Next Big Disruption In The Waiting : Quantum Computing

If you ask me what is going to be the next big disruption in the way we work will definitely Quantum Computing. It is going to change the way we compute, we live, we work. All leading computer as well as software giants, Labs and Research Institutes are working overnight in this area. Those who win in the race, will rule. Sadly, in this race India has just started. We will talk about that at a later stage but first let us explore what do we mean by quantum computing and what are the challenges it can pose. Do you know that nature -- including molecules like caffeine -- follows the laws of quantum mechanics, a branch of physics that explores how the physical world works at the most fundamental levels. At this level, particles behave in strange ways, taking on more than one state at the same time, and interacting with other particles that are very far away. Quantum computing harnesses these quantum phenomena to process information in a novel and promising way. The computers the one we u...

Upnishad Simplified : Gems of Aitareya Upnishad

Vedas are other name of 'the sacred knowledge'.The vedic literature is organized into four segments, viz. : 1.  Rigveda , the Vedas of the verse 2.  Samveda , the Vedas of songs 3.  Yajurveda , the Vedas of sacrificial Text 4.  Atharveda , so named after Atharvan, the mythical priest of the past ages.          Upnishads are  theological and philosophical reflections about the essential nature of things. They are also called Vedanta, literally meant - end of Veda, the final goal of the Veda, because it was, as a rule, located at the end of the Brahmana. Upnishads are also literally called 'confidential session' with the teacher, later meant as 'secret lore' because it used to be imparted to the pupil towards the end of the period of instruction.   I have tried to bring out few gems from prominent Upnishads. The Aitereya Upnishad  is basically from Rigveda. It belongs to the school of the Aitareyins who process...

Hindi Ghazal on Family Relations

Hindi Ghazal शेर  माँ  बारे में शायरों ने बहुत कुछ लिखा और गाया  है  पिता वो दरख़्त है जिसके साये में हमने सुकून पाया है  ग़ज़ल  घनी धूप  थी सफर में मगर मैं चलता गया  बाप का साया मेरे बदन को ढंकता गया  घर जो छूटा मेरा बहुत कुछ छूट गया  माँ के कढ़ी चावल को मैं तरस सा  गया जमीने  बंटीं घर बंटें  तो एक बार में   दिल कई बार  टुकड़ों में बंटता रहा   बहन मेरी बहुत मुद्दतों के बाद मिली  आँख का पानी बहुत कुछ कहता रहा  वो जो इस बार मिला शर्मिंदा सा दिखा  इतने सालों तक दिल में क्या चलता रहा  वो तो छुपा हुआ था मन के आँगन में  उसे तलाशने यहाँ से वहां भटकता रहा  वो कब का यहाँ से जा चुका  फिर भी  उसका एहसास मेरे वजूद में महकता रहा                                                            ...

Hindi Ghazal : Mere Hathon Kee Lakeeron Men

ग़ज़ल   मेरे हाथों की लकीरों में तू बसा करता है  हम तो कहते हैं जमाना भी यही कहता है  तुमसे से बिछुड़े तो कहाँ तलक भटके शाख से टूट के पत्ता भी कहीं रहता है  तोड़ डाले भले सभी रिश्ते नाते उसने  साँसों  का  रिश्ता नहीं मिटा करता है आप आये हैं सिलसिला बनाये रखिये  आप से मिल के दिल में सुकूं रहता है   छू के तूने  हवाओं में रंग घोल दिया मेरे नगमों  में  वही रंग बसा रहता है  झूठ को सच कभी  दिखा नहीं सकता  आइना तो आइना है सच ही कहता है                                                                            - प्रदीप  गुप्ता  कॉपीराइट 2018

Heeral Trivedi : The Creative Wings That Raise Her Higher

Image
Yesterday evening. There was a big allurement to see red and blue moon, a rare event  seen only once in life time. But I settled to see Heeral Trivedi's solo exhibition at Tao Art Gallery Worli, and believe me I did not regret even once. Main focus of her work is woman and her empowerment,  she weaves this  in a surreal plain so it transport the viewer into her imagination which intrigues and inspires to dream. Heeral's  technique is slightly  different  and reminiscent of some of the master artists. I saw each canvas carefully, most of them brought alive with the happiness and freedom, each one is a beautiful visual story  in a contemporary style. She uses light brush strokes and romantic colors with utmost softness showing symbiotic bond with nature. She  is heavily inspired by the floral patterns in the engraving at Taj, she borrows those floral patterns and uses in most of the paintings on display.   From the sideli...
