Boss had gone on for an hour now feeding into his brain and may be his soul. Accusing him for being a half-wit,incompetent bastard only for coming 15 mins late . This was just the ignition to the mammoth amount of anger with which hanir was filled
The problem was much deeper .hanir had seen enough shit in this life already. He came from a backward village zang from easter India.There he had to struggle working and studying ,only so he can get out of there some day and make a decent living. He took torturous journeys and never gave up only to end over here,In a 9-6 job with a asshole of a boss .He was made fun of by fellow workers of being low caste.
hanir had decided now ,he was going to quit this job .but he will not leave without his revenge ,destroying the boss.The vision of his boss body being crushed by the underworld spirits,already filled him with a sense of evil laughter.
Sitting in his small cubicle ,he thought about his earlier attempts at black magic and how his father had called him a failure for not being evil enough. His life had been strange,and he always wanted it to be same as everyone else" a normal life".Not anymore .
Hanir knew the procedure well .That night he left for the bosses house at 3 am .He drew the images of four deamon lords on four corners of his bungalow,then he drew the image of deamon god in front of his gate.he then precisely placed the lemons ,eggs of lizard and snake skin as his gift. to the deamon god last thing was his blood.he cut his wrist and blood came pouring out, the pain had been drowned in the happiness of this act.Tommorow no more boss.He cleared up all evidence.
Next morning hanir was happiest in a long long time,looking at his bandaged wrist .He wrote his resignation letter.and left for the office.Today he found little traffic .He knew change had come in his life.He could see the chaos in office ,his happy co -workers ,or ex happy co-workers.
He walked to straight in his boss office ,and lo he was sitting across the table hale and hearty.

Ignorance is bliss
The little boy sat on the ledge, wondering about the point of existence. He could find no answers to the questions that rattle his brain and heart equally everyday. The more he thought the deeper he cast himself into the chasm of loneliness. Ignorance, the greatest bliss know to mankind had long deserted him. However, knowledge offered him no comfort. The truth was a burden which he wouldn't have inflicted on his worst enemy had he gotten the chance to do so. The myriad of people who go on in life without asking themselves why, these were the people he evnied. Their lives were free from the questions that plagued him everyday. Acceptance, even blid acceptance, can give purpose to a soul. This acceptance is what drives people forward. He did not accept, did not conform, had nothing to conform with. He was alone, alone in his own world where all rules were breakable, flexible and even non- existent. But this lack of rules was not exhilarating. Constraints are the challenges we work against. We impose constraints at times to make life more difficult and challening. Sometimes they are imposed by society. Sometimes by the individual. The constant battle against these constraints and the potential vitory over them drives people forward.

