Irreversible Process

I think economic liberalization(started in 1991) and globalization was clearly evident to my generation we were in our teens and graduating from our school to get an admission in an Engg. school or Med. school. why only Engg./Med. school because the middle class of India have a dream of watching their kids in a good Engg school like IITs and Med. schools(govt.). To satisfy these dreams, they(parents) used to send their kids away from them, to urban/metro cities or themselves try to settle in those cities. I also prepared for JEE but i was overqualified one of the subjects the subject that was not in the JEE syllabus, so ended with a massage on computer screen "Sorry!! you are not qualified", and further that was the year of 2000, the dot com bubble was burst, so i chose Mechanical Engg. and admission in an Engg. school(not IIT).

I remember my final year of engg., we the mechanical guys got almost a good placement with descent compensation in different companies, and my beloved computer science friends were observing the deflating dot com bubble till Dec. 2004. They used to say that " look these hammer boys got the jobs and we ...!!". But with the return of dot com booms, met them satisfied with very good jobs and and some of them settled in "the land of opportunity".

The above story is the story of more than millions of young tech gigs, who left their downtown or rural areas(villages). A large proportion of them probably are now parents of the kids of same age in which they left their town for metro cities. Almost last 15 years these metro cities are joined by new metro cities and so many new tier 2 cities. Some of the rural areas, which(gudgaon) has been eaten by urbanization and economic growth of India.

We all have seen this rural to urban migration and the metro cities are flooded with skilled and unskilled manpower. The good weather 's cities like Pune and Bangalore had attracted chop shops majorly. So the incoming skilled manpower to these cities contributed to Indian economic growth and they put limited resources(land, water) in stressed of this cities. A rapid infrastructure development also brought unskilled manpower from rural to urban. The rapid population shift was not accommodated in these new locations because the the required infrastructure to provide essential commodity like water, food and electricity was not sufficient. So this approach made the whole new urban locations with completely dissatisfied citizens. This Reminds me lecture of Engineering Thermodynamics we studied the irreversible process used to loose the energy in the form of heat and they are not efficient, particularly these processes are very fast(rapid) process.

High wages of metro cities has attracted unskilled population as well. The required manpower and interest for agriculture is getting reduced . Which can cause severe food scarcity as a matter of fact we are still in alarming situation of food insecurity . It has also raised some of the social problems. Example people who has settled to new urban environment used to hesitate to bring their rural cultured family members to urban city, has weakened the family values and binding.

There are so many problem associated with this rapid economic growth, which is not talking about the development in a holistic. we can observe the growth on stock exchange and civil infrastructure development in some selected locations. But that doesn't reflect the poverty alleviation or providing a good livelihood in terms of potable water and nutritious food to each child and citizen. Every where people are talking about sustainable development, till now i have not seen any signal in India where the problems above are addressed properly.

I believe that the decentralization of economic development and self sufficient economic system at every village level will make the difference. All the possible causes of rural to urban migration should be addressed, like education(particularly mathematics education), health services and strong infrastructure to provide potable water and a fair trading mechanism inside rural and between rural-urban with an opportunity to the village to explore for new possibilities of entertainment.

All the possible measures need to be taken to accommodate the sustainable rate of incoming skilled/unskilled population by reducing the pace of economic growth at urban level. If we will see in holistic way the total economic utility of the India will be maximum because the economic growth and development at rural level will compensate the reduction of economic growth at urban level.

!!now i am realizing the subject in which i was overqualified and it was not in the JEE syllabus, is philosophy !!

A Fascinating Mad Man

As you know most of my blogs start with my childhood memories, yet another thought with childhood memory of a man by whom i was inspired the most, was considered as mad by the society. I would like to define the "mad" according to dictionary:- Mentally disturbed or insane. Mad man means sometimes above mentioned disturbance are visible in a personality in the form of over excitement, anger, extremely emotional or thoughtful.

Most of the time when i used to hang out with my dad or friends in the town, i spotted that man, talking to himself wearing a old pajama with white cotton shirt(was no more white) moving his hand in the air looks like that he was solving a mathematical equation. I never dared to get close to him because the society(means the people around me those who think that they are normal and in equilibrium compared to that man) gave me a feeling of fear that going close to him would be harmful as a result of physical damage. But no body could speculate that the curiosity about that man in my mind was causing lot of mental damage. One fine day we three of us myself, Nikhil and Afzal saw him seating on wooden chair at one tapri( a kind of small tea shop with some snacks), that mad man was using some Greek symbols and some real numbers on piece of news paper(white area of news paper), we three were sixth standard school boy so we were exposed to such type of objects(Greek symbols and numbers) and we could think that he is dealing(playing) with mathematics. At that time we were not able to understand what exactly what a mad man used be and though we observed some abnormality but that was not sufficient to get scared off him. Nikhil was pretty fearless guy and ignoring all such warning of so called society he just approached that man and ask him "what are you doing and to whom you used talk." He turned to us with a kind of weird smile and showed that piece of paper to us that paper was in front of us in such way that it was obstructing his face(little imagination is required with the help of 9th std physics means optics). That paper was with system of linear equations and polynomials. We were not capable enough to understand his mathematical derivations but yes we got a clue that this guy is not dangerous where as he may help us in our assignments. Later we investigate about him that he was very bright mathematics student in the university and later he gone insane(according to definition of mad man in the society).

