This blog started with the intention of redefining the way I understand Mathematics and approach Problem Solving in general. The Magic Wand of Programming has always been a faithful companion by my side;P
I do realize that when you read the recent posts you might think that Okay, this person knows how to code but that's not really the case - believe me, if you want to know the story behind all of this the pull up the very first set of posts I ever posted on the blog.
All, you'll find in these post is someone who is foolish enough to think that with a computer and an internet connection ( and a Lot of HardWork/Fun ) he can take good strides in catching up with the Frontier Men of Sciences. I am quite happy to still believe in this Mission of mine as I have poured out my dreams in this post - What if...?
After reading so so many manuals and tech. books this year, on my own as opposed to the ones which were just imposed by the Education system, I started to look for different way to Learn Faster and exploring Memory Techniques, Visualizing et cetera - not to mention that this is also due to my other Great Passion which I blog about over at The Talking Apes, which too involves learning Huge number of things pretty quickly. So, I was genuinely trying to explore and understand my own learning style and how can I make the entire Learning Curve all the more fun.
I have found that it all points back to the Arts, to be Creative in the complete sense of the word. Arts and Science are so intimately related that a lop-sided education in either side is nothing short of a betrayal of the entire Purpose of Education. All it does is to convince people that they should be comfortable Walking, or worse still Crawling when they can Run.
As you probably know, if you have been reading my scribbles over here that I am learning Harmonica, Music Theory and Sketching as well. So, it's not all about programming and coding in my life - quite the contrary. Any problem I get stuck at Solves Itself, while I am engaged in another Creative activity like just humming out a tune or doodling a sketch and suddenly the Aha Moment happens. It's one of the most amazing feelings to have, I tell you.
Over the upcoming posts, have planned about 20+ of them, I am gonna explore and talk about my ToolKit which is The most important part of anything and everything which I wish to make, understand and explore. There is Tons of learning to come and I am actually looking forward to it eagerly but how can I make most of what I learn?
Of Course, by doing things, building things and using the knowledge real time. But there's another aspect to it, isn't it? Learning and Remembering things. I have found that there is this wonderful things call SketchNotes which I have become a huge fan of.
After being mesmerized by this SketchNote techniques, which came my way via Sacha Chua's wonderful ways of doing things. There are many examples over here at SketchNotes Army
I doodled my very first Sketchnote only yesterday and it was initially with a Pencil and today I finalized it with a Pen. Isn't this a wonderful way to revise what you have learnt, I literally could remember every word of the TEDtalk I SketchNoted. And no, I don't think I'll be uploading it soon over here as I need to take care of the look and feel of the Blog first and then get the hang of the technical side of things of uploading content on a regular basis. But, soon enough, you'll start seeing doodles on the site.
Three programs which I felt compelled to add to my ToolKit are Inkspace, Krita and GIMP which will help me digitize my notes, which eventually will be the way I engage with Higher Mathematics, Linguistics and Physics related stuff over here - but that's probably a couple years in the future. First, I concentrate on refining my ToolKit and Learning How to Learn. Not to mention that the StartUp, I am working on is gonna be a huge part of my life all this time as well but I'll learn to manage things properly.
They say "Magic happens outside your comfort zone", I believe it from the bottom of my heart.
