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.

Sustainable development of Life

 XYZ whatever be the technicalities of a life process, the origin is, as I am convinced at this point of time, nothing but wish of Nature or who create the nature. The sole purpose of life is to consume itself. Consume is really the worst word in this context. Let me say to observe the beauty of itself by itself. Hence, we are designed in such a way with such and such purposes by the ultimate guiding truth which is ever full of knowledge of all kind. It can do anything (proof: various form of lives), it is evolved or it is ordained by truth can be a debate. Base of life is nature or life (especially human) struggle with nature to evolve itself. First one provide possibilities of re-creation of more sophisticated or more adaptable life suitable to the nature at that point of time, second is more egoist approach to life and claim nature as nothing but inert objects which are subject to enjoyment or preservation for enjoyment in future (as now discussed in the name of sustainable deve...

Ethics : Dharma of Individual (Yoga Sutra)

 Ethics as virtue-  it is collection of desirable action for sustaining society. [dying for group's belief ] Ethics as utility- it is collection of desirable action for sustaining society and more rudely exchanged in name of utility, often society can buy desirable action for society and tag it with ethics. [dying in poverty is ethical but to save life by robbery is not] Ethics of universal rationality- whatever action that can be universalized is ethical and others are not. collectively it again universalize social needs over individual {I am deficient here....} Ethics of social contract- here even an attempt to hide the social behavior and labeling it as ethics has been withdrawn [collective interest labeled as ethics] In my limited understanding these alternatives, individuality is easily coerced by society. But these definitions are not capable to define anything at all. Many things now called Ethics are borrowed from religion. Mainly non-violence and etc. can be traced di...

Dharma Ra Nyaya-1

 In no way I am writing with any certainty about these words or realities or whatever phenomena they are. But with quite a discussion with a learned friend of mine, clarity of thoughts seems to built within. However, from very surface reading and my own biases, Dharma and Nyaya have been same thing for me. Naya here is not a branch of philosophy rather justice in its strict sense.  What is Nyaya? In its day-to-day life, a decision by court of justice is itself justice. One can try to cry over and over yet in short run whatever a reason of court is will be justice. However, in truth, justice is related with what a pure human consciousness guide the human being as a justice is justice. Qualifying consciousness with purity may be a false attempt to define something undefined. Here, purity of reason can do good work. With hope , purity of reason coincide with one true reason by all human being. With a good wish, many have found to place great trust in universal reason or something...
