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...

Averaging practice in stock market and Liquidity problem in Banking

Investors in equity market (secondary) are quite familiar with averaging practice of prices. When a stock of higher cost was already purchased but the prices drop down, then purchasing stocks at lower prices (must be probable to gain some increment in those latest prices) will average the per unit cost and given increment in latest prices but lower than previous prices till make loss over previously purchased stock lesser loss making. Now, thinking the institutional capacity of banks and financial institutions and production and distribution capacity of national economy, given flood of remittance, there must be a lag in mobilization of funds through banks. Thereby keeping interest rate at lower side till national economy's capacity to produce and distribute gets increased. However, let's imagine a scenario where funds are ever demanded and loans are distributed at higher cost. Deposit rates are increased in the name of liquidity problem or liquidity premium is so high that retu...

Usha

I bow down to mother Vindhyabasini/Brindabasini/Bindubasini whose grace and affection alone uplift unbearable pain of this life/ignorance. Nobody but Guru Gorakhnath is my Guru but am not that fortunate to get knowledge from himself. Neither read anything written by him.  During the discussion with few wise men it suddenly occurred or reiterate the already obtained knowledge of unreal nature of thoughts. However, this just helped to connect Usha with Savitur and once again ignite enthusiasm to write meaning of Gayatri Mantra. First line is dedicated to three kind of Jagat or realities excluding Om (which is not a wise thing to do but Om itself contains 3 Jagat and one last supreme reality so it is waste to discuss other line after explaining Om). First one is almost 16 hours a day i.e. waking state where we gather all information and act upon them. Second is dream state which is in its concrete form is 8 hours a day, unknown processing of information gathered during waking state. 3...
