The Ultimate Feynmanist!


Well after writing about my dream girl last time (To tell the truth not my dream girl actually), I try this time to give you some insight into my philosophy about life. Now I don’t want to sound like a fat headed guy giving out advices to others but still as I had already pointed out in the previous blog here I try to speak only about things that are close to my heart.

And surely as you all might have guessed Mr. Feynman is certainly close to my heart. My first brush with Dr. Richard Philips Feynman was in 2007 while I was reading my Physics text book. Then I did not give much damn to that name but when gradually it started popping up in my surroundings I started to pursue him with some respect. Then I purchased a book called “Surely you’re joking Mr. Feynman” which are his memoirs and then was I mesmerized by the genius of a man. R.P. Feynman has become my idol in the past few months and I genuinely get up to him to help me out either in Physics or in real life.

Now the book Surely…. Is not easily available in India and I was lucky enough to get it and I think I might have the only genuine copy of that book in my state (Assam). But the internet has been a spoilsport as the book is available for anyone who knows how to use Google to his benefit. Now I have got more books of him and still I am insatiable.

Coming back to the title of this post! Well I have coined the words Feynmanist and Feynmanism to describe myself more than is possible. As I follow Feynmanism so I am a Feynmanist. I wonder how many other people are Feynmanists! The philosophy that Feynman advocated was a one of which he was extremely proud. He dealt only on those things he enjoyed and this has been my forte too. Looking back I wonder how that single man could have done so much and left so much of his legacy. I certainly try to further it but I am not satisfied. Maybe someday I might eclipse Feynman in it and earn some name at least.

(N.B: I have decided to keep the current blog template for a few days until I find a more suitable one.)
