My Tryst with Inconsistency. Friday, July 26, 2013. Fast and Furious - 1st Gear (Bangalore Edition). The second most affluent city in India, a city that millions call home and a subset of those millions also call it an obstacle course. The Government of India has stipulated that a Drivers License obtained anywhere in India has national validity. I beg to differ. A DL just says that you "may" legally be allowed to drive. The roads in Bangalore begs the question. CAN you drive.PUNK? 2) They act as well des...

My Tryst with Inconsistency: September 2012
http://samratbhattacharjee.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
My Tryst with Inconsistency. Friday, September 14, 2012. In the Arms of an Archipelago. As the calm and serene waves of green. Below the surface wage a battle unseen. Tumultuous thoughts ebb and flow. Darkness of desire, dreams aglow. As solitary islands lie amidst the waves. Needs of life mingle with wants and craves. The overwhelming desire to absorb it all. The ocean, the sky; sights big and small. Like drops of rain mingled with the mist. Little grains of sand cascading from my fist.

My Tryst with Inconsistency. Saturday, February 2, 2013. Is one of the well known Football Clubs from the North East of India and recently they had invited submissions for their club anthem. I wrote a few lines and had it sent to them but they were looking for a composed song and not just the lyrics so I didnt get in. Nevertheless, here is what I had written down and all the best to the club! Proud to be a Shillongite. Khublei Shibun! Our hearts beat, longing for a story. Dreams, faith, hope and desire.

My Tryst with Inconsistency. Monday, October 8, 2012. Modern life with all its conveniences and nuances does rob us of some of the finer aspects of life. As life has gotten more and more complicated we sometimes fail to appreciate how even some of the basic necessities of life are magically available to us. For instance - food. And were the hottest chillies in the World till last year I think. (Now they are no 2- Respect). 1) Quality of the Soil. Had some pesky little bugs pestering my garden.The und...

My Tryst with Inconsistency: Life and the Central Limit Theorem - An asscociation made in mathematical heaven
http://samratbhattacharjee.blogspot.com/2013/12/life-and-central-limit-theorem.html
My Tryst with Inconsistency. Sunday, December 1, 2013. Life and the Central Limit Theorem - An asscociation made in mathematical heaven. Too often in life we tend to generalize and associate individual behavior with the behavior of a group. Many of our social biases stem from such a tendency and what we fail to appreciate is the wonderfully complex world we live in. However, if we now roll two dice and evaluate the sum of the digits that show up then the total number of possible outcomes goes up to 11 wi...

My Tryst with Inconsistency. Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Infinity - Is a physical interpretation posible? Infinity is an interesting subject indeed but its one that is lightly brushed over in most mathematical treatments. Over the course of numerous discussions I have had with peers and friends, it has become apparent that by and large the "average" understanding of infinity is. 1) It is a very large number. 2) Its obtained as a result of an undefined operation (like division by zero). 8734; = 0. So ess...

My Tryst with Inconsistency. Sunday, December 9, 2012. The Apartment of Nations. Every aspect of modern city life reemphasizes the fact that we are living in an ever shrinking world. On similar lines, I was wondering if we could draw a parallel between the world as it is today and something that we all can relate to, namely - Our home. So here is the analogy, let us imagine the world to be a one bedroom apartment and different rooms to be represented by different countries. A room that houses every possi...
