Theme of Life: Celebrate once in a lifetime festival called LIFE!
My favorite pastimes are investigating the functioning of this universe, searching for new knowledge, wandering in the midst of nature, forests, valleys, listening, playing and composing music, etc.
I love Science. In fact, I live for science. For me Science is like a beautiful girl who is both attractive and explorable. Attractive bcos I like what I know about her and explorable bcos I know that I don’t know everything about her, which, nevertheless I would like to know.
Thanks to Quantum Mechanics and Relativity, life is quite interesting to me. If GOD grants me a wish, I would like to be a full time researcher, roaming the world and doing research on the unsolved mysteries of life and universe. But I also do understand that GOD helps only those who help themselves. So let me press F1 for myself. God gives us what we need, not what we want.
I love music. Music is what feelings sound like. My music past time includes not only listening to those longitudinal wave vibrations, but also composing and playing in my synthesizer. I listen to all kinds of music from old classicals, devotional, carnatic, hindusthani, western rock to indi pop, remixes, ghazals, folk songs, etc in almost any language – tamil, telugu, hindi, kannada, english, arabic..
Enter Computers in my life, the power of this greatest technological product has had a tremendous influence on me. Only a powerful combination of computer chips and human brains can further our understanding of the universe. Artificial Intelligence and Robotics are my favorites. Long live Asimov’s laws.
‘Do not tamper with Mother Nature’, cries thy heart. ‘Genetics and Biotech is inevitable’, rules the brain. Bionic Man Shall Come.
Why should we go to tomorrow as everyday passes? Can’t we go back to yesterday? If that happens, will I meet another Me or will I end up in a parallel universe with a parallel history? While Quantum Mechanics preaches non-locality, General relativity points towards wormholes. Is time travel possible? Well, I do believe in believing things till they are disproved. If not, science would not have evolved from Aristotle to Hawking.
So, why do I have this website? Well, I badly needed a platform to share my views with the rest of the world, and the views of the rest of the world with me. Knowledge is infinite, knowing that we dont know is true knowing.
What does hitXP mean? Well, tell me what Schrodinger’s equation means and I shall tell you what hitXP means.
Anyway, here is a phrase which can be abbreviated to hitXP. I thought about this after my site was up and when people started asking what hitXP meant!
HITXP = Human Intelligence To-solve X-treme Problems.
Anything else? Yes, of course! INDIA – my Motherland, the greatest of all nations with the oldest and richest culture. Home for 1/6 of the entire humanity. Birthplace of the largest number of religions. The only nation where the culture of its ancient civilizations (Indus valley and Saraswati civilizations) continue to be deeply rooted in the day to day life of its people. A nation whose ancient science and philosophy is being seen as the only available solution to the mysteries of present science by a large number of physicists.
A nation where mathematics and science was born, the concept of place values and the invention of zero in Einstein’s words We should be grateful to Indians who taught us how to count without which no worthwhile scientific discovery would have been made. A nation which achieved its independence solely by means of non-violence. A nation which has never invaded any other country, but was itself invaded throughout its history by many others throughout history starting from Alexander, the Not So Great to jehadi terrorists funded by its hostile neighbour who still continue to target this nation which is secular by spirit and culture.
A nation known for its UNITY IN DIVERSITY, home to people of all the religions and faiths, where more than 1500 languages and dialects are spoken. This world’s largest democracy today with a fast growing economy stands high as one of the leading nations, especially in the field of Information Technology. India shall be the future superpower not by mere military, economy and technological might, but also by the message of love and friendship which it believes in. The concept of ‘VASUDAIVA KUTUMBAKAM’ (the entire world is a single family) and ‘SARVE JANA SUKHINOBHAVANTU’ (may all the humans live happily and prosperously), was preached and practiced in India ever since the birth of civilization here thousands and thousands of years ago.
“India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend and the great grand mother of tradition.” – American Writer and Humorist Mark Twain
“In India I found a race of mortals living upon the Earth. but not adhering to it. Inhabiting cities, but not being fixed to them, possessing everything but possessed by nothing.”- Apollonius Tyanaeus, Greek Thinker and Traveller 1st Century AD
“Many of the advances in the sciences that we consider today to have been made in Europe were in fact made in India centuries ago.” - Grant Duff, British Historian
“India was the motherland of our race and Sanskrit the mother of Europe’s languages. India was the mother of our philosophy, of much of our mathematics, of the ideals embodied in Christianity… of self-government and democracy. In many ways, Mother India is the mother of us all” – Will Durant, American Historian
And Finally,
At the close of this century, the world would be dominated by the West, but that in the 21st century “India will conquer her conquerors.” – Dr. Arnold J. Toynbee – British Historian

thank you,

Since you are inclined towards Modern Physics and you can comprehend what I mean when I say “observed reality” and “objective reality”, here’s a question that had always bothered me since childhood but always thought I am a fool to have such a stupid thought. That is till I became aware of uncertainty and Copenhagen Interpretation. Still I try not to ask something of this kind to other friends and colleagues. The last time I did, I had become a joke!
We perceive our world through our senses. Sight is one of them and colour is the “reality” that it perceives. When I see the red apple in front of me, I know that I am seeing some colour and I call it red. No one else, who sees the apple disagrees with me in that the colour of apple is red. But is there some experiment (it may as well be practically infeasible experiment like say, brain-transplant, etc) that can prove whether the other person is seeing the same colour that I am seeing? Could it be possible that other’s observed reality is completely different than mine and yet since we had been told since the early learning age that whatever colour of the apple we are seeing is red, and hence we both agree that it is red. What’s more – all other objects of the same colour is also red and hence we never disagree with each other.
Could it be that what I am seeing as Red may look to you as my Yellow and yet we both agree with each other because we have come to uniquely recognize our individual “observed reality” of what is Red.

