Chemical Engineering joke

This incident happened when I was at UMass, Amherst.

I bought a Cafe Latte and started to drink. I realized that it was not properly mixed.

This was the conversation after that.

Vikram: Oh! The coffee is not mixed properly.

Young: I do not understand why chemical engineers always start with the assumption that the system is completely mixed.

Vikram: Because it is the simplest assumption, but never true :).

Religion as I see it

Religion as I see it, is a set of guidelines which gives a platform to lead a good life. Many of the practices in different religions can be given a scientific justification while few of them can be considered as stories to emphasize a point. To elaborate on the latter point, every avatar of Vishnu shows an example of how an ideal person leads his life. These could be a fact or a myth, but they can be directive to lead a good and disciplined life. Religion does not require a god, but it is a useful tool to make people follow some practices for we always fear superiors while take things for granted when we are the boss. In my view religion is a concept devised to form a disciplined society.
