Learning R

 Excel has always been not so interesting tool for me to perform anything. Since, I have prior experience of programming, though 10 years later I am trying data analysis with R which also gives programming facility, it is both curious and nostalgic feeling.

I still remember that day when I learned programming in C in one night. I almost always had a habit of ignoring my lecturers, I was in serious trouble of giving practical exam of C. But the book was so nicely written, by executing codes and learning theory at the same time I scored 19/20 in internal theory exam and 70/80 later in final theory exam and 30/30 in internal practical and 16/20 in final practical exam.

Later on C++ I scored 9/10 and 38/40 in theory exam and 28/30 and 18/20 in practical exam. Programming had always been my cup of tea and I enjoyed it as I can develop a system and see the output instantly. I can modify it till I satisfy myself regarding the output.

Later on while doing project on C, my respected teacher's grace helped me to learn systematizing the project development. Rather than enjoying coding, he taught me how to document and guide coding with the help of algorithms.  

Following the same pattern in learning R, I am feeling joy of learning it and joy of visualizing data before my eyes with few functions (thanks to the developers of such useful tools). Though I learned a little bit of Python one year ago, the flexibility of R is giving me impression of coding in C. 

May God help me to master this new tool with 10 years old enthusiasm and 10 years of learning and working experience in various fields.

Hindu Jurisprudence- Smriti And some property law

I just don’t have the energy to write against the popular teaching (perhaps I have read the wrong books) that Hindu jurisprudence is contained within the Smriti, mainly the Manusmriti, and the property systems of the two schools — Mitakshara and Dayabhaga (I forget which region each school belongs to). But these are laws, not jurisprudence. I admit I do not know the subject of jurisprudence deeply — such a tragedy — but it seems to me these were laws made for the time and place according to the wisdom of the sages of that era. The Smriti writers themselves clearly said that the source of their understanding is the Veda. So, anyone who wants to understand exactly what truth Hindus hold must study the Vedas. Those who cannot may go through the Upanishads (major texts distilled by sages to teach the essence of the Jñāna part of the Veda). Those who still find that difficult may turn to the Mahabharata (which is in itself a “great battle” to understand), or they may study Mīmāṁsā, Nyāya-śā...

Sabda Bramha-Words are everything

They say Om is Sabda Bramha Vayu is Pratakshya Bramha I(Aatma) am Bramha I am the essence Sounds and letters ignite the mind They are capable of saying new things to mind Though not against Rit of the Bramhanda But they dont repeat they enlighten If that word be Om or Ram or Radha or Radhe or Bramha or Agni or Indra or Savita or ...
