What then if God is not there

-
We can't prove that God is not there. But then we can also not prove the presence of the God. I dont want to wait for either of these to be proved.
But there is one logic which helped me in deciding that "God is not there". If the so called Omnipotent God is there with all possible powers in the universe, then atleast some responsibilities can be delegated to God. But if he is not there, we should be responsible for everything. Even if God is there, he is not going to kill us for assuming more responsibilities.

Now that God is not there, where did this universe(/multiverse) come from? Who are we? Where did we all originate from? ? What are we doing here? Where are we headed towards? Why did this universe get created? Why did we get created?

I could not spend my time in searching for the answers for any of these questions for the next four years. I spent 1998 for standard 12. Then got into a , pretty much good, engineering college called NIT Trichy, India (previously REC Trichy) for doing my Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Many of we Indians are under pressure to get a decent paying job. So I spent the first three years of my undergraduation in studying and getting good grades and YES, I did get an offer on 16th July 2001 from Novell Software Devlopment India Private limitedLink

Then suddenly I felt free. I was free to do whatever I wanted during my free time. And I had a lot of free time. The stories of what I did in that free time would follow in subsequent posts :-)

Oh yeah. Once you felt free, the first thing you did is you wrote in your GRE book's first page that you should get a wife :)

I did go to temple in the college. But that was just to see what others are doing in the temple :-) And of course to see the budding ladies near Opal :-D

But I dont remember using Viboodhi.

Indian style Ketogenic diet

-
        Before even I completed reading the book "The art and science of low carbohydrate living" I realized how dangerous it is to have carbohydrates on a regular basis as the main fuel to my body. I however did not know what to eat if I got rid of Rice and Wheat. Though there were a lot of books, Articles and Videos about Ketogenic diets and recipes they were mostly from western countries. There were a few Intelligent Indians who had followed and written about their ketogenic diets and recipes. However it was not sufficient. Especially since I was a Vegetarian who does not eat even eggs.      On top of this my Wife who cooks all my food was crying after seeing what I am trying to get rid of. And my Mom and In-Laws also got to know about this and started questioning the validity of a diet which gets rid of Rice. My office colleagues also were questioning the basic premise of the diet. However eventually everybody started ...

Review of the movie - Enthiran

-
I rarely watch movies. And definitely I have never thought of reviewing any movie. But something wanted me to review Enthiran. Generally movies contain silly illogical things. Enthiran, being the first of its kind in Tamil, also has silly illogical scenes and dialogues. We should and can easily ignore most of them. Before reading this review, it is better to get to know the plot of the Enthiran. At the face of it: Saloon scene was enjoyable, though scanning the telephone directory just by shaking it twice was a bit unbelievable even as a fantasy. Dialog between Traffic constable and Chitti was good. Chitti surprising vaseegaran by saying he is his creator and hence god was a well thought out scene. Chitti looking like Kali after attracting the weapons was really looking nice. Train sequence was really titillating the eyes, though we should have expected such a sequence in the movie. We have seen such super heroic scenes in the previous Rajni movies and Shankar movies. Only here,...

Why men can't compare two girls seen at different times

-
Assume that a man sees girl 1 on day 1. Let it generate 100 pleasure molecules in amygdala(emotional part of the brain). We do not have exact measuring instruments in brain to register the number 100. An approximate image and descriptions of the girl will be stored in, say, Neuron Group 1(NG1). On day 2, he sees girl 2. Let it generate 90 pleasure molecules in amygdala. Now the man tries to compare girl 2 with girl 1. We have NG1 which projects the approximate image of girl 1. Amygdala may generate 80 molecules for the approximate images of girl 1. And we have Neuron Group 2(NG2) which compares the approximate image of girl 1 and the now present image of girl 2. ( Actually NG2 compares the signals generated by Amygdala for approximate images of girl 1 and the now present images of girl 2) Though, in reality, girl 1 looks more prettier than girl2 for the man, the fact that he could only use the approximate images of girl1 screws up the results of the comp...
