guess there's more to newton's laws

All my school days i had a strange habit to decipher things a little beyond normal comprehension skills. My first target was coulomb's law. Let me quote the law as stated by Coulomb "two electrically charged specimen attract or repel each other if they are of opposite charge type and if they are of same charge type respectively. and the force of attraction is inversely related to the square of distance between them". The law seems simple and naive, interesting.

I thought a little among a different line, i always thought physical entities want to be stable. lets assume two charged species with magnitude (+3) coulomb and (-4) coulomb when they are apart there's something wrong, now imagine them together, the united product has (-1) coulomb and universe has much lesser charge/mass ratio. Sounds interesting? Lets dig a bit deeper consider the energy that is stored in the electrostatic field created when two charges are keep apart at some distance. Now when the charges join the what happens the overall electrostatic energy generated by them is immensely reduced. Charges flow from a higher potential to lower potential because there is a drive. But drive for what? To be more stable beca

I have an another evidence to support my verdict, newton's law of gravitation. i have no idea whether newton thought the same way i did, probably yes it seems more ordinary thinking and laws are often finding the most ordinary recurrence in numerous happenings around us. You all may be little interested to know about why i strangely talked about newton's law of gravitation. Lets not wait any longer, we all know about the big bang theory the universe was generated from a huge mass. Very naive statement of gravitational law would state "Two masses attract each other", what happens when they unite they become a single mass does it make universe a bit more stable. Lets say all masses in universe unite to form again a big single mass, have we moved to the pre big bang form. Yes we have. Sounds interesting? It always did to me.

Let me cite a way of looking at Bernoulli's law of hydrostatics. Those who don't know hydrostatics as name suggests is a law dealing with fluids. Law states "a substance partially or fully immersed in a fluid will experience a buoyancy force (an upward force) that is equal in magnitude to weight of fluid displaced by the substance. All of us have read a diagrammatic proof for it based on calculation of force on the object. Did any of you knew whats ordinary about the law. Now lets try out this, replace the quantity of fluid displaced by the substance with the same quantity of fluid in the displaced area (region). Does it bring the fluid back to its original stable version? It does. Sounds interesting? It always did to me.

The recent buzz in christian community of a belief that their existed a community "priority of scion" which believed in unison of men and women. They believed worship of a supernatural power should be in form of unison rather than an individual, interesting. It again strengthens the basis coulomb hinted. Historians predict Newton was a member of this community, something that made my thinking more realistic. This community strangely had a worship festival when men and women came together and had a sexual intercourse. Sounds very wired, it does but we don't know about all ways people can take to testify their belief.

The story is not over, it was never for me. There's always a conflicting belief to the underlying phenomenon of universe trying to be stable, that is entropy. For those who don't know about it, entropy is a standard to measure disorderliness in a system. And another naive law of thermodynamics states "entropy is a given system cannot decrease without entropy being increased in an another system". Law of attraction predicts we want to move toward a more stable system but interesting point is where are we dispelling entropy. Somebody is consuming it if coulomb's and newton's belief are true. The whole phenomenon is complex and we are still exploring.

I was always attracted to physics because it seemed to hint something ordinary to me, believe me all this ordinary visions are rules that rule this physical world. Eintein was trying for a unified field theory i really repent his not being able to complete it probaly it had answer to all my questions.

ideal match

One of my friends did talk about getting your ideal match but i think it needs a deeper interpretation. Lets start it with a fairy tale. When i was in standard 9 and 10 th my mom always talked about life being pathetic if one is not in IIT. We often had light fun times where aunts revealed that only men they wanted to marry were iitians because they were so inteligent. Wait a moments let me a candid confession that really looks a fairy tale to me now :P.

All of us must have seen people's personal profile on orkut describing their ideal match. I am sure we read it most and then sending some add request messages like "not many match but i guess i do qualify" ;). I hope i don't need to specify that i am talking of boys :P.

