P.S: Thanks to amazing webcasting feature :-) 

Elegy

Empathy, I thought was one of the strongest and amazing trait of Humans.  A loss proved me wrong. 

It is easy to empathize and emulate the emotions of  joyful moments, happy happenings and great achievements. The entanglement and the play of empathy and ego when you miss someone gone far ever is unique.

Loss - Irreparable loss can never be empathised. It can be just supported. It is truly unique to the one experiencing it. Even the daughter who lost her father can never empathise the emotion of her own mother who lost her dear husband. The depth of love, intensity of the connection and hence the amount of loss is so unique and cannot be measured or emulated or felt by others.

Setting the high values

Spreading the good vibes 

Holding on to that calmness

                even during calamity   

Living and creating that good epitome

                 to abide and live by

I see you in many forms

                living within each of us

We miss you everyday

               More and more on special days..

Continue to shower us with blessings and bliss


By Living and lingering in the prayers, in the joy and the sorrows, the great souls never leave the earth. They continue to live and bless in all forms and beings.

Digitization - A perspective….

There is always more than one perspective or way to look into any aspect of life. Beauty and the complexity of the perception drawn on an object, concept or by an incident depends on many factors including creativity of the on-looker, epigenetics and the genes,and many others. It is basically how the mind breaks down the original information into a series of simple, easily perceivable data. The perceivable data, here can be different for different mind. Most often human mind maps complex concepts(every fresh incident or any new object) that it confronts into the simple terminologies in its known regime. Best demonstrations are the ambiguous images found with two or three images superimposed within each other as in the pictue below. The vase or two faces gets read by the mind depending on its caliber.

This blog is one such mapping to translate some basic electronic concept into another perspective. It talks about certain perspective to the communication (electronics) engineering terminology called digitalization and little inception into another denotation of the same.

Some Definitions:

An analog signal is any continuous signal for  the time-varying feature(e.g)  Sound vibrations in the air over time.

In the context of digital signal processing (DSP), a digital signal is a discrete-time signal for which not only the time but also the amplitude has discrete values; 

In simple words, Analog signals are continuous signals; digital signals are non-continuous signals as shown in the picture below.. The process of converting Analog signal  into digital signal is called Digitalization(or also Digitization).

Human mind inherently does digital signal processing and beyond. It processes any information in digital format. Call it Maths, music notes or dance beats. Although everything gets illuded as analog (continuous) information, it can be zoomed into the world of discrete digits.

Time: We have divided the contiguous time vector into centuries, years, days, hours, minutes, sec, ms, ns and furthermore. As we advance further technologically,  digitalization factor becomes bigger.

Entertainment, of any form of dance, music or play. They go by numbers. Can you imagine dance practice without counting the moves and synchronising. Music is math, undoubtedly. Quoting the famous Tamil poet Kannadasan: All the music that the World knows and every tone that is made up is born out of the basic seven notations(carnatic music). Music is often correlated to set theory.

Sports and Games: Every sport involves math and calculations. Anything from throwing a ball with appropriate force at the correct angle determines its trajectories and the course of the game and hence the victory. The victory numbers including goal, player runs and has statistics, numbers and probability and hence digitalization involved.

Communication: Modern day communication is obviously built upon on digital waveform of ones and zeros. But if you consider primitive communication mode - human languages.It is interlaced pretty close.It is easier to understand and appreciate the beauty of any language with the inherent knowledge of numbers. Visualise the sentence forming and grammar as maths equations waiting to be solved.

Numbers! Numbers!! Numbers!!!

We think, Visualise and Speak numbers. I have this habit of framing running sentences with three actions which gives rhythm while reading; thrill while writing and interesting as big picture.

Although the above mentioned and many more of the day-to-day activities/learnings/experiences seem like continuously woven action, it is basically the graph of series of discrete events marked against time in the scale of lowest order of time known.And human mind is digitalizer, at it best.

Spiritual Philosopher!!

God as obscure object; questionable subject enforced ritual and beautiful feeling has entered into my little ones life.  I have tried  not to be forceable on the subject yet have made possible steps to promote the enchanting ideas believing in an higher conscience.
His attractions towards have God have had many ups and downs. But the recent questions and mode of thinking is very thought provoking. In general, Nature has made him a great thinker.
How questions makes me think he is budding scientist/Engineer.  But his Why questions are making me go crazy.
He had questions as these in various situations.

Why does the tree grow?? (This was clearly not a How question)

For him, King and God are one for the way their style of dressing.

Why God does not talk??

I told him. Stay quiet and you will hear him. After brief moments, he said he still cannot hear him. ;-) I said to myself "Thank God. He is still a budding philosopher"

Yesterday, when we went to temple. He had million questions on the God.
"Why is God saying hello". It funny to notice to the eyes of the little one, the blessing pose with one hand seemed like a hello.

Hail the king! Hail the God!! Hail our ancestors and their philosophy!!!

Ringing around the buzz words

Ringing around the buzz words


.com and internet are buzz words with my little boy. He wants to search internet for Cake recipes and passionate about cooking.

Abhinav got his first watch this weekend. He did the selection by himself. He finalised a red watch with Spiderman dial amidst my repeated distractions and temptations .We did not realise that it flashes light until we got back home. He was all excited about it until he discovered a small owner's manual with the Disney logo.
Somehow, that disturbed him, " When did Spiderman become a Disney guy?". Looks like the question was constantly nagging him that he kept asking that same question to my mother who called from India, his dad after he came back home and repeatedly to me. I was happy about two things apart from his observation

• the aspect that he could not digest or accept against the thing he had already believed deeply.
• the point that he kept nagging and was disturbed until he got a promising answer to it.

Finally, I had to breakdown the complex terms like acquisition to buying and further simper explanations. Adding to his existing confusions, there was this MARVEL logo in the package too. It took around three to four rounds of explanation before he seemed convinced.

The Best part of it is when he asked, "How did you come to know this?" Love you my boy!!
Then I had to explain that I had the same doubt when Divya aunty shared the same information with me that they went to Spiderman ride in Disneyland. He was convinced well "only" when I said I checked in internet also. After the double confirmation, he seemed completely convinced.It seemed that the word internet ringed the bell to change his deep (belief) understanding :-)
