How much is more important than how

1) normally, we will get many ideas but only one out of 100 will work. Example: some people came out with an idea of generating electricity by raindrops using piezoelectric crystal. They even wanted to patent it. But considering the cost of piezoelectric crystal and CALCULATING the total energy that we get from  drops of rain, it was realized that we have to spend thousands of dollars to get one tube light running, that too when there is a heavy rain.
2) In a big R &D center Bangalore, my friend was given a vibration of turbine blade project. From past several years, scientists in that institute were not getting results. My friend used simple highschool mathematics and showed that the approach itself was wrong. I saw big AHA feeling in GTRE scientists. They appreciated him.
3) Try this: try to make a normal person to understand that no one can fold the paper more than 10times easily. He cannot understand. He will always think of taking very thin paper and so on. But when you explain him the power of 2, ie the magnitude of 2^10, then you can see a big AHA FEELING in him.
4) I have had several aha moments when I was reading the book 1,2,3 to infinity. It was because the book explains big scientific concepts through simple mathematics.

Landing page concept appears to be wrong


I have tried to sell my ebooks by the concept of landing pages. It will not effectively work. The probable reason is:

If you are posting an ad to a social media like twitter, then  for about 1000 views, there will be some 10 link clicks. So, if you take these 10 people to a website and make them to read an article and then make them to hit call to action button like " buy now", then again out of 10, only one or no one will hit the button. But instead of thet if we take them  directly to call to action, the chances are more to hit it! Think and tell your opinion.

Also, please see my amazon author page :

Why I am writing ebooks?

Many people are interested in reading printed books. But this will be the biggest cause for destroying trees. Yes. it is the daily newspapers, magazines and printed books that are responsible for major conservation of paper and hence are responsible for destruction of trees.
It is our habit from our childhood that is making us to like the printed books.
If we can change that habit a little and start reading ebooks, then we can save lots of trees.
The other advantges of ebooks are
1.  cost of the book is very less
2. No printing, no transportation
3. Animation can be included
4. Can be converted to any language
5. Can be read at any place with tab, PC ,mobile or Kindle reader.
So, let us start writing and reaching ebooks.

have a look at my ebooks

Advantages of painting using computer.


Advantages of making painting by using a computer freeware.


1.     Any kind of pictures can be inserted and combined

Open Office software consists of many kids of clip arts and other pictures, which can be inserted at any place in any orientation and size. This can be altered at any time. For each picture, the parameters like brightness, contrast and so on can be controlled. Most of the pictures

2. Many small images can be easily copy pasted number of times to get a pattern.


Such patterns are very easy to create and even the sizes can be altered for a row of pots so that a perspective effect is easily seen.

3. Complete colour control is possible


Observe each pot. The colours are different because, it is varied. First one is the original.

4. No question of erasing problems on canvas, as we can correct it any number of times

As it is computer, any number of times we can alter any image, which cannot be done easily in painting. In some cases, in regular painting, we may have to discard the canvas and start painting if the mistake is big or irreparable.

5. Varying Shades and transparency are extremely simple


Observe the two pictures. The left one makes us to feel that the pen is behind the dust bin, but in the right side picture, Transparency of the dust bin is increased, so that it is giving a feeling that the pen is inside the dust bin. Such an effect is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to get in regular painting.

6. Size and orientation of any object can be altered.


The above pictures will illustrate the ease of use of pictures in different sizes and orientations. Observer the hand bag of the person in the third picture.  It is flipped horizontally. Similarly the shelf.

7. Pictures can be grouped or ungrouped easily

When grouped, all the pictures in the group move together. It is a very good advantage.

8.  3D drawings are very simple to generate.

       (Explained with illustrations in proceeding volumes)

9.  Perspective view and its degree can be controlled very easily.

(Explained with illustrations in proceeding volumes)

10.                 Any stylish text can be typed along with painting.

(Explained with illustrations in proceeding volumes)

11.                 Shade gradation controlling is possible

(Explained with illustrations in proceeding volumes)

12.                 Almost unlimited colors are available

Shades available in normal colour system in the computer are 256 colours but with combinations and RGB ratio variations, we can get almost unlimited colours.

13.                 Images may or may not be printed and hence almost no cost

Most of the computer paintings can be stored as soft copy only. Only when someone asks for it, we can print it. So, virtually no cost.

14.                 Final best image may be printed on ANY size of paper

If we start painting on a canvas of a4 size and then decide to increase the size of the painting, we cannot alter it. We can only start in a new big canvas. But in computer painting, we can take print on any size and any number of copies!

15.                 Laser printing will make it automatically water proof

In regular painting, unless we use oil colours, painting will not be water proof. It has to be protected by doing lamination. But in computer painting, we can take a laser print, which is water proof.

16.                 Real photos can be embedded or combined.

Instead of using clip arts, we can use our own photo embedded in painting.  We can also use a combination of the two.
(Explained with illustrations in proceeding volumes)

17.                 No question of paint allergy  or bad smell.

Since computer requires no real paint, no question of painting allergy of dirty spill over of paint.

18.                 No wastage of paint due to drying

Paint will normally get dry when exposed to air for longer duration and hence wasted. But computer painting cannot be like that.

I have explained all the methods of painting using computer. It is with detailed expalnations with complete illustrations.  Hve a look at my book at Amazon.
