Woh Shaam Kuch Ajeeb Thi

28 December 2008, the last Sunday of the year…. It was evening time…finished my tea and came to room expecting to study….but not gearing up for it… the thought process was consuming lot of (already limited) brain resource … what to study…should I read some research paper… or should read some text book… now I have to serious about studies…31st Dec’07 seemed to be just like yesterday…the time flied away… just similar to the quote in Munna Bhai MBBS, (“yeh karma to shuru hote hee khatam hota ye..”) ‘ye saal to shuru hote hee khatam ho raha hain…’ ..

the one of major resolution made last year was to wake up early morning everyday and study hard in the morning session only… Couldn’t follow it after writing blog on it… (Fragrance of a Morning)…..

Every year…when it comes year ending… lot of (my) time is spent on making new year resolutions… but never made any of it :) Just day before Sunday one of my friends told me… “My New Year resolution is to not to make any resolution this year…” …good one..... :) It reminded me a story.. Once a king asks his barber “whom do you shave”? Barber, “I shave only all those in the city who don’t shave themselves…” Now the question is does the barber shaves himself? ... If you say “yes,” then think, he shave himself, means barber is not suppose to shave himself… and if you say, “no”, again, then he should shave himself according to his statement… this is actually a famous Russell's paradox in math.. So…that resolution of no resolution leads similar to Russell’s paradox… so what to do… how I should plan for 2009….

How about studies that was supposed to take place in the evening… more than 20 mins passed … it was some wonderful evening… sky was clear and blue…sun was going far at west… the whether was pleasant cool… the evening breeze was not allowing me to be at study… finally decided to roam in the beautiful IISc campus on this beautiful evening.....


So… gave up thought of studies…took digital camera with me…. In this digital era... u may not be an expert at photography; still u can take good snaps with the help of these new cameras... So started wandering around the campus with digi-cam... looking at the sun through trees…was a splendid vista…

birds were returning home…


reached the main building… it was simply magnificent… the building was illuminated by the orange sunshine, the scene was making me speechless…

Then went to gymkhana… students were playing on the ground…


I was astounded…. I was just feeling that this evening is different…. on the verge of the new year…

So this is time to look back and look ahead both…. Evening like this is a bridge between the year passing by and the new year arriving soon.. New Year, new beginning, full of promise and opportunity and the chance to make dreams come true

It was dark when I returned back to room with pleasant mood… with loads of hopes about future….


I take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy new year… I wish you all a wonderful, exciting year ahead!!!

With Warm Wishes,

The upper reaches of the sea

Hello world!

It has been long time since I blogged... These days royal Sujit is really leaving royally in Hostel Complex of IISc. So, he is not getting time to blog... :D

Hey actually its not that life is really busy. But the thing is I don't have any specific topic to bore you with. However, I have something to share with you folks... (Its most likely that I have already told you about this... :) ) I traveled to Shanghai recently. I thought lets take this opportunity to blog...

So, today I am going to tell you a tale of my travel to China.

It so happened that one fine day GOD smiled and thought let Royal Sujit have some more royal life... and he made a small peg of WINE (ha ha ha...click on the word to know what it exactly means) for me. In short, star of riches was shining on me when my (research ???) paper got accepted in this workshop.

You see GOD just didn't stop there. He made my prof to ask me to travel to the city on the sea. ( Shanghai literally means: on the sea, the upper reaches of the sea, that is the title of this blog.. otherwise no relation between content and title... :) )

Shall I tell you one thing, when GOD is with you anything can happen. The conference people were not willing to give me original invitation letter. And here VISA consultant was asking for it. Finally I submitted documents without original invitation letter and without accommodation details... and my VISA got stamped...

So now no problem for travel. Lot of friends helped me in packing, preparing for the travel and off course for the main purpose of travel, presentation.

The flight took off @ 300am 16 DEC 2008. After one more experience of take off, (If you have not read my description of take off, you may read my blog Unprecedented). I slept. Somehow I woke up around 500am. Just opened the window and realized that sun is rising...it was amazing view..and was lucky to wake up at that moment.

