Photography = Skill + Timing + Luck

Being there at that very moment is more important than which camera you are using, which reinstate the fact that anyone with a reasonable sense of aesthetics can be a good photographer. #theywalkamile #insearchofwater

A lesson from a drifting feather!

So, while he was walking slowly, lost in casual thoughts suddenly a floating white feather caught his attention, it was tiny but was in its full glory and was slowly drifting in light breeze towards a nearby fountain in a gravity defying act. Anyway it gracefully landed on the clear sheet of overflowing water and suddely its motion was seized but only for a moment, it was like feather finally found its ground only to realise it was a slipping, drifting ground again. It appeared that this otherwise serious flowing water sheet was happy to receive that feather friend. Though in a fraction of second that feather was mobile again with the flow of water, only to reach its next destination. Possibly "keep drifting effortlessly" was mantra by which feather was living, it was full of life in its lifelessness, and possibly it touched the conscience somewere leaving a life lesson - a lesson of effortlessness even in its full dignity, even in its constant motion!

An autonomous "data system" inspired by "life system" would look something like this-

Only if you could read between the megabytes!


We are probably living in the best times of history when it comes to freedom of knowledge. In very near future a storm of data is going to overtake individual supremacy and idiosyncrasies and going to demolish hard earned monopoly of handful of experts. Knowledge in form of data was never in such an abundance and never so easily accessible. Lets make use of it in best way possible.

A DATA SYSTEM INSPIRED BY LIFE SYSTEM  
- Has to be replicable  
- Has to be a Non
- Linear System  
- Has to be a Non-coplaner System  
- With a Beginning and End  
- Should mimic external environment without any  actual physical threat  
- Pyramid as building block with vital information  at its Tip and Archive at its base  
- Archive plane further arranged in segments of  24 or 54  
- Information tissue cubes made of 6 Pyramids  joined at Tip  
- Volume of Tissue cube arranged in 3d Grid  
- Vital information distributed in space  
- An auto learning system  
- Data mining with sixth sense filtering  
- With Functionally adapted parts  - Varying activity intensity  
- Available on Demand  - Customisable to Client's need without  intervention  
- Waste generation (junk) to maintain the  envisaged size of system  
- Idle period to revive and conserve energy  
- Alerts and Filters are key to system's tangible  success
- A mirror backup data-set-" Advantage over living  system"


Future of Data mining and Data analysis is here!
