| I Need a KitKat | |
| I started participating in public forums through the comments sections below the articles in rediff. I looked at it as a practice before opening my own page, which I eventually did. I had two major goals when I finally decided to blog. 1) To find out answers to the questions on the origin of creation and how creation works. 2) To improve ...

| The Creator-Creation Equation | |
| There are three possible scenarios in which we can imagine our existence. The Matrix Scenario – However, unlike in the Matrix movie we don’t have bodies. We are pure programs in a computer. The programmer can generate random numbers (not random for him, but random for us). He can, theoretically, predict every event in his universe as he knows the o...

| Is the Universe Deterministic? | |
| A deterministic system is one in which its every state is pre-determined. If the universe were deterministic, there is no room for freewill, as every event is bound by the laws of causality. Here I examine the question whether the universe is deterministic.I define the universe as everything that there is, was, or will be at an instant. There is no...

| Shaving in the night: When my grandfather told me, “If you shave after sunset you will lose all your money”, I was a little surprised. Almost all practices we call superstitions have reasons, which may not be applicable now. This took me a while to figure out. Shaving in the night is dangerous as there is no sun, when there was no light, and it may...

I gifted the book in 2006 to Santhi, after our marriage; maybe I delayed it till then to be sure it will be around me J here I present five entrees from that book. What are you living for? A...

When you weigh what you could do as a full‑time parent and husband against being on tour, what is still the upside of playing? You don't have anything to prove, you've won ...

However, till the advent of Anand, Chess in popular culture was only a hobby. Not many aspired for recognition in the game as they did not know how.

It was as retrograde as the other pet myth they had of Indians riding to school on an elephant. Now I wonder how b...