I landed in Hong Kong... spent 3 hours on the air port.. So got to know this airport much better.. I reached Shanghai @ 420pm (local time, IST+2Hrs30mins). When came out of air port, realized that its really very cold outside, as stated on various web sites. Took taxi and reached the hotel. In the night, just roamed nearby hotel to find out that day here ends little early...

Reached in time to conference venue on 17 DEC...

Conference got inaugurated well...after lot of good talks, it was lunch time... was interacting with many people... It was fun to talk with people coming over there from various parts of the world... I had little trouble in understanding their accent and they too in understanding my poor and fast spoken English... however we overcame it soon...

After couple of tutorial talks by some of the top researchers, the day ended with grand dinner. ( FYI: I had to survive during day on fruits only.. all the food served was non-veg.. :( people were somewhat skeptical how one can be such stubborn... I guess, they should visit India to realize that still considerable fraction of people here eat only veg food.... I had carried MTR ready to eat packets...so food was not a big problem )

Now set for my presentation, which was on 18th December... I was constantly wondering whether I would be able to finish my talk in 13mins... (that was the time alloted to me). And I did it.... finished few seconds early...

On eve of 18th DEC, conf people organized a trip to 'Yanshan Deep Water Port'...This is harbor constructed (also phase 2 still going on, and the tour guide told us, this will be the biggest harbor in the world after phase two, expected to be finished in 2012) 32.5 km inside sea... This has enabled a lot of trade...there is a long bridge to this deep water port... I had seen a nice sunset while traveling to the port...


This day banquet was arranged near a river side...Huangpu river....it is a big river in Shanghai... so east part is refereed as Pudong (dong in Chinese is east, Pu is taken from river name) and west is Puxi (xi - west)

The night time in Shanghai is really amazing... the lightning... the buildings.... the bund area near Huangpu river is astounding in the night time... roaming on pedestrian roads in night time is surely a wonderful experience...


I have not explored any of food items.... So can't comment on that...

On 20th we visited few museums in Shanghai.... with one museum is planning urban museum... which shows how they planned and developed Shanghai in 20 yrs...

We may find that this, the city above sea, is not as clean as US cities... there are some slum areas... but it is constantly improving... and shown to the world that they can progress fast in short span of time... they have targets for developments... and achieving them...

In India many times we say we want to make Mumbai as Shanghai...I think we can make change happen....but we have to work much harder....

On my last day in the city, I traveled back to airport in Maglev...this is magnetic train, covers distance of 30 km in just over 7 mins...with maximum speed of 431 kmph... Traveling through Maglev was simply superb....

So I returned early morning on 21st December with loads of memories from China....

Zero and GOD

Sometimes we do some fundamental mistakes..But what are this fundamentals...How are they defined...Don't you sometimes feel that these fundamentals are themselves fundamentally wrong....

Now, let me clear the hell I am talking about...
Consider the figure drawn here...
Its basically I had drawn a unit square.



I want to reach from A to C. I travel from A to B and then take upward turn and travel B to C. I call this path as P0. Along path P0, I would travel distance 2.

Now suppose, next day, I would explore another path. I will travel from A to A1, then I turn upwards and travel A1-B1, B1-C1,C1-C. I call this path P1. Again if you see, I have to travel distance 2 along P1.

On third day I decide to travel A-A2,A2-B2,B2-C2,C2-B1,B1-D2,D2-E2,E2-F2,F2-C. I call this path P2. Still I am traveling distance of 2. Like wise I would define my path on (n-1)^th day as Pn. I hope u got how it would be like. It would travel horizontally half the distance I had traveled horizontally on (n-2)^th day, then upwards to touch line A-C. Then again right turn...and so on.

If you have understood my path Pn, you would notice that, along Pn I would travel distance 2 for any n. But as n tends to infinity, i.e. Limit n -> infinity Pn will converge to line segment AC. So every day I will travel distance 2 but when if I travel along AC, I will be traveling sqrt 2. Mathematically,

Length(Pn) = 2 for each n. So, Lim n-> infinity Length(Pn) = 2.
Also, Lim n-> infinity Pn = AC and Length(AC) = sqrt 2.

Now, that's the point. One way I am traveling distance 2. And if I converge path Pn to AC, as AC is sqrt 2, I am traveling sqrt 2 in limit though traveling 2 every time.