I had a strange opinion that girls have a difficult time getting a match when its come to marriage. Recently i was shattered ... lol ... when i didn't get any girl's profile that can even come close to my accepting after adopting a standard procedure of advertisement in most read news paper in country "Times of India". Some girls told me that no girls send their profiles through these medium of advertisements. Strange indeed just 10 years back one of my cousins with same qualification (B.Tech from IIT) got married via same medium and he encouraged me to go down the same path as at that time he got 1000 of profiles and more importantly found my extremely beautiful bhavi via the add.

Its beyond doubt that times have changed. Lets talk about some mediums people take to find their soul mates. Todays technology products matrimonial sites, today they are huge business but strike rate is pathetic. Once you all become first time memeber to these sites you would be excited like hell with lot of hope in heart believe me it doesn't take much time to bite the dust :P.

Since i have used these sites for sometime now let me give some insight into their reality. Most horrible site "Simply marry better call it never marry". Even shaadi.com is a huge sucker. Shaadi.com interestingly sends match alerts once you are paid member believe me they make it sure that 50% of those profiles would be of same sex ... lol ... pathetic indeed. Bharat matrimonial is definately better than these as it has some better profiles and for god shake doesn't send same sex profiles :P. If you are really looking for getting married stricly restrict your time and search to Jeevensaathi.com. At least i find them with most simple features to use and most importantly the best profiles. The site doesn't atleast look to be exsiting on the ground of fooling people. Though it doesn't make life simpler as problem is more complex indeed.

You find some gorgeous looking gilrs and without a rethink show intersts in them after all what it takes, just a button click. Be rest assured most of them decline your interest .. lol..

Assuming you are not average looking or don't earn bits and pieces there are more hurdles for you to cross. Most of them are punjabi and if you are not one you are out of consideration, bad luck indeed. Its not only is even most brahmins, rajputs, aggrawals and others want to marry in their caste only. Only interest i receive from others is from kayastha community though it may bother me least what community they belong to. Caste, belief and faith cripples you again and again. Except for punjabi's who anyways have great time .. lol ..

People often say marraiges are made in heaven believe me i also feel the same now :P.

who am i ?

The most difficult thing to talk about in india is religion/caste. I often had heated discussions with my mom figuring out what's religion all about. I have often seen when people have nothing else to be happy about in life they are happy on being part of their self claimed prestigious caste.

Its not a rare sight kayastha community bramins, rajputs of their shrewdness and arrogance respectively. Same is case with brahmins often feeling them the best cultured creatures and rajputs believing they are only royal race left on earth. People are so bent upon finding their identity in their caste rather than what they are and what metal they are made of.

I am quite surprissed to still see people firmly believing that they would be happier if they marry in their own caste. I as a kayastha never ever felt that i have something different in me beause of my caste thats makes me feel a little different from my rajput, brahmin and other caste friends. We are not yet ready to accept the fact that the castes were made to make people take different roles in society now everybody does everything. Do any one of us in our organisation see people of only one caste? We have lost so much of energy and crusial time figuring out who is superior its high time we said no to these craps.

If i ever try to talk sense my mom makes sure she has all logic to make me feel not marrying in my caste would be the biggest mistake of my life. Women in india still believe worshiping idols can take away all their problems in life. God is an another topic where you may like to be passive rather than claiming yourself to be a disbeliever. I remember my IIT days where i made a strange presentation on "Does God exist?" where i tried my best to relate a physics concept of thermodynamics called entropy to life and death phenomenon believe it went to land up in an interesting conversation in the class. Doesn't it sound strange the most corrupt men/women after a holy worship of few idols feel them to be most pious souls on earth.

We are changing and i think coming generations are better in practicality though they may not be so pious as expected by elder ones. We still have a long way to take in this regard we need to be human beings who loves his country, his family rather than feeling happy for being a member of their caste. Hypocrisy in any form is undesirable and condemnable and ideologies without any base should not exist.
