This time i am going to write a story.
I don't know what to start with and not even what kind of a story to write.
Let's say, a mixed story would do.
I can write whatever comes to my mind that way.
Ok let's now have the title of the story.
Hmmmmmmmm.............

The Rebirth
( before starting i want to say that i don't like this blogger compressing multiple spaces to one or none, i haven't published a poem a wrote about a week ago in my chemistry class coz i wanted to publish it after i get to know how to have multiple spaces in your blog
i don't think that this no multi-space format is nice for my story either, but i will start anyway )

Scene 1:
(hey i want that scene 1 to be underlined, this isn't very nice.)

There was a village in a mountanious area in china and near India, well in Nepal. yes that location would be fine, so not India, not China, but in Nepal, and (the area) was influenced with Chinese martial arts culture and let's say was a Chinese area.

Anyway, the place's name was Zuguto (this isa all fictional, any references to any place/person dead or alive or in a superposition* of dead and alive states is purely coincidental)
(* just a bad pj using quantum mechanics)

Anyway let's continue our journey through Zugoto, ( i am hating seeing this small spacing in between words in this whole text). Meet Xo Ching, she is an advanced Kung Fu student. She is a scholarship student from BITS (Best institute in training students) located in Pilani, Rajasthan, India. (Hey i am talking about -6+5i years ago in the future, so don't take this BITS name too literally, its some martial arts institute that existed at the same location at that time. Though it is ofcourse logical to link the origin of the name of present-day BITS to my fictional creation. )
The institute gives a 3.1416 years course to every beginner martial artist who has completed the beginning, that is the basics of the course, actually that includes everything you need to be a professtional but still you need a degree to purse advanced martial arts. Well, Ching didn't waste her time while in the institute, she sharpened up her skills that she had and tried to learn new things, though succeded to learn only after 2.34578 years as it took a real lot of determination to do some real thing in that take-life-sac* institute. (*sac=easy)

She was not treated properly the first few months by other students of her higher advances studies institute "Recco". That was coz she had not done the course from a Chinese institute (her parents weren't very rich and this place in India was comparatively very cheap, so the Trisquad officers, senior officers of Xo's dad, transferred him to that place as it would be easy for them to take the money load. The laws requred the Trusuad to pay all the academic expenses of the children of the those employed there. Many other students were also sent there but she was one of the rare ones to have come to a superb place like Recco as most of those who joined BITS were rendered lazy by the atmosphere there, and were less of a martial artist after leaving he institute than they were when they entered.) Her not getting lazy there and being a very skillfull martial artist was a source of jealousy to other students of Recca, the new ones, as most of the old students kept in their own, praticing hard on their fighting techniques and living their separate private lifes, Recco was really famous for such passionate student who were so devoted to train their mind, body and soul.

After some months the hatred had settled down.....(2 b contd)
doing nothing
just sitting at a comp and wasting my time
but anyway
let me write something just for the sake of writing
lets get opinions????
let me think of a question that i can ask ............
bad idea, ia m dropping it ok
............. idea dropped
now let me do something interesting ..... hmmmmmmmmm....................................
lets see, ok then i will continue surfing the sites i was and maybe then write another post, ok
bye to anyone who is reading this, bye , tata , c u again

Maybe...

There was a boy.
playing with a toy.
It was all joy.
He was a happy boy.

There was a man
He had not a toy
There was no joy
Where was the happy boy?

There was this old man
On him, fell a fan
He was on his death-bed
And he realised all his life was a toy.
So why was there no joy?
'Coz he took it too seriously?
Why could he not stop,
and look at it for a while
and play with this toy
so there could be joy
but maybe life was not all for joy
U cannot always be the same boy
Maybe there can't be joy all the time
Maybe, and maybe .... and he died.
( to be continued for ever and ever, maybe.... )

Just time-passing around at the IPC reading mails after a lot of days and thinking ( well may be ofcourse not ) about a question i saw in one of the mails.
The problem is as follows:
"
A highly superior being from another part of the galaxy presents you with two boxes, one open and one closed. In the open box there is a thousand-dollar bill. In the closed box there is either one million dollars or there is nothing. You are to choose between taking both boxes or taking the closed box only. But there's a catch.
The being claims that he is able to predict what any human being will decide to do. If he predicted you would take only the closed box, then he placed a million dollars in it. But if he predicted you would take both boxes, he left the closed box empty. Furthermore, he has run this experiment with 999 people before, and has been right every time.
What do you do?
"
I know that i am not thinking about this question but my mind tells me that i am n thats coz when i read the question i found it interesting.
The question is about chance i suppose and a related mathematical term is probability.
If the question wants us to calculate the probabilty of getting the million dollars ( or 1000 more ) then it is ofcourse a mathematical question but it seeems to me that we can have different pre-assumptions before calculating the probability.
Anyway if we solve and get an answer, should we go by that answer?
I mean to say that though the question "might" want us to go by the probability value, is that a correct thing to do?
The question going on in my mind is one i read on the net 2-3 days ago, it goes as follows:
u are in a tv show, something like khulja sim sim, and u r given a choice out of three doors and u r told that one of them holds the prize money and the other two are empty.
u choose a door, say A and then the anchor opens a door, say B, and shows u that its empty.
he now gives u a choice to switch to door C. Should u stick to A or switch to C?
The inituitive answer(mine) is that after opening B, A and C have 50-50 chance of having the prize but the site says the answer is 2/3 for prize money in C ( use Baye's Theorem ) so we should go by the side of C. But is it correct to trust the probability.
I mean its chance, its luck and its just doesn't matter what door u open as the prize can behind any door n u don't know.
So just take a risk(its not at all risk, its just choosing between two possible choices) and go with any door, isn't it?
