Idea
What Idea???
Idea is. . .
I - Idea
d - delete
e - edit
a - add
And what is it supposed to mean?
It's an acronym I use for my work.
Now, Arv. . .pleazzzzz, no more acronyms???
Incidentally, it makes good sense and is beautiful.
You can use it for many things. . .design, development, problem-solving etc.
This is a few things that I associate with it.
The 'I' is capitalized, which means it's got a special status from the other three. Ofcourse, being the first term, it also gets to be attended to first.
Suppose you have got an Idea. Great. Now, in the Idea, there can be some undesirable elements - these you element by 'd' i.e. delete. Next, there can be certain things that you would like to modify i.e. edit. Finally, you can 'add' and this completes one iteration.
The special status for 'I' in 'Idea' is in the sense that you can delete or edit or add things but the Idea remains the same - kind of like the body can change but the soul remains the same. Idea is complete in itself - it's a recursive acronym, like PHP.
The order of the term is quite important. Call it Serendipity that it came like that. Everything starts with an Idea. Now, it's better to first delete the unwanted than add the useful items if you consider Idea as a container that's to be filled. It's easier to knock off the unwanted i.e. delete than examine something i.e. edit. It's also easier to edit what is present already than go fetch something to add.
'I' comes from intuition while 'd-e-a' comes from rationality. They are the Yin-Yang and right-brain -- left-brain. And the cyclic order of I-d-e-a is the 'Tao'.
One can also associate this with Hindu Trinity. 'I' is like 'Para-Brahman' and 'd-e-a' are like 'Shiva-Vishnu-Brahma'.
For design, one can take the I as a template or prototype from which one deletes, edits and adds items. For agile programming, one can say the 'I' as creating the first core product. For writing, 'I' can ofcourse be an idea from which one can later delete 'ego', edit for entertainment and add (action, description and dialogue - ADD)
4 more nights to go before I will be drugless.
Where does all this leave me? I'm wondering if I should do website design and development using this or write the novel professionally. Ican presently work nicely, with minor hiccups, for 1 session of 45 mins to 1 hour. I don't know how balanced my mind will be if I work for 6 hours like this, with psychotic thoughts of hackers. I guess I'm grossly over-estimating my problems. Anyway, I will be working for 1 session like this. Writing novel isn't easy either and it's difficult to explain to my mom that I'm working when I keep looking out through the window (quote used from elsewhere).
It will be one of the two. Let's see.

The cost of being straight-forward
It's not as if I get a sadistic element of joy from speaking my mind negatively. Speaking the mind in a negative way is a sure-fire way of losing friends and winning new ones (only to lose them also).
It's not as if I don't value any friendship high enough not to worry losing it. I also don't support enemies of my friends in order to get their friendship. The way I treat another online is the way I treat my mom or sister or even myself.
Perhaps it is the way a brotherhood or sorority grows by first eliminating the bad ego. This is supposed to happen in some army. Even though I do it, I don't agree 100% with it. I will soon oneday stop it. There are 2 ways that one can live good - by fighting the evil and/or supporting the good. Fighting the evil is a lower form of goodness from which everyone has to graduate to the higher form of goodness by supporitng the good. Evil collapses and implodes under it's own weight when there is no support for or attention to it. The relief is that one wouldn't be reminded of one's own negativity since everything that happens out there is a reflection of some area, however small, within oneself. I can see that one of my FB friends is doing this.
Perhaps after 7 days when I would have stopped taking the anti-psychotic drug, I wouldn't be bitching any more :)
With only a 'dry mouth' (it's actually a physical ailment, not the 'bad mouth' I talked about now. . .lol), I'm inching towards being wealthy, even though my bank balance is only Rs.2000, since Health is Wealth.

Thums Up to Germany and Europa
Nice to find that Germany is rescuing Greece and Co. from the recession. Shows that Germany is really interested in European Union rather than in NATO expansion. Sarkozy and Brown can take humanistic and political lessons from Merkel. Greece has given a lot to the world and deserves a bailout from those who can help.

A cute and silly girl
I didn't delete RB because I didn't want her as a friend. While she was at best acting like an amateur, she was being used by another, a fried chicken, as a tool.
The high point of my interaction with her was in scrubbing soap on her in a FB game. :D
I bless her all the best in life.
