For the past few days my psychotic mind was dwelling on the question why it is always necessary for transient variable to be in my life. Why am I not complete without any transient variables? What is completeness? I did some mental masturbation on this for four painful days and the answer seems to come out quite interesting. Of course there is a hell a lot of difference in realizing the answer and living in the real world. It’s difficult to be adhesive and still be cohesive but let me see where I go with this. So here it goes. I never read any books until I got my answer but I came back to my desk to read some contextual articles to extend my cognitive conclusions...
You must find your own answers.. like I have done with my own rules herein.
This is also an example to say when you are deeply dwelled in the world of analytics or physics or mathematics beyond the realm of their material explanations it leads to a wonderful spiritual experience. So yes analytics is one of the drivers for my spirituality now ..
So here it goes…..
If you remove a part from infinity or add a part to infinity, still what remains is infinity
-The Isha Upanishad or Yajurveda
My Equation for completeness---
So say X + Y = 5
2 + 3 = 5
5 is incomplete by 5 for 10 and 10 is incomplete by another 10 for 20. Therefore no equation can substantiate the ‘complete’. A variable can only be merged with the complete.
For him who owns and or is infinity, Transfinite and complete, giving something doesn’t make him incomplete or less than infinity or little less than transfinite. He is still complete and transfinite.They say whole is something else than the individual sum of parts. because summing up is a meaningless procedure, whereas the whole-part relationship is meaningful. Summing takes its meaning because we have zero as a referrence point. Imagine that as an arbitrary point in the space and you can start your own scale of measurments. Its like none of us is smart than all of us put together, so think what all of universes put together could become. Therefore taking out a quantity from the whole - the whole hasnt decreased. Your ability to measure, comprehend, hold etc has reduced. Thats all. Absolute - Anything is always > anything always. --Vasanth
For him who has 1 and needs another one and another one and another 100 AND MORE. No 100's will satisfy him because it is not really the 100's that he wants. What he wants is that which is does not have. And that what he has is always incomplete.
For him therefore Absoluted + anything is still < absolute always
So there you go, these are my answers. therfore i already know that all the variables are taransient,incomplete with referrece to absolute by nature and fleeting because it is with respect to a start point and by such referrence always needs to have another referrence point. there is nothing called as temperary or permanent the only "thing" that is permanent, complete, truth is the space. I call him as Krishna. so the only path to complete bliss, happiness where these is nothing called as "sorrow" or "pain" or "happiness" ( materialitically) there exists no illusion but just the truth is in the fact of merging yourself with the complete. Being completely aware of your inner self, being constantly seraching yourself and paving your way to merge in the complete is the true path!!!! yes it sounds very philosophical but when you are faced with this question in your life do remember these words!!!.
Just when you thought that this job was not giving that kick and money that you wanted, say you changed your job and went on changing your job untill the ground broke and the questions errupted like a volacnoe in your mind that which job wuld give me the ultimate happiness that i want? the question you must ask is what is happiness!!!!!!! what is truth? what is making me so restless? how many billion dollars do i need to be happy? how may girfirends do i need to be happy? and so on and you will find that a million questions and conginitve conlficts will surface.
its good to live in a state of conginitve confusion untill you find your own answers !!
In addition to these, I read some really good articles by a mathematician and I’m calling out the abstract for your extended reading, though complicated but very interesting.
Here is one intresting article i read
Franklin Merrell-Wolff's theory on what is infinity, Space, point and zero?
Just as in mathematics there are infinitudes of higher orders infinitely transcending lower infinities, so it is in the Transcendent World . . .I have found an Infinite World, and then another Infinite consuming the first. . .It is an Infinity of some higher order, that is an INFINITY which comprehends lesser Infinities .
Upon zero we build our systems of reference,
Which is merely a way of saying that with nothing as a center we have the fulcrum for control of all elaborations in form . . . The pure 'I' is the zero-point of organized consciousness. This first ego-lessness, this bare point-I, is then transformed into the Space-I. "The Transcendent 'I' is as much a space as a point. (I’d like to call out here the correlation between disparate philosophies. Science says to attain speed of light the particle must have no mass. Spirituality says to attain enlightenment one must have no ego, no desire etc etc etc )
Its mathematical symbol would be both (zero) and (infinity). Yet in the High Indifference, this self blows out leaving only Consciousness- Without-An-Object (and Without-A-Subject). "Consciousness-Without-An- Object is the universal solvent within which the centers of tension, or objects, have their field of play. All tendencies in that play is counter-balanced by its counter-tendency, the culminating effect being an expression equated to zero.
It is zero that symbolizes the durable Reality, or Consciousness-Without-An-Object. This is the higher sense of zero or emptiness, symbolizing the cancellation of the positive and negative polarizations corresponding to the Universe and Nirvana Wolff coined the term 'inverse cognitions' to describe cognitions polarized in the opposite sense as objective cognitions, i.e. toward the Nirvanic.
"Awareness of the absence of objects, in its purity, is not cognition of an object, but another form of consciousness that is not concerned with objects. However, a reflection of this state of consciousness may be produced so that a special cognition arises, of such a nature that its content is definable as the inverse of all objects. .
I hope these raise a lot of cognitive questions in your mind, may you be drawn towards the truth and complete – Vasanth.

