Decision from philosophical, mathematical and statistical is concerned with identifying the values, uncertainties and other issues relevant in a given situation, its rationaltity and the resulting optimal decision..

Decision, although almost the most important step that we all have to take now and then, is a very difficult task. Many a time we're not able to take a stance and we fall simply flat on our feet. Be it supporting someone or be it taking sides, judging is a big issue when it is really our own matter. 


We ponder, being completely oblivious of the fact that someone may be waiting for our decision, may be small one. At times we do come to a conclusion but then? May be its not the one we should have come to. May be just for the sake of taking a decision and making others feel that we have the ability to come to a consensus, we take a decision, sometimes a really foolish one but does that serve our purpose? No. See the answer is right in front of us. But still we jump into vague conclusions.


Though we consider ourselves to be brave, mature, sensible creatures we do make mistakes, with a hope to learning from them and we do to some extent. But at a certain point in time we need to overcome this. We are expected to take a decision and in most cases correct ones, be it in judging people, in judging ourselves or reacting accordingly in certain situations. With a thoughtful mind full of emotions and questions and with a hope to improving myself, i sign off...

Self recognition

The chills that i always get after exams were enhanced with the thought of GD and PI sessions, On top of it the chills of this winter in Kolkata... Speaking in class and speaking sense was a major problem for me...


Since my college days, i used to literally avoid these sessions where i had to speak in front of class i.e., seminars, presentations etc. However, to my very amusement i used to score fairly good. My friends on the other hand used to speak pretty well... I still remember one of my very close friends took me in his group replacing some other person who was technically better than me in some aspects.. I performed fairly, obviously not up to the mark according to me..


Its almost two years.. Have learnt a lot.. Have got over a lot of my fear in these two years..  In these two years, i've recognized myself, known myself more, that i didn't earlier.. In class i am amongst the first two three persons, if not first, to ask for a chance to speak.. i love to speak now.. 


Someone said that we generally have problems in public speaking because we think people are judging us, and thats true, exactly what happened with me. The person also said " If you genuinely think people will like what you say people wil like." Ask me to speak now and i will not hesitate to do so.. I've learnt that there is always a scope of improvement.. Now i even like to read books.. 


I have learnt not to come to conclusions but analyse a particular situation and have an opinion of myself.. Life becomes seriously disentangled and simple.. Its about making others feel your presence without nagging in front of them. Anyway, loads to learn..
On a mission to be a brilliant spokesman one day..
Signing off..
