Euphoria

This was the second time I had been to the Euphoria concert, this first
time being in Mood-I in IITB. It was more about hearing live music than
anything else. I would have gone even if it had been some other decent
band. The thing about live music is, even a mediocre piece sounds good.
I'm beginning to belive that the widespread availability of digital
music is really killing these live shows. And music is losing, because
the recorded versions are not the real thing.

The show started a good hour and a half late. But the quality of music
was very good. As I said, there is something about live music that makes
me like it much more than the same music played on a music player or
radio. Not to mention the atmosphere that is present during a live
concert of a famous band as Euphoria. They played their trademark
numbers and a couple of rock numbers too and had the crowd singing and
dancing to their tunes throughout.

Unfortunately, their concert was cut short by the police a 11pm, just
when they were playing one of favourites - Dil Se from Dil Se. After
pleading the police to let them have two minutes to finish off, they
left Dil Se mimdway and finished off with Phir Dhoom.

But it was really a grand experience. Dr. Palash showed what an amazing
singer he is and the rest of the band was also really good.

Thank you Euphoria, for great musical evening.

Affine Transform

Affine Transform The affine transform is quite simply, a piece of art. Usually when you have a linear system with 2 dimensions,
An 'eye opener' Let's say that you are teaching a class. Let's say that you are teaching Unix. You have drawn a neat sketch of the inode-wise layout of the disk and you are explaining the concept of the hierarchical filesystem and directories and inodes and hard and soft links with the help of your neat diagram. Suddenly you discover that one of the students is not getting the whole picture ... because he can't see ... *because he is blind*. At that moment I didn't really feel the impact because I was too engrossed in the subject, too engrossed in teaching. But the whole thing really hit me hard on the bus ride home. A thousand questions were raised, not many answered. First, about teaching - in such a situation, do you teach for the lowest denominator or the higher one. Doing anything is going to unfair to the other category. But in this case, the whole problem is magnified to a huge extent. I obviously cannot rely so much on gr...

Dumb and dumber

I think I gave myself the proof that my dumbness is unparalleled. There are two independent queues in our canteen for getting food coupons. After waiting in the first queue, for some reason, I decided to spend another fifteen minutes in the second one. I realised my stupid mistake when I reached the counter and the lady asked me what I wanted. I said 'nothing' and proceeded to the food counter, leaving the lady wondering what the hell had just happened. It going to be difficult to beat this act of stupidity!