Wow..I finally stumbled upon the blog I was searching for. I was just curious to find out how crazy is my belief that a stronger rupee and not a rupee that devalues against a devaluing dollar, is what India really wants. Googling on “stronger rupee” led me to one of your articles. You have very well articulated your views on this. This is precisely what I believe in.
Wanting to know more about you, I read this introduction of yourself. It turns out that I found an exact replica of me in terms of likes and dislikes!
Physics and especially, Modern Physics has always been my first love, too. Seems like I would become a regular visitor to this blog.
Thanks Guru Bhai! -
Guru bhai!! Why have you stopped blogging?? Your articles were such a huge source of inspiration!!! Hope you resume it from Jan as said!!

Awesome collection of brilliant analysis and ideas!!! kudos to u for posting such stuff that is so relevant for us right now…

Arre Guru bhai, kitna din ho gaya, ek blog posts bhi nahi?
I used to read your blog on blogger and wordpress ad it was amazing.
Now, you got a new domain and you have become busy with life
When i was checking my bookmarks, i found the article “Heights of Weight Loss”. Looks like it has become loss in the re organisation of the website.
Are you ill or something or plain busy
Keep us updated. (To be read: One blog per week
)Thanks.

Thanks a lot Gurudev 4 ur reply. u seem pretty busy implementing new plans!
Anyways, I already had opted for Plan-B, i decided to quit job (not too concern bout financial aspect) & started preparing for Masters. I want 2 thank u once again to make me feel confident on decision i took.
I wish u’ll b able 2 post regular blogs by start of new year.
Hv a gr8 time ahead!!! god bless u!!! -
Dear Gurudev,I am one of the avid believers of Hinduism. And very much impressed with your spiritual activities. Here are my some queries about which I am having nagging doubts. I shall be thankful to be enlightened by you for u have good deal of Vedic knowledge .
1. According to the Bhagavad Gita, 33/13-chapter, there is mention of one Sun that illuminates the entire universe. How can one sun illuminate the infinite universe? Because there are trillions of stars in the universe which are many times bigger than our SUN. Are not the trillion stars visible in the sky are Suns with their own individual solar systems?
2. Is there any mention in the Hindu scripture that there are many solar systems in the universe?

gurudev you are brilliant … you made the notes for songs.. expecting more from you buddy … get me “hungama hai kyon barpa” by ghulam ali sahib if possible .. keep up the great work ..

Hi Gurudev,
Very impressive work. I just stumbled onto your site while I was looking for any article which talks about the Vibrio cholerae bacteria eating bacteriophage present in Ganges, which I saw it in a show “Regenensis”.
Wishing you a very interesting life and may all your dreams come true.
Take care

Hi Guru,
I think I call you Guru very aptly, coz I get to learn things reading your blogs.
I write this to thank you for sharing your noble thoughts with us. A few with your kind of thinking can make our nation, our world a better place for living.
I do love science verymuch. Only regret I could not learn the in outs of quantumn mechanics but do try to try to understand a bit theoritically.
May you will blessed with abundant wisdom. May all your dreams come true.
Cheers!

Thanks for educating us. Please post links to know veda (its spiritual and scientific aspects)

Hi Guru,
I read what u’ve written under “who?” tab. The purpose 2 write, is the thoughts u displayed here r very much in sync with mine. (epecially ur view on bridging modern physics with Vedic philosophy. Here i’ll also take the opportunity to mention the coneptual analogy of balckholes to Shri Krishna’s Vishwarup Darshan ref-Bhagawat Gita). Only thing i want 2 ask u is, r u a physics researcher/scientist. Why am asking this question is I also want 2 persue research in particle physics (major in Theoretical Physics). But considering my B.E (EXTC) degree & exp. of 2 yrs in Telecom industry how can I achieve it. If u can, give me your say or word of advice. Beside this, if possible, keep me posting about latest blogs & comments via email coz i find this place very interesting. -
—- I read ur interesting blogs. . May i share with u something worth-knowing, maybe which u already know ?

Hi Guru, I love visiting your website from time to time, like yourself I too love and want to live for science.
I like your thoughts , your language as well your view upon issues related to science or religion or any other issue at all. It always sound convincing .
The topic above also clarify how patriot you are towards our country. I some time criticize India and its politicians but forget about the good things and the best luck god gave for making me part of and the citizen of India.
If we the young generation start to think and share our good thoughts for our mother land India with each other, it will take some time, but there will never be any problem in lives of people of India.
Keep it up.
Thanks A Ton……. -
