My dream guru - Potpourri. June 21st, 2006. 12:42 pm - My dream guru. I cant ask for more! I love Wednesday and Saturday mornings when i have to get up early, go for my music classes before going to my boring office :). She listens to me patiently and corrects me when i go wrong. And, after i learn a song in the class, i dont have to go back and listen to the recordings of my class to get it right, as she would have taught me in such a way that i wont forget. 3 Vandhanamu - Sahana - Thyagaraja. Before sh...

Articles on women: Feminist's views on Sabarimala controversy
http://masculinity-articles-women.blogspot.com/2006/09/feminists-views-on-sabarim_115781652270308710.html
Saturday, September 09, 2006. Feminist's views on Sabarimala controversy. Sabarimala, women and the state. Published by Neha Viswanathan. June 29th, 2006 in Gender. I am no expert on religion or the state. However, when a temple goes all up in arms about women polluting their sanctum sanctorum. It pisses me off. No point in trying to force a revolution though. To me, the issue is simple. Does the state (centre or state) give any funds to Sabarimala temple or the board? Is the government a board member?

Saturday, September 09, 2006. The cosmic glass ceiling jail. Hindustan Times, July 07, 2006. July 7, 2006. To call for Sabarimala to be open for women is like saying that women should be allowed to enter monasteries, or men should be allowed inside nunneries. It’s like saying that the orders of the Jesuits and the Benedictines should admit women, or that the Loreto order of nuns should admit men. A deeper question arises from the Sabarimala controversy. Are religions hostile to women? But in the end her ...

Enslaved by music - retarc. Oct 22nd, 2006. I don't know if it is due to the Ragam, or due to Thyagaraja's genius, but it was awesome. I ended up weeping, and finally crying loudly, before going to bed. Can you recollect a similar experience you've had? October 27th, 2006 06:27 am (UTC). Your journal seems interesting. Added you back. Evarani is a beautiful song, yes. I've had such experiences with some wonderful songs. To mention a few:. Naan oru vilayattu bommaya" by DKP.

Deconstructing Zaniness: September 2011
http://deconstructingzaniness.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Sedulous secretion of wry lapses. Tuesday, September 6, 2011. How can the history of gravitational theory inform modern day neuroscience? We've all heard it said before. Neuroscience is the physics of the 21st century. The vast ocean of unknowns lies before us, we've just learned to build a vessel, we've just learned to navigate. Let's unfurl the sails, go forth and discover new lands! In this essay, I'll attempt to simplify such portentous omens by first prying open physics and then neuroscience. He pub...

Deconstructing Zaniness: In-silico hypothesis curator
http://deconstructingzaniness.blogspot.com/2013/02/in-silico-hypothesis-curator.html
Sedulous secretion of wry lapses. Thursday, February 7, 2013. In my earlier post. About the big-ticket billion euro human brain project, I drew a laborious analogy between. The HBP and the large hadron collider (LHC). I suggested that to maximally take advantage of the proposed mega simulation of the brain, we must ask ourselves what are tens or hundreds of standard models. We need to look for in the properties of the simulator. I feel that the best way to engage with the. The set of future great experim...

Deconstructing Zaniness: December 2011
http://deconstructingzaniness.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Sedulous secretion of wry lapses. Monday, December 26, 2011. Science of the human condition. As 2011 draws to a close, here are two extremely broad BBC documentaries (and companion books) about what makes us fundamentally human. The stunning Dr. Alice Robert's The Incredible Human Journey. Did we interbreed with the Neanderthals? Did East Asians evolve from the Homo Erectus? Guaranteed to stimulate. I'm currently reading Bryan Sykes's The Seven Daughters of Eve. To get a richer understanding of the arche...

Deconstructing Zaniness: March 2012
http://deconstructingzaniness.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Sedulous secretion of wry lapses. Sunday, March 4, 2012. In an earlier post. I had brought up the contrasting attitudes towards what constitutes physics, attributed to Rutherford and Feynman, respectively. That which is not physics is stamp collecting. Ernest Rutherford. Physicists often have the habit of taking the simplest explanation of any phenomenon and calling it physics, leaving the more complicated examples to other fields. Richard Feynman. The blind men and the elephant. The gist of the parable ...