The First great match
As he looked outside his window, it was almost sunrise .He couldnt believe he hadnt slept all night .How is he suppose to play well without any sleep. How is suppose to defeat Aman ,the national level badminton champion from three years now ,some one even his elder brother( a far better player ) also never came close to defeating.Whole night he was day dreaming in his head how he will win this tournament and go to national's and then become an internation player,but now he had realised he was way ahead of himself.
After finaly getting up from his bed ,he wonders what to do .He still remembers from one year ago his brothers match with Aman .Those smashes ,those rallys ,He knows he cannot smash even close to as fast as is brother ,and lacks pace,strenght and height . He knows only one thing can win it for him , its his drops .
While eating breackfast he look at his elder brother ,looking for some sort of confidece booster.
" why do u look at me like that and why so quiet " his brother
"well i am thinking about the match"
"ohh its today, " brother
"aaaaaaaah how do you not know ?"
"dont worry you will win surely ,more over i will call all friends from college to come and cheer for u"
Dressed in the T-shirt he had never lost before , he had reached the ground .This was his same place where he always played from his childhood .Because it was a final match the school had sent lots of students ,and it made up for a large crowd,plus his brother had brought a complete pultan from his college .He knew almost every body.The only crowd support his opponent had was players from outside .
The court was a open court . It was time for the toss ,he wins or probably the refree cheated cause he knew him well
"what do you want?"
his brother signals him this court and he quickly takes it ,thinking both sunlight and wind will be a factor and who will know conditions better than his brother .
The match starts ,its very close both are at same score and its 5-all .he keeps wondering wether to mix in the short serve ,knowing that his opponent will push him back in the court and from there he had no chance ,more over if his lack of strenght is discovered it can become a big problem. He is still thinking about this when suddenly he finds himself 3 points behind ,its 10 - 7 now .How does he break the serve.He decides whatever this next serve be, he will fake it long and drop it there only, it almost worked as Aman had bought the fake but he overkilled the shuttle.
The score goes upto 12-7 ,the crowd cheering has not stopped but he knows this set looked over
suddenly in this point he stands his ground and goes for a big smash on the line ,it worked finally he broke the serve , he also wonders why he hadnt smash at all ,his smash isnt all that bad also.
He takes his form to serve ,delivers a short serve to backhand ,smashes the return close to the net as his opponent tried a drop but was carried over slightly longer because of wind. The crowd goes mad .This is where he wants to keep it ,He take his form again to serve .Thinking wether to serve short again,he decides its too risky. He goes for the long serve , before he even realised the shuttle had gone past him ,the fastest smash he had ever seen, faster than his brother also,or was it the wind that made i fast. Did he made a wrong judgement in picking the court giving a already powerful opponent some tail wind.
He doesnt last much longer in the set ,loses it 15-8.
Time for a one minute break there are around ten people advising him how to play.He is just listening to his brother , also thinking how could his brother make a wrong judgement of wind,does he want me to lose .
Times up, thinking its now or never he decides to run for everything & Hit it hard .Since the wind was on his side now ,he knows he can serve short .He takes an early advantage 4-love it is .
he is running and getting and everything ,no part of court is unreachable now ,more over deadly smash gets slowed in the wind. he has a lead of 10-4 ,he starts thinking how his brother had lost in straight sets to this guy,now he didnt look invincible .His opponent tries hard but he is too fast on the court and he wins the set 15 - 10.
1 minute breaks again this time every one is slapping him on the back ,he knows he can win.
last set ,he knows if he can keep a close enough score till they exchange side he will take it from there.boom a deadly smash by his opponent.he just needs to keep it close.he decides to play short fast net game ,this is championship he is almost there ,its four all .suddenly he couldnt reach a drop .what is it did he not pick it out of his hand,sure he did his opponent hardly ever faked ,suddenly he realises hes out of stamina.This cant be happening he played every day for four hours how could he get tired under 25 mins.
another long ralley he loses out just because of stamina in the end. He repeats to himself dont worry about stamina now u have to push ur self ,give it everything u got even if u have to collapse, u got to win .The crowd is getting behind him have to keep it close,score is 8-4.
getting adrenallin pumped up he wins a long ralley, this is it the most important serve.
he decides to keep it risk free and goes for a long serve .boom another smash .what a grave error he knew a long serve would be smashed .another long ralley and he ends up losing.
the court gets exchanged at 12-4.this is too much he thinks ,he knows the importance of not giving up,knowing he was tired he knows he got to take his time between serve .He starts again quickly getting into same rythm as in set 2. He gets 4 points quickly to get score at 12- 8.The crowd is expecting a upset ,they are going crazy chanting his name ,he is almost out of breath and adrenallin is shaking his hands and legs ,this is sumthing he never expericenced.
He serves too long ,he had been doing that for quite a time ,just his opponent was picking it ,now suddenly he decides to leave one.realising now that for a small return he was taking such a big risk.With his heart pumping so loudly that he could hear it over the crowds cheering ,he losses out another ralley.he now knows not only he needs to win the points but he needs to win them fast long ralleys is the only way his opponent can win.Another long ralley he losses yet another point .the score goes on to 14-8.
He is completely out of breath ,he unties one of his shoes and beggins to tie it again ,he wanted air in his lungs .He had imagined winning in his head so many times,never did he imagined losing .It was unbelievable and foolish considering the opponent was so much stronger ,but now the moment has come he had nothing left to run more ,not even one more step ,this is it,the game seemed over,he thinks next year will be his.
He gets up takes his form again ,clears his head another long rally,crowd chanting his name,through out and out of no where his opponent makes a mistake hitting a smash too long . Over confidence he thinks ,thinking of it as the last oppotunity to serve ,he keeps it simple
serves short and win another easy point.he has spark in his head ,over confidence no.His opponent has tired to .This is has been fast and long he thinks.His body beggins to shake as if revolting against playing any more ,but he knows this is it .
after scoring 5 points in a row finally he needs one more point to level it up.As planned he goes for the short serve,his opponent goes for a rare drop ,hardly droping after watching so many good drops picked,he had already picked it out of his hand,this should do it.
but his legs wont move.
he dives forward picks it inches above the ground and some how manages to return it back over the net,just before crashing he saw his opponent swiftly moving forward and easily returning it over his head to win the point.
all was not lost ,the score was now 14-13 game point .He just needs to break the serve,its all or nothing now.
a long ralley he knows he needs to win it fast now,he jumps high and goes for a smash.
it ends up wide .
Game over ,he had lost it.still finding it unbelievable he lost he walks forward to shake hands .
all day long he had tried to keep his head clear of any thoughts it was amazing how clear his head was no ,as if he is just about to wake up .
crowd cheers for the young man , his brother picks him up on his shoulders . He tells his brother appolgetically
"if only i had more stamina"
"u played brilliant " replied his brother
more than anything else he was amazed at the way aman had played he didnt falter at any point showed no fear,he even didnt show he was tired at all .Now when he thinks about it he wonders if he was tired at all or was it just his over confidence.He had to sleep now ,as he hadnt slept last night also ,more over there was no more dreaming to be done as he had lost at the state championship only ,may be he give this all up .
aman had won this tournament 3 times now.He knew this is very important.last time around he had met him .never expecting him to be his opponent in final .never in his life he had ever been scared more of losing than today.When he made five points in a row with crowd getting behind him,aman thought it was over.He had no more stamina left ,seeing him move so fast even when tired had amazed aman.But more than anything else he knew why this was a great champion in the making ,he never gave up till the very end.He knew this was just start,the first great match of his life.

