Life, the 2nd chance and Jurgen Klopp

Image
  I am good with dates. I vividly remember it was 26th May 2018. I had my final exam of Engineering life and Liverpool were set to face Real Madrid for the UCL final. The build-up to the game wasn't ideal for me personally. I had already received 3 rejections for my MS applications. For some reason, I built up a mental image that "Everything can't be bad" and LFC are gonna lift the 6th. That obviously didn't happen. After the final, a dejected Jurgen Klopp said back then: "This is not the end, only beginning". But I kinda refused to believe it. This was a golden opportunity that LFC lost. I remember waking up on the 27th. Never felt worse in life. Had nothing to look forward to. Engrossed in despair. On the 29th something changed. I wake up to my Twitter notifications at 5:30 AM. Liverpool FC have signed Fabinho. Out of nowhere. A type of player Klopp has never signed before. That made me thinking, I should probably change my approach too. And I started...

Equations of life

Few days back Prof. Bijan Sarkar (Yes! the same professor from "Opportunity" ) said a thought provoking thing: "f(Knowledge)= Package" It seems pretty random (no pun intended)? Isn't it? Let me explain. One of the students of Dr. Sarkar asked him about the placement package of a department. And in reply Professor said that "Package is the function of Knowledge" Now it makes sense, doesn't it? Anyways, coming back to the so called 'equation'. The math nerd in me couldn't help but shed some light on it further. And what I found was pretty intriguing. In mathematics we know, y= f(x)= [some equation which relates x to f(x)]. Now there are different type of equations. Logarithmic, exponential, linear and what not. So, if Professor Sarkar's equation to hold true, f(k) ( calling knowledge as k) should have a right hand side too. Isn't it? It actually has that! So what is the RHS part here? It is actually not constant. For someone,...

Opportunity

Opportunity  is  a  window  in  life  to  make  some  positive  changes.  It  can come in different forms such as tangible and intangible. A proactive mind with desire will always introspect about life events and envisage whether there can be an opportunity for self-upliftment of any form. Just like I did here!  While  writing  about  ‘Opportunity’,  I  took  the  opportunity  to cultivate some disordered and scattered thoughts and penned them down in an ordered and organised way. After analysing one’s strength and weakness, one should always analyse the available opportunities, then and then only one can better him/herself and  travel  the  perceived  road.  On  the  other  hand,  being  in  complete oblivion  about  the  available  opportunities  will  not  only  make ...
