My Perspective

What is tinnitus? It is a debilitating disorder where people suffer from a chronic "phantom hearing sensation" i.e. perception of sound in the absence of any acoustic stimuli. It is often perceived as hissing or ringing sound in the ears. Who is at risk? Tinnitus could happen to anyone among us. Even listening to music at high volume for several hours daily is a known cause.

As I was thinking about PI, I felt may be I could compute its value from a limiting case. Could PI could be defined as the ratio of perimeter of a "cyclic equilateral polygon" to its "circum-diameter" under the limits of inifinite number of sides for this polygon? Let me explain.

Spend your next vacation close to nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the urban space. The moment we think of spending a day in a verdant valley, we are reminded of exorbitant expenses charged by those fancy resorts and retreats. No you do not need to shell out a fortune for this. Just make a trip to the

It has been quite a while since we spoke movies. Now here I am giving my recommendation. Lucia - a movie made in the south Indian language of Kannada is a must watch. It is hard to find good movies, which in an effort to appeal to the masses talks down to its audience. One can understand the thought process behind making a movie that addresses the lowest common denominator ($£€.Rs). As a breath of fresh air to the Kannada film industry we have director Mr. Pawan Kumar tackle an interesting topic. Human fascination with interpreting dreams and its significance seems to be a never ending endeavour. While inception was about secrets in dream, Lucia is about

"ದನ ಸಿಂಗ ಹುಲಿ ಹಕ್ಕಿ ಹಾವು ಮೀನ್ ಗಳಿಗೆಲ್ಲ ।  ಇನಿಸುಣಿಸು, ಬೆದೆ, ಬೆದರು - ಅಷ್ಟೆ ಜೀವಿತವು ॥  ಮನುಜನೆಂತನಿತರಿಂ ತೃಪ್ತಿವಡೆವನವಂಗೆ ।  ಕ್ಷಣಕ್ಷಣವು ಹೊಸ ಹಸಿವು - ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ ॥ ೨೦೯ ॥" Quoting D.V.Gundappa's Mankutimma Kagga (rigmaroles for a common man) #209, "Cow, lion, tiger, snake, fish and other animals have a simple definition of life. Struggling for food, securing a mate to have a healthy progeny, being scared about life (from predators or nature) - this pretty much completes their life and they are happy if they are able to do just that. But man is not like them. He is not happy just doing the same. His desires grow and change every second." Introduction In natural world, organisms strive to survive long enough to be able to pass on their genes to the next generation. Thus biologically speaking, every individual has two primary tasks - survival and procreation. Since natural selection would work against those individuals who do not strategize in such a manner, so it is pertine...

Ever noticed that "loudness" button on your music system, home theatre, on car audio system. Do you know what it does? What is it meant for? This option is quite misunderstood amongst the users. Here is some information that I hope would help to clear things. Loudness is the correction required during playback of an audio source...

I had come across this forward message that made tall claims for hanuman chalisa. The forward read as follows: Any one knows the Hanuman chalisa? In Hanuman Chalisa, it is said : "Yug sahastra yojan per Bhanu! Leelyo taahi madhur phal janu!!"   1 Yug = 12000 years 1 Sahastra = 1000 1 Yojan = 8 Miles Yug x Sahastra x Yojan = par Bhanu 12000 x 1000 x 8 miles = 96000000 miles 1 mile = 1.6km 96000000 miles = 96000000 x 1.6km = 1536000000 km to Sun NASA has said that, it is the exact distance between Earth and Sun (Bhanu). Which proves Hanuman ji did jump to Planet Sun, thinking it as a sweet fruit (Madhu phal). It is really interesting how accurate and meaningful our ancient scriptures are..Unfortunately it is barely recognized. The estimate of 1 astronomical unit (au) - the distance between earth and sun has a long history. The first estimate only came during the transit of Venus in the 18th century. Before this event, we did not have any estimate for the ...