So something wrong. :( . Ya, there is fundamental blunder in this. I am assuming,

Lim n-> infinity Length(Pn) = Length(Lim n-> infinity Pn ).

This Lim interchange business is not allowed here. But y?
I feel we define our things so that previously defined things don't fail. If they fail, then we re-define new operations . Mathematicians will give big explanations for this....but y should i trust them.

Neways, one funny idea came out of my discussion with my lab mate, we allow this Lim interchange business...then, we will get,

sqrt 2 = 2.

Okey, Assume that, it is true. So, squaring both sides,

2 = 4 and dividing both sides by 2, we get
1 = 2 and adding n to both sides,
n + 1 = n + 2.

That is all integers are same. So all mathematics developed to construct rationals and reals will say all numbers are same. That is everything is zero, with which whole things started. So everything is zero. By starting with zero and creating all mess, we end up in zero.

I do remember, when I was kid, there used to a TV serial named Mahabharat.
Its starting always used to say

"Main shoonya hoon. Sab shoonya se suru hota hain. .....Aur sab shoonya mehee vilin hoga."

Zero is GOD. Everything started from him and finally it will evolve to merge into zero.

(Thought in this post is my personal and it is not
precise. Here I am just sharing it with the world.
I am not here to defend it. If you have any comments, do post comments and no personal mails.)

Any way, I thought I will wish you all happy Independence day, one day in advance. (Some may be busy in celebrating long week end..some may not have i-net access....rest anyway won't mind)

This is our 61st Independence Day!
Freedom is not a Right but a Feeling!

To Be Or Not To Be

The title may sound that I am gonna to be philosophical in this blog...
Or is royalsujit confused? Not exactly...

I just want you to ponder over...
You might have thought over this...might have answer to this....
I am putting it here....because I thought, just in case if you have not given a thought..you should!

By now, you must be wondering what the hell I am talking about?

It so happened that, few days back, I received one mail....the message was that you should be proud to be an Indian because:
"X% of NASA scientist are Indians. Y% of Microsoft employees are Indians.....". And many other such statistics....Also, it contained glory of Indian History....How India was a great country? How we had eminent personalities...starting from Ayabhatta to Ramanujan...And list was endless....


Yes, I was, am, and will be proud to be an Indian. The question is should I be happy with that? should I be contented with these facts? Have we wondered, in spite of being the second largest population wise country...how many noble laureates we have given to the world? How many field medalists? How many Olympics medals?What if the most of those X% scientist work for ISRO?Why not those we can have an organization which will give the operating system to the world...

We are working for MS...writing codes for them to build OS..and finally we are the ones who will be purchasing it...It has been more than 60 years, after independence...still we are developing country..not a developed one....

Ya, I know there can be questioning/counter questioning to this...Sure....The difference in salaries..kind of working environment people getting in FOREIGN countries....system over there....Many facts are there....and the answers are not simple...After all everybody has his own priorities....

Here I am not for criticizing anybody..I don't want to blame ..nor do I want to praise anybody...

Just I want everybody to mull over "should I be contented with the glorious facts about the India? Or not to be just contented with it..but should contribute in someway that will help the country grow...thrive for better and better India....the Bharat..."

Driving to Shivanasamudra

"Are Dost, week end ko nandi hills ghumne chalna hain kya?"
"Haan chal sakte hain, bolo chalna hain kya?Last moment cancel mat karo...mera mood kharab karoge..."
"Are nahi yaar, pakka chalnege...bahot din se baher ghumne nahi gaya.."
"To chal sakte hain, I will come to IISc, on sat aur raat me niklenge 4o'clock..aaram se jayenge..."
"Yep, done.."
Thus we planned for Nandi Hills on Sunday morning.
After some time, dost called me back,
"Are soon"
"Bol"
"Are How about going to Shivanasamudra ? Nandi hills ja chuke hain hum pahele bhi"
"Kitna Door hain"
"120 km"
"hmm.."
Then I searched for Shivanasamudra on google. I had herd of this place, but never planned to visit. Now I was seeing nice pictures of water falls on net.