My parents were getting stressed day by day, observing increased proximity of me and my friends with that man. As we know normally a young kid always fascinated by sportsman or bollywood celebrities but in my life I was fascinated by that mad man who used talk himself and I considered him a fabulous mathematician. I always wanted to be like him who used to talk to himself. It has been almost twenty years and today I found that I started talking to myself and trying to model some of the complex phenomenon of this cosmos with the help of mathematics.


I think that the euclidean distance of normal behaved human and madmen is quite high compare to all the distances among all normal humans. Where as every one is mad with respect to other but because the euclidean distance is not quite high among their behavior which keeps that human under the normal human category . To represent those mad men with help of little maths. If I consider that whole population of human and there behavior is normally distributed than madmen lie on the tail of normal curve means beyond the +3 and -3 sigma. And if i plot human behavior of whole population in a scatter plot than these madmen will be like outliers but these outliers are useful like in my case who helped me to understand the mathematics and becomes my inspiration.

-------------

P.S. - I received couple of feedback that axes are not defined. Y-axis represents the behavior of an human and X-axis is symbolic representation of humans (like physical, social and economical status). Actually as we see that in scatter plot the points which are closed to each other nothing but there euclidean distance from each other is very less except one point(sample of mad men from population). So we assume that these all points are under the normal distributed curve between -3 to +3 sigma, further more specifically further both, curve and plot are just symbolic(intuitive) representation rather a quantitative analysis.

correlation

It is a normal mid-night, i am standing in my balcony with my last sip of tea. I saw moon and stars in the sky, the same moment i thought " what is the correlation between them, or if i bring to generality what is the correlation between two objects, existing in the universe/cosmos. over a period of time i read different streams of subjects like astrology, economics and neuro-science etc. apart of engineering. I found the fraternity of scientists are coming close to each other . They are developing new multidisciplinary areas for research as well.

I remember my school days when, i was introduced to physics mathematics and chemistry, one day my brother, he was my tutor also, told me "when u read different subjects, try to observe the correlation and establish architecture of correlated information, that will enhance your knowledge in holistic"
Now, when i am watching those stars. I found the information, that there is a study that shows a correlation between stars and pyramids of Giza i.e. Orion Correlation Theory. This theory is something that is established by the human. Apparently those objects(stars and pyramids) can't think about this correlation so the variation in the value of one star would affect the other or not i don't know? but yes according to law of gravitational force definitely there is correlation but again this correlation at human ground .

As far as my experience with linear regression in statistics, i could only say the definition of
Correlation:-the degree to which two or more attributes or measurements on the same group of elements show a tendency to vary together.

I picked up my cell phone and dialed to one of my friends , who is a statistician and i asked him " what do u know about the correlation between two objects, exist in the universe, let say what is the correlation between me and u? and if i consider me and u than we have to include my thoughts and your's too, now the situation is not linear it became non-linear and complex also." he told me about the non-linearity or curvilinear correlation but no answer about the complex situation about thoughts.

Later i thought that if i start taking interest in his girl friend and lets say dating too, what will be happening to his thoughts/actions. So means we need an area of the intersection of the sets which represents the common area of activities/thinking. I am sorry writing this logic looks difficult so i should bring some notation as follows and a figure right side.

A = set of my all actions that i can take from thinking

or

A= set of all my thoughts that i can think from the events around me

same as

B= set all of actions that he can can take from thinking

or

B= set of all his thoughts that he can think from the events around him

So that means "thinking about his girlfriend and dating her" both fall in A ∩ B and that means the changes in my variables(thoughts/action) changes his variables(thoughts/actions). Linear or nonlinear but sure, it is complex correlation definitely.
so i think or hypothesize that there is possibility that we all are, means objects, humans and, there thoughts/actions are correlated. If it is true than there is an area which will be intersection of all actions/thoughts.

i.e. A'= ∩Ai ..A'= is not zero ....where i=1 to infinity ................where i = every living non living thing/actions(or thoughts)

incomplete story

# This post is Dedicated to Mr. Steve Jobs#

Mr. Steve Jobs, CEO, Apple Inc., I remember & Probably most of the young Graduate Students, also remember. The speech given by Steve on the occasion of Convocation ceremony at Stanford,
Out of the three stories that he narrated, one story is still incomplete, the story about his Pancreatic Cancer. Today is 17th feb. 2011, just an hour ago i came to know that the Steve's cancer is recurred.
The Man, who gave a new dimension to this world, in the field of multimedia gadgets, more specifically in the applied field of Quantum Computing and Cryptographic Codes. He is having still an incomplete or unfinished story of cancer . Cancer is Came in to existence, long back in the history more than 50 years ago.

Generally the question arises that if this is true that he will not survive more than six weeks. Than i start thinking what would be his mental status at this point of time Or in general a human who knows that he has certain fix time period in which he will be alive. Probably human start thinking that to finish the unaccomplished tasks, or he looks for more recognition, that is quite relevant to the other person like Mr. Bill Gates, probably he realized that any way he has to die one day, So he wanted the huge number of people that relates " who will cry when u die?" Concept.

So back to Steve, either he would look for more appreciation of his accomplishments, or whether i m a big nut of thinking this crap. He doesn't have this state of mind. He might be in the state of numbness. But most of the cases normally human adopts most optimistic behavior that, "i will be OK, again". and this is will be a another story to tell, so. If Steve takes that he will recover again, as he could do in the past, Sometime the casual behavior about our future wellness, takes us to realization of a truth with an event in our life. The event which is correlated to so many events, but that event becomes our destiny and looks completely absolute to us. Which completes the story ............
