Can a man be a particle and a wave at the same time? I think so. Here's my proof. To a celestial observer whose one second is equivalent to one human day, a man will appear like a listless vibrating molecule following a random path, often colliding with other molecules. The observer's point of view will be akin to time lapse sequences on a fast forward mode shot from the top. The celestial observer will see the man as a wave while a fellow man on earth will see the man as a particle.

I think it's about time the world switched to a 4-day week. We spend too much of energy on trivial work matters and too little on creative pursuits. The more we delink ourselves from bread and butter issues, the more our chances of creating something.

Mahinda Rajakapse takes over as Sri Lankan President. Rahul Dravid replaces Saurav Ganguly. Nitish Kumar unseats Laloo Prasad Yadav. Me thinks, some significant changes are being effected by destiny. Guys who bring a fresh approach for tackling vexed issues are being picked for top jobs. Gentlemen, I see exciting times ahead.

Can a man stay still when his world is spinning outta control? I just found out the answer. It seems the earth goes into a tizzy everyday, covering 1.6 million miles in outer space. And the mighty irony is, it doesn't affect us one bit.

It is my view that nature has started mimicking man. Just like we slog in the last few months to achieve annual targets, nature has started unleashing a belated death dance to meet some impossible milestones set by its unseen superiors.