"Yeah, we should visit this place man..bol tuze koi prb nahi na dost..."
"Are nahi yaar..muze bhi kuch naya try out karna hain isliye to suggest kiya"
"Okey done. We will start around 400-430...and may be back by late evening.."
"Thoda jaldi niklenge bhai..taki uder enjoy karne ke liye time milega.."
"Okey..to pakka, this saturday night we will decide when to leave."

Thus my dost and me planned for 'Shivanasamudra falls on Sunday'.

it was hardly 3/4th day trip, so nothing much to manage. Dost made his bike ready to drive.
My friend gave me his digi cam with 10X optical zoom to take snaps. We took some bingo (wafers) and two bottles of water. Thats it. Last thing was to make sure we reach properly on NH 209, as Shivanasamudra falls are located around 120kms south-west from Bangalore on NH 209 in Mandy district of Karnataka.
This era of Internet had made our lives easier. We could see our all route from my friends home to destination on-line.
It was almost 200 am. Set to go. Dost said, "ab sone ka kyon, aur thodi der me to niklana hain.."
"are nahi yaar, thoda so lete hain,...atcha rahega..."
"main to 245 ko uth jato hoon...330 ko niklenge.."
"k...main 300 baje utheta hoon..wasie bhi ready hona sequential hoga to dono ko ek sath uthke phayada nahi...aur suru ke half main drive karoonga..fir next half u...
while returning, it will be reverse. To pahele muze drive karna hain to muze thodi jada neend lene de"
"OKs..koi problem nahi"
"Chalo good night then."

"Abe sale uthe, 330 ho gaye...too bada 245 ko uthne kee batye kar raha tha.."
"yaar 5 mins.."
"nahi..uth...nahi to late ho jayenge hum.."
"5 mins yaar..."
"Okey fir main pahele taya ho jata hoon.."

We made sure that we are not carrying any valuables apart from cell phones..
And started from his room at sharp 410. Approximately 40 mins delayed from schedule.

Had some tea and now charged up for driving.
I just sped up to 89kmph..and crrrr.....all of a sudden there was a speed breaker...
it was night mare in that dark to control the raised speed...
but somehow it got managed...thank GOD...
My dost used his tongue freely to praise Bangalore roads...
I really wonder why they don't put signs for speed breakers....other wise it might turn out to be
life breaker for somebody....I don't thing driving at that speed is crazy..if provided roads are good and driver is confident...about driving as well as vehicle...

Anyways, decided hence forth no much raise inside dark....unless road is clearly visible...

Okey we now continued to catch the NH 209...
I was excited about driving on NH...after long time it was ride for me on bike outside city...

Outer ring road was nice to drive on.... we were on Kankanpura road and finally we on NH...
There was no much rush...
It happened that, I was following a car...Don't know where it was going..but it was also on NH209..and driving as fast as we were traveling...
Hey it was good advantage now for us...
Bike high beams were insufficient to learn the road faster....
so we were limited in 70's....but this car's high beam were so powerful, we could see far long than just with bike headlights...So, we raced the car...and obviously he increased the speed...as what was intended...and he overtook us...and now he started driving in 80's..so i increased the distance between us and i also went in 80's...it was nice road and was completely comfortable to drive at that speed...the car was helping us to drive due to his powerful beams...

Now I was completely engrossed in driving...I was completely unaware of the rest of the world..I was knowing only driving...and wished to race higher and higher speed...but everything should be in control...I was speeding up and so do the car...
I touched 97kmph...my highest speed on bike....was thrilled to touch 100...waned to see 3 digit number on speedometer... but..but hard luck...the car started showing right indicator...and was slowing down....I had no option to slow down...Finally car took the turn...I was driving now in 70's and sometimes in 80's...but still it was dark...the clarity of the road was limited...
so driving in 80's..then came a straight road...it was much more clear...and I was feeling like..I am on runway and driving a plane...no obstacles....that's it....accelerated to full extent...and touched 99kmph.... completely concentrated...and shit...almost a km long...a vehicle was just standing in the middle of left half of the road....



So I missed the target again....Anyways...now Kakanpura, one town on the way was nearby...
so no point in racing....
just came down in 60's....driving in 60's is also has it's own fun...you can enjoy the surroundings...feel the freshness of early morning...finally had to give dost a chance to drive..
We took small break in Kakanpura..had tea...and positions interchanged...



