“I’d like to share a revelation that I’ve had, during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you aren’t actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with its surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply, and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? –A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we… are the cure.” – Agent Smith

“A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.” More so in the Indian context as we saw in the previous parliaments. A left block with 10% of the total seats used to dictate the government’s economic and foreign policies. Blocks of Mamatas Mayawatis and Jayalalithas [...]

I came across this scenario more than a year back, and again today the same scenario is back, but no answers yet, and hence posting the same thoughts again While writing a piece of software I got this thought about a feature that could be provided in programming languages (at least I am not aware of any programming language which [...]

“Capitalism and communism stand at opposite poles. Their essential difference is this: The communist, seeing the rich man and his fine home, says: ‘No man should have so much.’ The capitalist, seeing the same thing, says: ‘All men should have so much.’” Both India and China want to become great powers, but there ends the similarities between them. In India [...]

Think about this. When you were a child still learning how to walk, how many times did you fall before learning to stand straight? How many times did you fall before being able to ride your bicycle for more than a minute without falling? If you had opted not to fall, could you have still opted to stand or to [...]
