Why I like Simulations?

First of all, what are Simulations? They are just some hypothetical scenarios where we would like to test a particular thing. So, this is the bottom-line and also the top-line about Simulations – it is the one same thing or the same question that we want to answer, which means that the question remains the same. But the answers are very many because we change the situation (change the parameters) in which the question is being asked.

I had heard about them when I was in high school but got to do some when I went to do my Engineering in Pilani. It was part of the Optimizations course. I remember we did some Monte-Carlo simulations on Excel and that felt very good. It was as-if, all possible solutions were available and if there existed something like a safe bet, I would be prepared of doing that.

I have been working on Simulations recently – constructing 2 and 3 dimensional metrices and looking at the numbers to finally decide cuts on the basis of what I think is the most reasonable thing to do from an implementation point of view.

Excitement on a Chinese wedding

Our movies and TV shows display a lot of stuff that happens in the United States, for example  - how people live, how they behave, food habits, culture, festivals and of course weddings. When I was a teenager, I adored their two things the most - bow ties and long gowns. I even thought that when I meet the right man, we would plan two events – one the traditional way and one the “bow-tie” way.

The fact is that we don’t see much of a ‘How is a new year celebrated in China?’ or a ‘How is an Indonesian wedding like?’. I’m happening to attend a wedding of a dear friend tomorrow and I’m pretty excited about joining the same. So, I’m going to come back tomorrow and write about how it is like, what people do, what do they eat, what do they wear, what are the different events that make a wedding day ‘successfully complete’.