It was 710, when we reached Gaganachukki falls...
It was beautiful scenery around. The hight of the fall is around 1000 ft and there is no way to go below it...still we enjoyed the water fall from distance..the scenery surrounding the waterfall....

Our feelings were mixed....whether it was worth to travel t this place 120km away...
water was not roaring as we had seen in the snaps...
Also we were now hungry and started hunting for food...
Some local person came asking for bike parking charges...
he said its too early to get any food item here...
we asked him, "Is there anything else to see here..."

He said, "This is Gaganachukki falls, why don't you go and see Bharachukki falls, its you go back to NH...take left and around 10-12 km from there, you wil reach Bharachukki falls.."
"Which falls?"
"Bharachukki "...
"Thanks boss..."

"Are dost, chalo abhi itna doot aaye hain to woh bhi dekh lenege.."
"Haan..waise bhi hume jaldi kaha hain"

So we reached the bharachukki falls...
It was amazing...and as it had not rained yet this year, the water flow was not roaring type...
We enjoyed walking on rocks in water...We were lucky in that sense that we could walk there..


Finally we reached from where we could not walk under the main water fall..but there were few boatmen...who were willing to take you under the water fall through there boats with nominal charge...

It was very enjoying to travel through boats.....the water was cold and fresh...
it was fun to put hands inside water...and playing with it...So finally we reached the destination...
The water was bellowing...the flow was thick...it was looking like doodhganga is coming to planet earth from heaven...it was giving feeling that energy is flowing to us...with no delay..



i just went below it to drink the zeal..to get bath with the fall...
I don't think I will be able to explain those moments in words...I was not me..I was just subsumed to nature...

Few days back somebody asked me what is enjoyment...?
I am not sure how to answer this question..but surely the state of mind I had in those few moments..was surely enjoyable...

Now it was time to turn back...

The return journey was also enjoyable..had reached new peak of my driving speed...
I drove back as fast as 107kmph.....that was also one of most enjoyable moment...when I was driving at that speed..with full control over my driving...

Finally we came back to real world..with more energy..more enthusiasm...
more vigor...

Fragrance of a Morning

Working late nights and waking up late is quite common in IISc...
And I was not exception to this...

Many times I decided to change the schedule to day time...
And u must have expected, could not implement it for long time...till, till I implemented it finally...

Still there was a problem, as I was not used to this kinda schedule for long time..
(haan..in my school days I used to wake up early @ 530am regularly)
I used to feel drowsy..i use to walk towards lab half sleep...
Slowly, my body clock started getting used to this new schedule..

That day, I woke up before alarm...
had nice bath...and was feeling very fresh...

Just had daily pooja and decided I will go immediately...
it was hardly 645...

So took, my bag and started walking to lab...

The campus was getting bathed in the 'nesara', the rays of morning sun
( nesara is Kannada word for morning sun rays...
I came to know this because we have one restaurant in our campus named 'nesara')
It was giving a feeling like GOD is painting planet earth...
the rays were like strokes of HIS brush...The scene was very amazing...
There were lots of flowers on road...might be different shades in the HIS
painting....The trees were blossomed with flowers...
The birds were coming out of their houses..they were singing there songs...
I say, rather GOD was playing music in back ground while painting the beautiful
planet earth...

The morning was very very energizing..rejuvenating...
And there was freshness in the air, in the morning breeze...
and it was like I was smelling the freshness...
The morning had its own fragrance...

That day onwards I realized that....morning has its own fragrance..it's own aroma
and scent of a morning is always cheerful, giving freshness..

It's just that we have to smell it..feel it...

Unprecedented Part 2

(This is in continuation of Unprecedented )
Plane was climbing higher and higher cutting through the clouds...
Now it got sufficient altitude...

It bent right, to take right turn...
(Bangalore is south of Delhi and when craft took off, it was facing the East..)
That turn..that turn made that evening unforgettable...
made me witness of unprecedented event in my life...
I could clearly see the sun rising from west...
As plane was ascending, sun was rising...
I just thought it is simply a miracle...
I was stunned for long time....
After some time....
sun reached was like steady
in his position...and then it set very slowly...
it was like elongated sun set...very elongated...


