The Ancient Indians thought
The Ancient Indians thought up varied ways of calculating Time. One such system was the Tatpara measure. A Tatpara is defined as "the time taken for an impulse in the brain to generate an action" (Ravishankar,2002). In layman terms- a thought (2 act upon or not?!). They further agrandised it in a hexadecimal progression until they got to a 24 hour period and ended up with a gargantuan number- 46.65 billion tatparas/day! Wonder how we earthlings just dont explode with all that neuronic activity! Anyways, getting back to neuronics ( I wonder if that word exists in a dico or shall one of my neural connections take credit for this neologism?!), if we were to act upon each of said impulses, Newton's 1st law can take a walk! Thank goodness for Inertia- the making and breaking of mankind! I wish all my Jewish friends a happy Rosh-ha'shana-SHANA TOVA (happy new year), and a great year ahead- To another chronological measure!
Keep those tatparas buzzing until the next post...
