On Language Switching

Pre-Pre-Script: In contrast to my normal blogging habits, I am planning to write small blog entries like this one, between classes and call them Bloglets.

Pre-Script: I love switching between languages often, that’s why I am a fan of native languages (no, not like Kannada) native languages used in Java for ex., I like witching between English/Hindi/Kannada/Programming/Math, if someone gave me one cent every time I switched languages I would be a millionaire by now. This bloglet is one such language-context-switched entry, with inter-language puns!

Many ‘big people’ keep telling us to have steadfast aims in life. But I feel Life is monotonous (see, here I switched from English to Math,  by ‘monotonous’ I don’t mean boring, but its mathematical meaning, as in ‘monotonously increasing/decreasing functions’). Life has few predictable points of inflection and they can be derived quite easily (again!). So it is enough to make greedy decisions (again, I do not mean the Ayn Rand ‘greedy’, I mean the greedy as in greedy algorithms, ones in which  you make local decisions without a global aim) and be sure that if most of those greedy decisions go right, you are bound to end up in neighborhood of global maxima/minima as you require.

post script: naah, I am not adding a post script and a pre-script, this is just for effects!
