Catch Me if You Dare!

The subtle difference between the symbolic and the semiotic leads to the  major difference between James Joyce and Umberto Eco. 

On the other hand, the greater difference between the abstract and the concrete doesn't explain the lesser difference between James Joyce and James Bond. 

Timothy Dalton is my favourite Bond, and I loved him in Living Daylights. 

That was a time when I wondered if Roger Moore and Roger Penrose weren't somehow connected. I felt very much at ease when I learnt about the Moore-Penrose inverse. 

You know? It is a smaller world than your senses perceive. Everything and everyone is connected here and the connections span beyond Facebook. They  began even before I revealed my name as "Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh" to him who knelt before me, but, who, alas, mistook me for a burning tree!

That's for now. But mind you! It is not the end. You'll never see the end, you immortals!

Think beyond! Dream high! Live dangerously!

Ad hominum salutem!

A Moment of Anguish

It is getting more and more wonderful as I think about it! Today,  I passed a moment of anguish by telling myself that nobody can kill my enthusiasm for reading and my urge for writing. The fact is that today I finished reading Prague Cemetery of Umberto Eco. Have ever lived in forgetfulness? Well!  That's how I felt while reading that novel. To say in Eco's style, I must be an extreme masochist to have selected this novel to read. What more, I am an atheist, but God willing, I am going to read all the novels by Eco. Two more to go: Foucault's Pendulum and The Island of the Day Before. Looks good, no?