Now technical part of it...
It is not a miracle..
As altitude of the craft was increasing...my horizon radius was increasing...
and it was increasing faster than the sun was going west with respect to plane...
So relative to me, the sun was moving east...or u can say I was catching the sun...
Pink Floyd's Time song says:
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking

But I can say I caught the sun...
leave fun part of it...

Now once plane reached the stable height from the ground...
my horizon was fixed...and now its radius was not increasing...
so sun started setting.
But why did I observe elongated sun set?
There is also technical reason...Its not that sun set at higher
altitude is prolonged...

As it was winter, daskhinayan of the sun was going on...
so sun was relatively towards south...
The day length increases as we go to south in winter (winter in India)
I was moving towards south, as day length was more, or
we can say at place A, south to place B, will be having sun set time later than the sun set time at place B.
the sun was expected to be in sky at place A even though it had set at B.

Few more such things which might be possible:
If you are flying west, at sufficiently faster speed, you might really feel like sun
has risen from the west for complete journey.
If you are going west, you might experience sun set at east...
and prolonged sun rise is also possible..


Finally the sun set that day...
but it left its traces permanently into my memory...Like a line carved on a stone...
Though technically it is not any surprise...
it was an unprecedented event in my life..and not sure whether I will be able to see this things again?
When I will be able to experience again?

I Am What I Am

Unprecedented

It was Sunday in cold winter. I was in Delhi for short visit. I had been on flight few times, still I am always excited about the take off..
That day, flight was at 545 pm from Delhi to Bangalore.
I reached airport that day well in advance...wanted to make sure that I will get
window sit. I approached the counter to get my boarding pass....

The lady at the counter checked my ticket and asked, "Any preference sir?".
"Yes, please give me window sit", me.
"Sure", the lady.
Yeah...so I got the window sit.

Now, I had to kill almost one and half hour ...
Every moment was like an hour...
Was checking for boarding call for me every 5 minutes....
In between watching females/gals (;)) roaming here and there...

Finally they announced the boarding call...
I immediately went to gate number 2...
and within few minutes I was on my sit...overwhelmed about the take off.
Just was looking outside the window...
On west side horizon I saw the sun was sinking..
I was just watching him descending @ west...
West horizon was full of orange and saffron color....
I was in completely in a different world...
the sun has said good bye...I just happened to salute him...

"Excuse me sir, can you please put on seat belt please?", air hostess on board...
I was back to reality...
"Yes, Thanks!!"
And normal instruction set on flight was being announced while plane was moving towards airstrip.

Plane took a turn,
I was not able to see the saffron horizon after the sun-set, as plane was headed east...
Then slowly plane came on the runway...

Now plane geared up ..all wings ready...crafts engine is roaring....
and booooooooooom..
Within few seconds it got the speed...
The building were going backwards at very high speed...
Ecstasy of take off was at its peak and the plane was in the air...
I lost the sensation of the speed...
it was feeling of void between me and earth...
but it was giving a nice feeling...
I guess some sort of piece of mind...
(Its just like a single cycle of saw tooth wave..)

Remaining part of this will be posted in Part 2.

I Am What I Am

Time

Hello everybody,

These are lyrics of song 'time' by Pink Floyd. Though these are easily available on net, to share it with folks here....

...and have your comments on the lyrics....actually not on the lyrics
but how u feel after reading this lyrics?
Honestly, when I heard this, I felt,
R I have to think whether my life is also becoming like this or what?
I liked this line most : No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun...
(Does not mean it happened with me ;) )

So here is the song,

Lyrics

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees

I am what I am!

Hello Everybody,
Welcome to my blog...!!!

There is huge scope for improving my writing skills as well as typing speed...
So, I really wonder right now how much I will blog regularly...
But soon or later, I will be....Neways, let me post my first blog

What I found that many people in this world try to project themselves to be as individuals
they would like to be rather than what they are.

Definitely, everybody should always pursuit to be an person which is ideal for himself or herself...
but should not try to project self as that person even though he/she is not...

That's why my display name is I am what I am....
