Living in a different time zone
Its almost 3:30 AM and as per my time zone, it feels like late evening only. My day n night timings are totally messed up. Party due to the fact that I have my first year transfer report deadline end of this month and it needs loads of amount of writing. After that, I really need get back to normal schedule (did I say normal??) or rather synchronize with other people's normal schedule.

Power to choose Who we Are: Talk of a Lifetime
One of the best talk I have even seen, I even took down notes while watching it. Excerpt from TED:
"Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story of recovery and awareness -- of how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another."
We are energy beings connected through the consciousness of our right hemisphere in the brain as one human family. And our left hemisphere thinks in language and connects our internal world to the external world.
WE HAVE the power to choose - WHO WE ARE
Another interesting talk about religion and its true meaning and how we have changed it for our greedy means.
Excerpt: "Karen Armstrong talks about how the Abrahamic religions -- Islam, Judaism, Christianity -- have been diverted from the moral purpose they share to foster compassion. But Armstrong has seen a yearning to change this fact. People want to be religious, she says; we should act to help make religion a force for harmony. She asks the TED community to help her build a Charter for Compassion -- to help restore the Golden Rule as the central global religious doctrine."

Information Craving
TED talks always amazes me, things I don't know of and people telling their stories. Its information which makes me think of things I'm not aware off. And TED talk always give me that information. Somehow its also related to my work and I can look to my work in a different perspective (liking for ones own work is always good), which is "Looking for information in data" and sharing that information. Thanks TED for letting me seek beauty.
