Physical Reality

'Physical Reality', sounds strange doesn't it ? Is there a reality that is not physical ? You think to yourself; 'This could be one of those strange terms that specialists who come to speak on Chnadrayan or LHC might use!'. Luckily it isn't. It's just a complex word for Feynman's Red ball that does weird stuff. One of the things I love to do is to read up Physics. After being introduced to 'Advanced Physics' so to speak (well better than +2 at least) I have found it to be full of equations of all kind. You want to model a pendulum swinging or a coconut falling, you just make a few (or a lot sometimes :) ) assumptions, then write down equations which deals with whatever quantities you want and try to solve them and what they say. Looking at this, it is quite tempting to say that solving equations is physics. Even I did think that for a while. But now what I've started to think (might be wrong though) is that equations just summarize a pictu...

To have a kid or Not to have a kid

I'm in one of the most confusing situations of my life, whose details I can't sadly disclose. After spending many a sleepless night and in the bed I can safely say I don't have any idea what is going to happen or how it might happen. Faint pictures of what I have to do are emerging, again I'm not too sure on any of them. As unlikely as it is , I just hope others parties involved come up with a solution before I do and stick it in my face :) And hope is a powerful thing. Another thing is, having looked at the situation quite a bit I realized that as ironic as it is, the whole situation is very similar to having a kid. In some aspects of the situation, I can say with confidence that I am able to see things with reasonable clarity and have an idea (wrong it might be!) of what to do. Does it ring any bells with knowing what your kid is doing is not right but you let them do it anyway because of the below stated; a) you love them b) they won't probably listen to you...
