Comment on Cupping her, he dipped his fin… by The Wife

The tumblr mentioned has been shut down because it was plagiarizing content, primarily from Uncle Walter’s Bad Romance Novel Quotes (http://romance.unclewaltersrants.com). If you’d like to see more, Uncle Walter has over 1,000 published to date, and he updates daily with new bodice ripping fun!

More aspirational than anything — my classes are winding down, and I figured I’d dust the blog back up again.

what did “Priya’s” comment put you off that much?

Or are you truly busy? You should write more– I like your writing more than your reviews.

Hey Karthik,

I just finished reading Kafka on the shore yesterday. As most of us, I turned to internet to checkout if there was some sense behind the madness, maybe I was missing a point. As one of the commentators said, It seemed to me as if author was playing with me. Nyway amongst of the reviews and analysis on the web, I enjoyed reading, and liked your’s the best. You don’t devolve into trying to explain the unexplainable, but at the same time are right to point out that the book is a fun read. I agree. May be thats the point of it. Its a dream, elements of it allude to various physical, nonphysical aspects of existance.. but on whole there is not neccesarily a bigger picture. Its a fun read, thats that.

Yikes, it looks like in your time away you forgot to write. What was this garbage? You need to put aside the mouse and start reading real books written by real people to understand what ‘real’ writing is. This is shit.

Thanks folks. I’m hoping to write regularly, but given my past record I won’t blame you if you laugh loudly.

Welcome back.
Or should it be, welcome back, with a ‘?’?
Um.
Never did tape songs…dunno why. But I did eagerly wait for the move from 12 inches of Keltron B&W TV to second-hand Solidaire 15 inches TV with its own wooden cabinet and sliding doors. All for Oliyum OLiyum. And sunday movies.

Comment on What went wrong with Economics? by chin fuil an

chin fuil an — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 02:51:03 +0000

I got hold of the article rather accidentally and was attracted by it. Somehow, it was then put aside due to some preoccupation but it keeps returning and flashing to me like owl’s-carrying-letters sent in to Harry Potter, demanding my involvement to perhaps save the world. Yes, the world is in big trouble and economists can’t help due to perhaps lack of genes and consequentially severe loss of sights.

“What went wrong with economics” is: Economics lacks at least one fundamental foundation. Installing this fundamental will elevate Economics to another platform.

What is this fundamental? It is something that sciences cling on tightly, but economics does not. So, economics has departed from this fundamental, perhaps unconsciously.

What is it then? It is the Fundamental Axiom or Law of Causality, simply means: Cause gives rise to Effect, In = Out, Debit = Credit, a Source for every Outcome, etc which are common senses or self-evident truths.

Tell us in what way the Economics runs away from this fundamental? If you ask: You win, I win, everyone wins, who then is the loser or provider of wealth? Most of economists will tell you that there is no loser. The Economics textbooks also say so. But it cannot be no loser, as it violates the fundamental Law of Causality. So, we must insist for the presence of loser, as dictated by the Fundamental Law of Causality.

On this insistence, one great researcher by the name of HNM had successfully uncovered the identity of the loser and the mask of wealth after an effort of several decades. Needless to say, he has restored the Fundamental Law of Causality back to the economics and make it a strong and real science. Using his new theory, all events in the past or present could be explained with ease, and that it could predict and even provide future policies and directions for our world.
