I was watching Larry King Live at my uncle's place this past weekend and saw this interview he held with 4 psychologists and some were scientists too i guess. I dont remember their names since they looked nerdy and so were their names. One familiar person who appeared later in the show was Dr. Sanjay Gupta - Senior Medical Correspondent on CNN. He was the scapegoat for a test to find how mind works and if we can control it. The jist that I got of the interview was this - Mind is a process, non-existential while Brain is. Can you control your mind? mixed answers on that one - one theme was common though - If you can control your thought process, then you could probably make some progress in controlling your mind. Well one of the interviewee went on to say one could cure a disease like Cancer if they made up their mind!$#@& .. baffles me but nothing is impossible (as my friend puts it the word itself says i m possible) .. what intrigued me more was what the other person said on the show - Humans are wired for Happiness!! got me thinking deeply on this one -- I guess thats so true... everything we do, every action we take is linked to happiness in one way or the other, be it for happiness or against. Human brain definitely is the most complicated system designed yet ! Well after seeing this, I started to think if a person really can change his mind, can he possibly achieve anything?? For now, if I can motivate my own self to study a little harder for the exam coming up in December, I will be happy to say I changed my mind :-) ....
In between the interview, me and my uncle got onto the topic of telepathy. We were debating as to whether it really existed. Apparently he has experienced it as well as one of my other friend too mentioned a similar instance. Its all eerie but I guess there's no science to disprove this theory.

Geeky topic. Too intelligent for me. But I can tell this much with authority - when you want to believe in something really, you start to do so internally - meaning it becomes an illusion and not necesarily the reality. I consider telepathy to be one of these kinds, although some would really argue on this!!
BTW, I've been to CNN head quarters in Atlanta and have seen Larry King's office also... Larry King... his image is farse - a telivision built-up image... I'm not saying he's not good, but that his demeanor is not natural!
I don't know much about Larry King either but seems like he gets to interview the "Big Guns" all the time.. anyway.. topic seemed interesting adakke nodde.. I agree it is too intelligent for me too.. and so is telepathy.. one of those topics which can neither be proved or disproved easily!