Jodha Akbar, Chidambarm’s Budget and the nuclear deal
Marvas request to the king to wave the taxes in the dry prone region - Movie
Business Lobby asking tax wavers and exemptions with the finance minister
Sugarcane farmers asking for price support – Vidharba farmer suicide.
Ajmer daughter given to Akbar as a part of Diplomatic card to save the state of bloody war or even be for the sake of fear - Movie
US wanting the nuclear deal to go through with India and china’s opposition to it; needless to say the US intentions are quite ubiquitous. Left equivocal opposition sinning almost the same raga in the same way as china does!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tolerance of the king morphed by historic interpreters; always seen on religious scale by the respective clergies. – Movie.
Politicians and vested interests influence the ban on movie on the grounds of historic discrepancies. Though the discrepancy is highly debatable like any other historic events, the motto seems to be to secure the interest of divide and rule.
Tolerance is the way forward says the king. – Movie
Everybody says that realizing and following it is a different story.
The king is so far from the ground facts and makes a disastrous decision, doesn’t have the time and patience to understand the vaasthavikta (Ground reality) – Movie
Despite the much fashioned open door policy in our companies, Management is so up and blind to see the ground realities. In other words “Vaasthaviktha” of a process is often not understood accurately by the top brass while they influence or make decisions on such processes. Not even are the voices heard from the ground force. Later on the management tries to clean the stink of not knowing the facts.
Analyst’s role to recommend the king of taking the right decision based on reality / data & in the wake of all the factual situations
Today we look at our personal and vested interests and see whats in it for me than to see whats in it for the organization. NO doubt one needs to look out for what he gets but not by undermining / influencing the company strategy.
King is so far from the facts – doesn’t have the time and patience to understand the vaasthavikta (Ground reality)
National security integrity and sovereignty stands topmost above all under all circumstances for each of the elected representative. - Movie
The integrity of the electoral constituency and its integrity is all that matters today.
Ex - Nandigram, Vidharbha, a lot more political game frames.
Three things run big. Politics (Power and money), religion, Love and all of them supersede the rest.
Is history to be interpreted or learnt as a collection of facts?
Can a history have different versions?
Would an event be anything other than true?
In probability theory an event can either be true or false, if we equate history as an event in the past, it can only be one the same event can’t be two, and either it has to be a separate event not true to the other.
What is a nation?
What unites the country?
I’ll leave this for you to ponder.

BANG BANG BANG I'm BACK from DESERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oomph martini, beer, food, ***, tandoor, music, coffee, chats, party, loafing, meeting, …., blogging etc etc etc all was under siege while I agreed to sacrifice em for learning advanced analytical techniques from profound professors at www.businessanalytics.in. for the last four months. Feels like I just came out of vacation in desert and had excess “khaghurs”
It was more like a zipped executive MBA in statistics in just 3 months. For about every hour that was taught I was supposed to put in at least 6 hours to digest them. Well it is worth it, I realized the fact that the analytics just does not end with Business Intelligence tools.
While I smoke this night and around my bed lies fat books that I carry along with me to office every day. Every tiny time I get I try to turn over some pages only to realize that 24 hours is not enough to gain expertise in the subject. It’s just not the statistical part that’s throttling me, to add to it I got to learn playing with SAS. Oh yeah it’s easy it’s more of English than Greek and Latin but practicing it all with little time while I burn the midnight oil, lol I feel I’m becoming a nerd and no one would marry me….
My birthday passed by, it was a very interesting date with the date and the data that day while I dined with colleagues. Needless to say gifts cheered me a little while I was trying to fight my case with the bank to get my big cheque en-cashed, it is still hanging in the air, thanks to strikes, bundhs, kotak and all the hopeless banking services
Lets get to the point now, hmmm I don’t seriously know where to start, so many things running in my mind.. Well let me put it this way, post the analytics class, and trying to relate it back to my work god help all the companies there is such a great disjoint in what we do and what we are suppose to do. I reiterate my point as –
Where the business goal transcends teams, cultures, geography;
Where exists harmonized processes within a cross functional Analytical Team;
Where the outputs of the team are successfully amalgamated with the interest of the stakeholders
Where recommendations come out from the depth of data blended with business sense and logic;
Where tireless striving on actions stretches its arms towards perfection and success countering all the internal and external forces;
Where the team / Organization is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought
And action by rationalists;
Into that heaven of analytics, oh my Father, let my country and my organization awake.
Shall start a new tide of analytical boredom soon until then keep dripping and sipping fun

Business week piece on R&D
Untill I get off the work Pressure, an interesting piece from BusinessWeek.
Why are companies slow to make full use of their offshore brainpower? Because managing a globally integrated product-development team is difficult. One obstacle is "not invented here" syndrome: Developers at headquarters tend to look down on suggestions from offshore affiliates. Internal competition between different R&D teams within the same company remains rife.On top of this, many companies lack harmonized work processes and systems,and few have enough staff with international experience. The bottom line: "Few companies are currently reaping the gains from this globalization," ---Booz Allen-INSEAD stated.

