Symptoms :: No Confidence/ Mediocrity/ Lack of planning/  Frustration of what is happening/

We first need to accept whatever situation we are in right now, as the best that could be for us. Taking that we need to move ahead with the best possible effort.

Fundamental assumption of direct correlation between what is done and what is obtained is wrong. The luck factor/God is missing.

I feel that if i do this then i would get this, i tend to forget that there is this entity in between the two things that gets linked and the things join in. I need to keep in mind that God is the main door and it is his wish that this is happening to me. we can only do humble efforts to live in the present and act the best possible way of the given situation.

If we keep analyzing the past and keep thinking about outcome of the future in terms of the output/result, then we are in the wrong territory, we are trying to exercise control over things which are not under our control.

God can do things through us in the way that would not be desired, ( Anythakartum,) He does that only to make us realize that we need to constantly remember, that he is the main door and that this is the best possible way. This makes us fall so that the I in us comes back and we realize that I is not to be entertained.

Instead of having a highly specialized attitude towards anythings, it is always better to find out a middle way out.

There is not ideal scenario where in a person would be able perform. We have seen it time and agin that given the situation, it only works out when God wishes it. It is always during the time of stress that the ideal candidate would be able to perform( may be may be not, again depends on what gods ultimate wish is )…

We need to find out a middle way to get the job done, we need to communicate with boss that we would do it for a limited amount of time, and that we do not expect any financial benefits at this point of time.

As a child <human between 0 - 3 years age>, one is not bounded by rules of being or mindset of acting. One simply does what is natural, natural to the extent that, one experiences divine happiness during child age. Even adults feel happy to be around innocent child. This happens because of the natural true self that the child exhibits.

Given that, how can one regain that true being and the life force that the child has. ??

Basics :

• For a child, there is no difference between the doer of the action and the action itself.
• For a child, the focus during the activity being performed is so intense, that the child forgets its own identity when he/she is acting.
• Focus to the extent that ones own identity is forgotten. This focus gives one the ability to get the divine experience of being.

How do we get it - Answer as found in TAO Upanishad.

• Deep breathing practice: Our breath has a huge impact on our mind, emotions, focus, state of happiness and our sense of well being. It is evident with the fact that one cannot do deep breathing when one is stressed, emotionally angry/sad or depressed. Deep breathing involved consciously breathing from the naval and not from the chest. There is this idea floating around among young men and women to breath from the chest. TAO Upanishads has indicated this practice to be misleading and can lead to serious drawbacks. Thus the key is to consciously deep all the way from the naval < lies slightly below your stomach >. This also has many scientific benefits as well.
• Focus on breathing out : We all tend to focus on breathing in, like we all focus on getting things from other people and keeping everything within us. It is just the other way round that it should be. While breathing, focus all your energy into breathing out completely, the nature would take care of taking the breath in. Doing this consciously in the beginning would require some effort on your side. This conscious effort has an immediate benefit of soothing your mind. Like this analogy, always focus on giving thing to people, that would take care of you getting what you want. It is the law of nature.
• Associated breathing : When you breath in, think of you going in the body along with your breath and when you breath out, think of yourself going out with the breath. This way your focus level increases as your association with the breath increases. Become one with the breath. This exercise would help us allow to get focused on what we are doing, eventually we would be able to use the same experience anywhere we want to use, like in our area of interest or any situation that would require focus from our side.

You must be wondering how the above three points< Deep breathing, Focus on breathing out and Associated breathing> are related to the main topic - Learning to Unlearn - Practical approach to being the Child we were. I stated the three basic points earlier, each one of them have a strong correlation with how we breath and how we focus and concentrate.

• By practicing deep breathing, we get the awareness of the present reality, most of the times we are leaving either in the past or in the future. A Child always lives in the present. By practicing this which all of us can, we can start living in the present first, this experience which we get during practicing it, itself gives us the ability to meet the pre-requirement of living in the present.
• Focus on the breathing out : A Child’s mind does not have the rules for selfishness and the wicked rules that the society forces us to make. By focusing on breathing out, one is able to see the benefits of doing it. As one experiences better vitality, obtained by naturally breathing fresh air in. We learn to give and become less and less worried about taking things in. It is 100 % opposite of our current thinking process of accumulating things in. I have experienced this fact, those people who give out genuinely without expecting often get what they want from nature <GOD….>
• Associated Breathing : Helps us identity with the constant reality called life. It is this life force that enables us to do what we can do. This level of focus gives us the power to tap the present. This would become more and more clear as you do the above two practice.

