Complexity and Simplicity

In an analytics field or any other field, there is always a problem. A particular thing that you want to achieve. May be you want your sales to rise by 50% or exactly 2.5% or you may want to build a house on an ocean! Daunting as it looks, but that is the nature of the problem.

How do you go on solving it? I mean any problem or analysis? How do you do it? Obviously, you have to design a solution. I take solution as a design that has the potential to solve a problem. When you start designing for a solution, you start by constructing a structure of a foundation on which you are going to build your reasoning. Your whole reasoning will be based upon that foundation, that structure. If it is stable then your analysis or the whole system is stable otherwise, it will fall and that is inevitable.

Also, remember that the solution that you provide is going to be valid only for that particular problem and not other, because as soon as the situation changes so does the validity of you solution. Remember it.

It was the other night that I had a discussion with my friend on the complexity and the simplicity of a design or a solution. We both came to a conclusion that a particular design is the special purpose system and NOT general purpose.

Also, in case of the level of the complexity and simplicity. The more complex is the system the more rigid it becomes and won't be able to handle the small disturbance. But when the system is simple then, it has a capability to grow and has more flexibility in it.

But, this is not a proof that the solution must always be simple, what is the conclusion is that the analyst or a designer must have this in his mind that complexity has an inbuilt error of approximation which must be considered. The complex mathematical solutions are based mainly upon the mathematical reality which may not be always true which imposing it in the physical model.

Good Ad Versus Bad Ad

At InRev , for past few days we have been working on our new project. The project is about collaborative blogging, from the blogger around the world. As Bhupendra and I have been blogging for long time, with his immense experience, our team has been working to revamp the globalthoughtz and create a new blogging experience. In this site, we are planning to add a section where people can add their advertisement. We thought lets start by our own :), with already so many products on the line, it was obvious. So there goes an effort to create a small 128 px by 128 px logo. If you are a designer, you know that designing is a very time consuming process. For hours, you just test around with colors. Remember there are 256 X 256 X 256 combination of colors!! Its hard job selecting one. Lets start with F-Cube : In short F-cube is a Free Economic Reporting Site. Let me exhibit some Ad made for it and its pros and cons. (Please don't click on the image. Wait till the end. Thank You) OK, h...

Bruce Lee

Yes. Bruce Lee . Remember all the punches and kicks in his all time hits movies. But why am I talking about him. Am I going to talk about his movies? No, I am not. I am going to say about his philosophies which have been so many times projected in his fighting styles. By the way, he also wrote a book. Many may not know but he had a unique way of thinking about the life and his art of fighting. Let me put forwards his thinking, in my own words. He believed in efficiency and rejected any amount of redundancy that affected the performance. He believed that there is no one style which is correct. Everyone has their own unique way and must harness those skills rather waste their time in doing something that is not efficient at all. There are many fighting styles carrying their own norms and values. Every style starts by assuming something. But slowly those assumption are taken as a Gospel truth, and people make them into rules which cannot be broken. But, without understanding the key me...

Being an Artist and Being an Entrepreneur is almost similar

Most people flock to big cities to pursue their dreams and struggle for years. Some people succeed but many still find themselves waiting for the opportunities. They consider that opportunity is the biggest thing that can actually leverage their talent or skill. But I believe that it is not always so. There are couple of examples that proves that opportunity along is not everything. Moreover in today’s media hyped world, opportunities are everywhere from a reality TV shows to your own youtube channel, twitter account or facebook profile. If you look around in youtube, there are lots of artists doing great with their skills and scaling them to offline. This gives a lot of encouragement to all those people who want to pursue their passion. But there is a reality beyond pursuing your dreams that everyone considers once in a while. It’s how far you can take yourself with what you have. Most people get stuck on it and lose their passion in mid way, and some people simply cannot go beyon...
