An Admirer's Note

Favourites are unique to every person. They tend to change with one's growth and  experience. But I've constantly replied same answer to this question. 
Favorite actor? - SURIYA
Might sound as hero worship. But what's wrong if the person emulates such great character in real life too.






Cinema is the biggest form of entertainment and a great influencing platform in India. Having said that, one naturally expects the stars to be socially responsible in what they portray and promote through their art. 
Suriya goes way forward in setting such example. His choice of scripts, filmography is a testimony to this.
It is the humanitarian Suriya which inspires me more than the star Suriya. He strikes the right chord at the right time. He speaks up for causes which requires a strong voice. His actions always  resonate with people's sentiments.  The Agaram foundation not just provides free education, it grooms the complete personality of every students. When my friends question the credibility and purpose of such foundation, I just drop a smile, knowing that the results speak louder than my argument. He has always said that he is happy to be identified by people through agaram rather than being identified as a cinema star. It speaks volume about his love for this society. The modules of the foundation focus on breaking all the impediments that hinder self confidence in a child. Because Saravanan before becoming Suriya  had a very low self-esteem.  He rose by lifting others. 
Yes, there are lot of unsung heroes in real life who work regardless of recognition and appreciation. But we owe a small gratitude to this man for being different among his contemporaries. Always keep shining,on 
and off screen my star.
With love,
From your forever fan.

Art and AI

I wanted to try how AI conceives poetry and wrote this verse and asked it to elaborate.  'Do you know me? Do I know you? No. Then why are we cute? ' I liked its (Grok) response, Do you know me?  Do I know you?  No. Strangers in passing, yet here we glow. Then why are we cute? In this brief moment, a shared glance,  No history, no circumstance,  Yet something in our eyes ignites, a spark, a charm, a fleeting light Is it the novelty of the unknown  Or the comfort in feeling less alone?  Perhaps it's just the human art, To find beauty in the heart Cute, not for acquaintance deep, But for the promise, the leap,  Of what might be, or what could grow,  From this moment, this hello. I was amazed at how AI reads human interaction this beautifully. It was a very novice and rudimentary attempt to explore the theory of mind and AI. I am not in any way misrepresenting the calibre of human mind with AI technology. I will try to update this post, if anythi...

God! Nero! Genghis Khan!

  I was raised as a staunch believer of God by my parents. They believed in God as a moral guide and support that guided them during difficult times in life. I enjoyed praying and holding faith in it to accomplish things in life and persevere through tough waters. As I grew up, I felt guilty about being selfish in using my faith and wanted to make amends. This made me ponder about the world's sufferings and unjust society. This did not lead me to a rational path, but rather, I convinced myself that there must be certain reasons for the world's pain, and they are solely inflicted because of humans' greed for power and money and God will alleviate the hopeless out of it. I believed that this might take time, but it'll not be an insurmountable task for the omnipresent. But I had realised the difference in my faith that I had in my childhood to that of my teen period. But I didn't want to reason this change, rather wanted to still hold on to my faith for selfish reason...
