Alterlobe communication

✓ You are the expert in the field!

✓ You have lot of relevant and recent experience in the same field.

❖ Yet – when communicating to someone about it, hold your horses.

✓ Stop thinking intuitively about how much you can and will talk about this.

✓ Stop default mode of dumping all your years of acquired knowledge to other person.

❖ Take a pace back and think – what other person is expecting.

❖ In other words – what other ear is hoping to hear. (Thus Alter-ear or Alter-lobe in the title)

✓ (Put yourself in their shoe – and think what are they expecting from you. )

✓ Start pre-preparation.

❖ Think introspectively – if given a chance, what are they asking you?

❖ What’s their single most important – one and only question?

✓ Answer only that question.

✓ And then give them an actual chance to probe you more.

✓ Follow-up and expand your communication to follow their line of thought.

✓ You are still an expert.

❖ But now you have become a recognized expert.

✓ Remember “communication” is better a “conversation” – not a one way radio.

Gods fought a war here

Withered by the surprising storm,

Forced to take shelter here,

In this cave atop the hill.

—

Once upon an era back –

This used to be my favorite,

Too many memories floating here.

—

Then, it happened –

Gods fought a war here,

Ferociously and fiercely.

—

The whole valley and hill charred,

All that is lively is dead.

All that is green and brown is charred.

—

Gods rode away –

After a brokered truce,

Leaving all that is dead.

—

After storm passed –

Stretched and strolled –

Scanning all over.

—

Everything I glanced –

Made my heart heavy –

Destressing and depressing.

—

But at the center of it all,

Deep in the valley,

A lonely plant cheered me.

Finding my rhythm

All I strive is to get into a rhythm,

And keep dancing until the music fades.

—

All this grilling, tiling and meditation –

All this spacing, dashing and tripping –

Is to find that nice rhythm I can keep dancing.

I need much more luminescence,

For so long,

I kept my eyes,

Pealed open –

Deciphering truth,

As I see fit.

I am going blind,

Little by little

Day after day.

With all this –

Bright light

Directly shed on me.

I need much more luminescence,

To make true sense –

Of what’s in front of me –

All these years.

In my own foggy lighthouse glass tower.

I built a glass lighthouse tower
And filled with fog
Only entagled can peak in.

But,
The machines taken over in a night
With,
Fancy vision they probed deep
Feeling me naked –
In my own foggy lighthouse glass tower.

How far did we come !
I wrote a poem like I usually do sometimes.

One of my friends asked metaAI to explain it, it did OK. But some Brilliance I could see, which used to be reserved for humans until recently.

Today, I asked chatGTP same question and below is its lengthy explanation. It captured essence of poem very well.

—-

This poem captures a sense of exhaustion, determination, and the pursuit of a goal, possibly against a backdrop of inner conflict or hardship. Here’s an interpretation of its key elements:

1. “Middle of the journey”
- This suggests the speaker is midway through an endeavor or struggle. It could be literal (a physical journey) or metaphorical (a life stage, a challenge, or a pursuit).
2. “My eyes are burdened, burning and bright red”
- The imagery here conveys fatigue, both physical and emotional. The redness implies sleeplessness, stress, or overexertion, highlighting the toll the journey has taken.
3. “I can not stop now”
- Despite the exhaustion, the speaker is resolute and refuses to give up. This line emphasizes their determination to see things through.
4. “Time for my three shot poison”
- “Three shot poison” could symbolize an unhealthy coping mechanism (like alcohol, caffeine, or another vice) that the speaker relies on to keep going. It reflects both dependence and desperation.
5. “Across the lake, where Salmon sheds salt, there lies my flag.”
- This is a vivid metaphor. The lake could symbolize a barrier or challenge to be crossed. “Salmon sheds salt” might reference a transformative process (salmon swimming upstream, enduring hardships to spawn), paralleling the speaker’s struggle. The “flag” symbolizes their goal, purpose, or achievement lying just beyond the obstacles.
6. “I keep rolling day after day.”
- The speaker endures through monotony and hardship, driven by persistence. This closing line ties the poem together, underscoring the relentless march forward despite difficulties.
Themes:
- Perseverance: The poem is a testament to the resilience required to push through tough times.
- Struggle: The speaker’s journey is fraught with exhaustion and sacrifices.
- Hope and Goal-Orientation: The “flag” symbolizes hope, a goal worth fighting for.
The poem speaks to anyone who has faced challenges yet refuses to give in, finding strength in their determination and the dream of a better outcome.

Original Poem:

Middle of the journey,

My eyes are burdened, burning and bright red.

I can not stop now,

Time for my three shot poison.

Across the lake,

where Salmon sheds salt,

there lies my flag.

I keep rolling

day after day.

Where Salmon sheds salt

Middle of the journey,

My eyes are burdened, burning and bright red.

I can not stop now,

Time for my three shot poison.

Across the lake,

where Salmon sheds salt,

there lies my flag.

I keep rolling

day after day.

Interview Question – (Microbe colony population)

/* 
 * Medical research lab. 
 * Phd - student. 
 * microbe - analyze its life cycle. 
 * If you start a microbe colony with a single microbe - it is growing extremely fast compared to other microbes. He want to understand and estimate growth provided there is enough resoruces for continous growth. 
 * Microbe - corm - reproduces via corms. 
 * First day it generates "3" corms. ==> For next three days it generates "3" each day. ==> Each corm will become another microbe in a day - on the same day it is born. 
 * After "3" days --> the corm will generate "2" new corms for next two days. 
 * after five days (3 + 2) cycle repeats. 
 * It dies after 51 days. 
 * Each corm starts following same cycle on the day they are born. They don't reproduce on the same day, but they will add "3" more micros from next day on-wards.
 
 ** After 365 days, how many corms will be there in the colony.  
** TODO: Make this post a little better. 
** TODO: Write  solution(s)

Free Translation, Roomi, Rumi, Telugu
Old man on deathbed

Met an old man
on deathbed.

He smiled with grace,
and said with conviction.

“Time is the only currency –
Love is the only worthy pursuit.”

I never forgot,
I never understood,
until this day.

Now,
the golden
silver clouds
are all gone.

Sun,
is shining bright.

Alas! too late for me!!
Maybe not of you.
