fore-fathers created a force, an imaginary one, to push down the evil that would surface in an individual. An evil that would end up maybe defining humans as a barbaric species, filled with nothing but disgust for its fellow animals. Our ancestors needed something that would check or curb such thoughts. That "something", gave rise to God and of course the varied religions that we see today, preaching the word of God. God then, is nothing but a mere figment of our imagination. God is that name of the solution to the problem that our antecedents were facing. Since then, the solution has been deeply instilled in us, that God has managed to achieve more than what he was designed for.
Now, if humans did invent God, given the volatile nature of our species, i have no doubts as such, that one day, we will question the existence of God. Our one time remarkable solution called "God", only to be replaced by another one. What the new solution would be, we'll just have to wait!!
Or somewhere above, in the elysian lands, someone is watching over us, foolishly playing with His Creation. Like a doting parent would, without bursting the bubble the child chose to live in. He is very much amused, by our actions and is very happy because we humans are playing "gods". I mean which parent won't be happy if the child apes them!!!!
