The Fascinating "Paper"

Time - early morning after a night out
Situation - sitting alone with a comp in front, nobody online to chat with and any body around is asleep
State - you will understand by the end of this blog

Who claims that scientifically we use only a teeeeny bit of our brain in the whole span of our lifetime? I would ask him to write a bleedy research paper!. Excuse my language at 5 in the morning.

Technically I am capable of talking 100 words per minute [or at least make it sound that way] and I have been trained to learn new words, make it into gazillions of sentences from the minute I was put in school. So, why does writing a paper drains out all those out of your head?

Simplifying, the things that you accomplish by publishing your "idea" as a research paper
- you are a truckload of information about how bad other's "ideas" are
- subtley put, even if your brand new "idea" is 10 years old, you are always the proud owner of highly efficient, highly effective, highly innovative, profound "idea" [you catch on all the adjectives by ofcourse reading other papers]
- nobody, absolutely nobody, can question the logic/legitemacy of your experimental results. C'mon, your idea!, your experiment!, your result!.. how dare others doubt any of it.

The enlightened call IT a journey, large number of mortals complain IT as the biggest pain and an average like me has mood swings as an enlightened one and as a mortal. Guess who did the talking above ??

PS: This blog has a title, abstract, motivation, intro, explanation, conclusion in the justified format, a natural by-product of paper writing :D

Same pinch!! [No smiley cos I cant decide between using :D and x-( ]

And why is it that we always have either :
(a) "ONLY six pages" and dont know how to restrict my wonderful idea to that space
OR
(b) "SIX long pages" and dont know how to izhuthify my smart, small idea to fill that space???

P.S : References missing d blog! ;)

We always have questions with no answers!:D

A perfect paper should have referred to claim about the teeny brain bit. Guess I was lazy to google ;)
