Hurray! It's scala today

I think that one must be very fortunate to meet so many good people in every walk of their life. It is so wonderful if some of them can make you to listen and guide you. And I love to spend my time with them, especially if they have a command over the language. One of my college professors is of that kind.

I met him recently and we were talking about so many things - politics, sports, religion... somewhere he made this comment: "You ought to share - rather throw - your thoughts and knowledge at someone's mind whenever you get a chance, doesn't matter whether that person need it now or not. Because our 'remembering' system has tremendous power and can recollect things which you believe you never 'registered'. It could be your thought that might be used somewhere on some other day"

I went home after a long discussion with him. And I was checking Scala

The Power Game

Even if you count from the Homo sapiens time, it has been half a million years and from the caveman life to the one who attempts to control the universe, the progress is tremendous. A number of struggles that we have overcome are unimaginable. I am still not convinced whether all these are part of the Divine plan or the Nature adjusts (if at all something is required) itself to any change that takes place in it. As long as we believe in science, we can truly appreciate our power and the things we have achieved. The oldest of the power struggles can be the one between men and women. It is perhaps so subtle that we can’t even call it a power struggle. While we manage to fight against external things, this is something happening in our own race, and we haven’t had an answer yet. A coffee selling 10 times costlier than the price of it in a decade ago may mean the coffee price has been raised. But when you compare it with the price of everything, it is relatively the same.