In summary, get focused in what you do 100% to the fact that you forget yourself. Being natural ane expression of your true self.

In the service of God.

Problem 2
=========
Given:
8 jars with 10g beans
1 jar  with 11g beans
a digital weighing scale, precision to the g

0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8
11  10  10  10  10  10  10  10  10
0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   =

10  11  10  10  10  10  10  10  10
10  10  11  10  10  10  10  10  10

10  10  10  10  11  10  10  10  10

Problem:
with one weighing, find the jar with the 11g beans

1(10) + 2(10) = 30 (11g beans in jar 0)
1(11) + 2(10) = 31 (11g beans in jar 1)
1(10) + 2(11) = 32 (11g beans in jar 2)

Problem 3
=========
myString = “ABCDE”
myStringLength

public static void main( String[] args)
{
String myString = “String to reverse”;
//length -> converting -> return the new string..

int myStringLength = myString.lenght();

char[] tempBuffer = new char[myStringLength];

for( int i=0; i < myStringLength; i++)
{
tempBuffer[i] = myString.charAt(i);
}//basically creates a temparary buffer which I have access to

//now I have the access to individual characters…..

char[] reversedBuffer = new char[myStringLength];
// creating the reverse string char buffer…..

for( int j =0; j< myStringLength; j++ )
{
reversedBuffer[j] = tempBuffer[myStringLength -j -1];

}// This would make the

String

Yup, it is required when you want to get some of the pre requisits waived. It can happen that you would be asked to take some courses for getting an MS Degree. Like for example, you have to take Algorithms and Artificial Intellingence for doing Masters in Computer Science.

There is an alternatives for Artificial Intelligence, but not for Algorithms. On top of these mandatory subjects, you may be required to take few more subjects. Always depending on the current Advisor/new norms…

Having a syllabus copy would help for , waiving them off, for delaying some courses that you have to take and also for the professors to evaluate the subjects that you have taken. There were times when the proffs needed to see the exact contents of the subjects taught..

It also helps in proving your background for certain subjects that dont have placements exams but do need some background knowledge.

Fall 07

CS 555 (Advanced OS) under Clifford Neuman : Nice prof. V. Heavy course load. The advisor recommended against it, but I strongly recommend it. You learn to read research papers in just 1 sem…. and I think that’s good. If that’s not your thing, give it a miss

CS 574 (Computer Vision) under Ram Nevatia: Awesome prof. Moderate course load. Anybody interested in CV MUST take this course. Its a gem. I’m not so sure you should take it if you are looking to fill in pre-reqs

CS 445(Intro to Robotics) under Hadi Moradi: Hopeless prof. Lectures I could hardly keep my eyes open. BUT the labs are super fun. You play with lego and all. so ne1 interested in robotics, I’d still recommend it.

Spring 08:
CS 551 (Computer Communications) under William Cheng : Ok prof. VERY heavy course load. Under Cheng, no research papers. Just coding coding coding and more coding. But I learnt a lot and this course is usually a cherry on the resume.

CS 503 (Numerical Analysis and Computation) under Miguel Dumett. Super prof. Moderate/Low Course load. Its actually a math course. But I loved it.

CS 503 (Parallel Programming) under Mary Hall. Ok prof (slow, but enthusiastic abt her subject). Very low course load.

I got this information from AIS - USC website. I acknowledge them for the information.
Depending on the courses you would like, you might want to get the books. I had to buy only one book. Books cost around 40 $ to 150 $ in US. So its very cheap to get it, if you already have the list.

There are two types of housing at USC. OnCampus anf Off Campus.

It is very cheap to stay offCampus. Most Knowledgeable people stay offCampus. USC would be around 5-10 mins walk from most of the OffCampus locations.
