Noontide

 

It seemed from past few days,
I find myself on a slippery slope.
This modern mania, the modern world
is slipping away, beyond the scope.

It's too late now to create my drop of honey.
For what good is drop compared to the ocean.
So it seemed when I looked outward and away,
But when I looked inward, it's empty,
 it longs for honey, for creating.

But this however I found.
Not by looking beyond but looking around.
This pace and slipping slope,
Is the mirage created by the modern globe.

Everything is still, around me,
Everything is still human, in me,
There came in me, a dark tide.
But went away in this warm noontide.

Hush! the world is perfect now,
In this great noontide.
When modern pipers are not blowing their pipe,
The sun, the tree, and the lazy brow,
Hush! the world is perfect now.

The Last days of Socrates

The last days of Socrates written by Plato in 403 BC can be considered as an introduction to philosophy. To me, philosophy is an art of thinking. Philosophy deals with metaphysical (beyond physical world) concepts like Truth, Soul, virtues, holiness, morality, and many more. Mainly Philosophy can help deal with the problems of our life. It is like a tool that can make our lives healthy, and our minds strong. Moreover, it can also give the direction in our life. I’m started reading philosophy and this was the first book. The book is in the form of dialogues between Socrates and others there are a total of four dialogues in the book. First, let’s talk about Socrates. Socrates lives in Athens in Greece. Socrates is known to be the first philosopher which laid the foundation, but his existence is debatable and still is because Socrates never wrote anything as he believed philosophy is not about sitting down and writing but engaging in conversations with others. He often goes to people wh...

Differentiating AI, ML and DL

  AI (Artificial Intelligence), ML (Machine Learning) and DL (Deep Learning) are the buzzwords right now. Almost everyone is talking about it right now. And every day there’s a new technique or tech-related AI is developed by people. In this blog, I’ll try to explain what the field is about and what the general difference is.  First of all these three are not separate fields, there’s a hierarchy. On the top its AI then one subset of it is ML and one subset of ML is DL. Artificial Intelligence Let’s talk about AI-first. Artificial Intelligence is an idea to develop a fully functional Intelligence with the machine. Machines are capable of doing lots of complex calculations very quickly compared to humans. The theory of AI goes way back to 1950s. The idea is to develop a thinking machine, a brain build by copper wires. Now to develop intelligence, we should define intelligence. There are two main approaches to build AI. The first one is the Sym...

Metamorphosis of Spirit

In the book 'Thus spoke Zarathustra', Friedrich Nietzsche describes a person named Zarathustra who lived in solitude for 10 years and now is ready to come out and Share the wisdom he had gained. He describes that man’s spirit undergoes 3 transformation first to the camel, from camel to lion and lastly from lion to child. The Camel Like camel the spirit takes the burden of society’s expectations, his family’s beliefs his community's ideals, and lives up to them. Thus the spirit becomes camel. Generally, during adolescence or in adults we undergo this transformation. All the societies’ expectations, cultural beliefs are portrayed as a dragon, a golden scaled dragon. In each scale, its written ‘thou shalt’ meaning all the ideals or beliefs that implicitly says that ‘you have to’ follow them is portrayed as a dragon in the book. The Lion To defeat this dragon the spirits undergo the second transformation to the lion. Lion defeats the dragon. The lion represents the reje...
