I

I = union_x say(I,!x)
I = U - union_x say (I,x)
please solve for I.

moksha ...

the soul has been freed from its irritating existence.

from monotony to novelty

it is funny how kids like to do repetitive things (like watch the same movie, listen to the same song, play with the same toy over and over and over again) .. but when you "grow up" you suddenly feel irritated with repeats and crave for newness/novelty. leaves you wondering why ..

novel spam?

Heres what I would have liked to write as a response -- of course didnt think it deserved a reply :-)

Hi BLAH,

Much as I would like to believe that your esteemed and most admired companies would be interested in hiring a random person whose profile you found on the web, I believe it my responsibility to inform you and your ilk that I have absolutely no intentions whatsoever of gettting out my current coccoon to enter the bad bad world of the businesses you are referring to. I appreciate your most nobel and altruistic endeavor in trying to make my life better, but you havent made an offer that I cannot refuse :-).

Thanks,

nice try

not sure what i can make out of this .. opening it up for public scrutiny.

kids as multiplicative adversaries

if you ask a kid to give you a tough multiplication problem .. it is likely that the kid will ask you multiply two large numbers with lots of zeros .. its funny that the brain doesnt come wired with a model of its own processing complexity

some consolation

should you be pleased if you lost to the two best teams on display that went on to contest the championship?

discomforting comforters

its disconcerting to note that you went to sleep without having your comforter over you and without a conscious model of where it is on the bed, but you wake up finding yourself within the comforter and with no knowledge of how it got there. disconcerting because it is possible that you have no control over your actions while sleeping

gait

was amazed that it is possible to identify an acquaintance (not someone that i meet very often) from a reasonable distance just from the gait!

introductions

why bother introducing yourself, when the probability of a repeated rendezvous is negligible?
