Anticipation

Alright, so I promised another blog in the month of February and I am keeping it. Though I don't really know how many are even following my blog anyway. If only there was a way to let me know, like writing comment/critiques. So, if you are reading it, do leave a comment, you lazy asses.

Anticipation, something we undergo on a regular basis. Some of them are little things and some are big ones, like an up coming interview or game(for athletes) or a date or a presentation or an audition(for actors and actresses) etc. You make all the preparations, study well for the interview, practice hard for the game, groom yourself for the date etc. As the moment starts closing in, the nerves come in, a lot of things run through your mind, like what will happen, you start ANTICIPATING, what if this happens, what if that happens, etc and when the big day finally arrives you could even break a sweat on a 20 degree weather.

After the event begins, it can go two ways (1) the nerves could continue, your mind could still be thinking a lot and everything could go south or (2) you stop thinking, fall in sync, enter into a zone, nothing except the task at hand matters, you perform better than you knew you can and everything goes better than you anticipated. If it goes the first way, well there ain't much you can do but suffer through it. But if it goes the later way, hmmmm, its such an amazing feeling, you can't put it in words. After the event is over, then you think about it, you run it over and over again in your head, thinking about the great answers you gave, the perfect plays you made, how charming you were, how well you demonstrated etc.

At the end...........

huh, I dont know how to end this blog. I am a little lost. That's how I have been off late.

Never mind, I dont know why I wrote it. I dont know why I am posting it. Anyway it's not like a lot of are reading right? or are you??? /:)....... Lemme know :D

Initial and Boundary Conditions

OK... so I cheated the last time around. Well cheated not in the sense you dirty minds are thinking....:D I kinda din't really come up with something good to write in the month of January......Actually a lot of ideas did come into my mind but I was too occupied with other stuff and could not put them on here. Anyway, here is the blog for this month.

When I was in Sophomore year of college, a friend of mine(Nitesh Pandey) was taking a Humanities class and in that his Prof. has asked them a question which he brought it up to me. "See how we can tell the position, velocity of a body(don't get all Heisenberg) if we know the initial conditions of it. Can we do the same for human beings as well?" Meaning, given the type of a conditions a human was bought up in, can we predict how he/she would behave in certain situations or what he/she would become in the future etc. For some reason, I remembered it last month and ever since wanted to write about it.

I agree with the Professor to a certain extent, i.e. depending on the initial conditions meaning how someone is raised, the environment someone grew up in, plays a major role in what that person makes of himself/herself. But that is only to a certain extent. As he/she grows up a lot of other conditions start interfering in the behavior of the person. For instance the people around him, the situations he/she comes across everyday, etc. These are like the boundary conditions. They do play a major role in shaping the behavior of the person. But unlike in the case of the Boundary Value Problems that we deal in Finite Element Analysis etc, we can actually change the boundary conditions. What I mean by that is, the boundary conditions that we come across are changeable, all we need to do is stretch the boundary, fight right back, turn them so that they favor you.

I know its a lot of random stuff I blurred out, but I hope you get it. Like I said, there has been a lot on my mind lately. Hope you forgive me for that. :D

P.S. I promise another blog in this month. Until then, Ciao.