Catching Trains&planes
The first year of college was about to end and college gave us some big forms to fill in the details .I think this is just some formalty and dont fill it .Now the day of our departure comes, i wake up late, tarun and manish going with me are packing from 2 days,i go and collect cp1 marks ( avg -50 ),come back to my room and they are still packing .I put all my stuff in bags and pack in under 10 mins,these friends take another hour to pack i walk around saying good byes to all my friends.
We leave for train around 1:40 train is at 2:30.Stop at gate to sign out. Unfortunately my name is not on the list of students who can go out. I first request the gate keeper,then use logical arguemnt .Too bad he neither had a soft heart nor a working brain.I get fed up and start asking him to write my name as im going to vasco ,too bad its a working day and u cant go before 5 pm.
I speak to murliddhar, tell him the situation after speaking for about a minute he says ,come to my office tommorow ,maintaing my calm i explain to him train is now and cant miss .Too bad rules of college cant be broken even if u miss the train ,he says i have to take permission & girls warden might be in her office i can take from here
I send my luggage ,with tarun and manish .Take back an auto which just comes in ,go to main building,tell the auto guy wait here for 2 mins
This is the conversation i have with her
mam:why didnt u fill the form
me:i forgot mam
mam:u know if u dont fill the mess rebate form u wont get the money back
me : hmm (bang my head on the wall three times )
go back out the auto is not there, run to gate more in despair than hope .then i see this van coming from inside the building run with it make it stop &catch it and finally leave to vasco.
unfortunately i dont know what time train leaves ,so i dont know if im late already.Reach the station the taxi guy ask for Rs150 and thats all i have in my pocket.
Now i go into the station ,yoyo one of those rare days when luck is on my side train is waiting just about to leave
i find my friends and luggage ,now time to go home
(legend has it that taxi was used by my friend who lost is phone to go and register a complaint in the police station to stop his sim card, he blames me for losing it . )
(btw its named trains and plains because this kinda thing happened more than once ,even so much that i have nightmares about running behind trains and stuff)

sense of humour in artifical intelligence
One of the things that has long captivated me is sense of humour of some people ,specially my brother who makes me laugh with every sentence he says.I wonder what kind of thinking goes into saying goes into jokes how can u can programm your self to create jokes like these that too time after time . There must be a thousand joke books and i dont know single book which teaches u how to make your own jokes.Till this day im quite hopeless about forming any pattern especially one that works with all people.
So, i am thinking can Scientist that are trying hard to create an artificial intelligence,will also develop there sense of humour one that makes their own jokes.(the process becomes all the more difficult if scientist themselves lack good sense of humour).Now when ever scientist get stuck they take que from nature .How did sense of humour develop in nature,does animals also laugh around ,does the laughing hynea mean the same with his laugh as we do.With my little knowledge of evolution i give this explanation : Sense of humour is another way to show your smart,which helps u find a mate (dont laugh at this im serious) .I have also read that laughter is induced in you when u see other people faltering ,then your sense of superiority kicks in and u laugh.(hmm seems easy now this way comps can make fun of us).
I think the biggest problem comes with finding any sort of mathematics in sense of humour.My friend always talks about this traine sets that are developed to make artifical systems work,where any new problem encounterd is broked down into old training sets and at the same time training sets are auto-modified to even work for a broader range of problems.(too bad they dont use the the good old differntial equations,well the scientist might go mad ).
Creating a joke is one thing but understanding at laughing at it whole-heartedly,enjoying it ,is a completely differnt issue.Most of the time when i laugh i can see the things in a different perspective ,will the computer be able to do so or will he form his own ways.
So, i am thinking can Scientist that are trying hard to create an artificial intelligence,will also develop there sense of humour one that makes their own jokes.(the process becomes all the more difficult if scientist themselves lack good sense of humour).Now when ever scientist get stuck they take que from nature .How did sense of humour develop in nature,does animals also laugh around ,does the laughing hynea mean the same with his laugh as we do.With my little knowledge of evolution i give this explanation : Sense of humour is another way to show your smart,which helps u find a mate (dont laugh at this im serious) .I have also read that laughter is induced in you when u see other people faltering ,then your sense of superiority kicks in and u laugh.(hmm seems easy now this way comps can make fun of us).

to all my fans
"only 10 men they say has really understood what einstein theory of realitvity" said my teacher .
i was what 12 years old . I sat there and thought this is the kind of stuff u have to develop
something so smart that only 10 people can understand ,a pinacle of intelligence,it was probably a career altering day cause till that day i always wanted to become a pilot.
So,there it was my first role model nothing less then the father of modern physics .