The Generic BI Architecture
The chart below shows more or less an architecture of Busines Intelligence delivery right from the data generations Stage to the Report Generation & decision Support. The flowchart is divided into 3 phases, Phase1,Phase2,Phase3. I shall discuss Each of them very briefly (Click on the pictures for better viewing of the text in the diagram)
• The phase 1 of the diagram involves collecting the Transaction data from various operational data sources (ODS) that are deemed essential for records storage by the business.
• The data from all these various sources is extracted to one region for further manipulation. This is a very complex region where the data is brought on platform from various sources.
• Here the data may be extracted real time, hourly basis, daily, weekly monthly etc depending on the business need & other constraints.
• The phase 2 starts when all the data that is in the single platform is then made into a single format & made relevant in terms of removing all the inconsistency that may be prevailing.
• Again even this complex process is extremely important & is termed as data integration.
• Once the data is made consistent it is further normalized as per certain rules & standards of data warehousing & as required by the business.
• The data is stored constantly in the Data warehouse & is segregated in to different tables for relevance while storing.
• There are so many other complex processes involved here & in the previous phases, I wouldn’t be going deep into it.
• Once the data storage part is complete then comes the reporting part.
• Cubes are created for faster retrieval from the data warehouse & to view its multidimensionality.
• Data marts are created so that the relevant stakeholders can extract the data or do reporting from the data relevant only to their functional unit.
• Scorecards, Dashboards, & other reporting can be done directly from data warehouse or from data marts or from cubes as may be the need.
• The reporting part also involves a certain amount of analytics but most of this is very limited. Unless the end user is very well versed with the OLAP tool, data, analytics a very good outcome for supporting ad-hoc & complex business decisions become very difficult & most of the BI projects are not able to deliver this. This not only due to the tool but also due to several other factors. Thus versatility needed for the analytics team gets hampered & thereby the BI project outcome. All the million dollars go in a ditch.

The bewildered state of a Business Analyst!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Time again I have tried to emphasize what a business analyst is & should be doing. In my previous topic “Critical Skills a Business Analyst must have” I have given a framework on what is expected of BA based on the Gartner theory & industry expectations. It’s sad to see most of the generation getting swayed by terms & jargons & trying finding what they want in the wrong place & at last ending up smelling socks. Well the industry in the mother of all the confusions!! For those of you who still feel that Business Analyst is obscure, I think this should help.
• Systems analysts who generally analyze the requirements & thereby find the system needs to fulfill such requirements. Act as business/system liaison between business and application developers.
•Requirements analysts - who generally do the requirements elicitation & understand what people say and to detect what they might be hesitant to say blah blah blah
• Business system analysts these are generally the victims formed by those companies who believe in MPD (Multiple personality disorder) & cost cutting. They want you to do both the work of requirement & system analyst & a little of other things also until you go completely mad & run out of the company heels over head. Oh well did you think the fancy title is good? Try your luck.
• I love this role for all its challenges involved in practicing & living the unbridled forces that influence business. Simply put Business analysts are responsible for understanding the business and making recommendations for sustainability, risk mitigations, Business improvement & profits blah blah blah
For those of you who need a strong dosage of analytics I’d recommend be sure you understand what continuous & discrete data is, before you click on www.businessanalytics.in
For those of you who think have strong appetite for Greek & Latin with all the animation in between, if you would like to work in a warehouse & have the nerve to load & unload bulks of data & for more gyaan on this log on to http://www.keysoft.co.in/
Disclaimer - Both the institutes train in different domains, please exercise diligence before enrolling yourself into these & first decide which one you fit in.

Butterfly Says Happy Diwali To you !!!!!!
”One day, a small opening appeared on a cocoon; a man sat and watched for the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then, it seems to stop making any progress.It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could not go any further.So the man decided to help the butterfly: he took a pair of scissors and opened the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily.But it had a withered body, it was tiny and shrivelled wings.The man continued to watch because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would open, enlarge and expand, to be able to support the butterfly’s body, and become firm. Neither happened!In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a withered body and shrivelled wings. It never was able to fly. What the man, in his kindness and his goodwill did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening, were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings, so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon. Sometimes, struggles are exactly what we need in our life.If God allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been. Never been able to fly.
I asked for Strength...
And God gave me difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for Wisdom...
And God gave me Problems to solve.
I asked for prosperity...
And God gave me a Brain and Brawn to work.
I asked for Courage…..
And God gave me obstacles to overcome.
I asked for Love...
And God gave me Troubled people to help.
I asked for Favors...
And God gave me Opportunities.
“I received nothing I wanted...
But I received everything I needed."
Live life without fear, confront all obstacles and evince that you can overcome them.
“I hope this little message on this Diwali Season would bring in the understanding that why we come across difficult situations in our life before we reach our ultimate destination............”I wish u a very HAPPY DIWALI to you and to your family members !!
May god bless this country, with peace & prosperity – Data Smith
