Than I'm back on this interesting topic. I wanted to restart with my technical stuff. I already knew about NPTEL and could find a lot of tutorials on Youtube. Today I came across the following link and thought of including it here on my blog before I get bored with the tutorials:

Excerpts from "Power of Now"........P79
"Satori"........A word used by Zen masters to describe a flash of insight.
Have you listened, truly listened to the sound of a mountain stream in the forest? Or to the sing of a blackbird at the dusk on a quiet summer evening? To become aware of such things, the mind needs to be still. You have to put down for a moment your personal baggage of problems, of past and future, as well as all your knowledge; otherwise you will see, but not see, hear but not hear. Your total presence is required.
Beyond the beauty of the external forms, there is more here: something that cannot be named, something ineffable, some deep, inner holy essence. Whenever and wherever there is beauty, this inner essence shines through somehow. It only reveals itself to you when you are present.

Learning on Y-axis...............
I was talking to somebody sometimes back and he made a very general comment"It is impossible to learn everything in single life"..........yes, everybody does know it, but there is something wrong here.........can you guess........ok, it is the word "single".........reason: Very few will take the learning of one life to another birth........confused, I just want to say, we need not to put "single" here, just saying life is sufficient...........isn't it :P
ok, let me justify the title and its inclusion on this blog instead of newer one(A better beginning)......infact, I first thought of putting it there, but then I thought, learning is an important aspect of our life, and it is important to look at it with different glasses(yes, "Ideas" needs deeper understanding and analysis, and hence different lenses :))
To be contd............
