Paradigm Free?
After reading my first ever written blog entry "On My Own!!", my friend asked me a very intelligent, smart and a complicated question. "Your blog is too cool but what is 'paradigm free'?"
Often, a difficult question like this will have a simple, straight forward answer like this "Its my nickname in blogspot.com".
The fact is, I have no fkin idea what it means. My team-mate sittin next to me suggested this name, i found it different than usual ones that ppl use.. so i used it.
After that question is thrown at me, i decided to do some research on my nickname..
The meaning of the word "Paradigm" varies based on the context. In general, It means set of basic principles based on which everything around us works. Paradigm also describes the set of one's experiences, beliefs and values that affect the way an individual perceives reality and responds to that perception.
Our thoughts & actions are always confined to a boundary defined by our culture, beliefs & values. We often hear your people saying "Out of the box thinking"? That boundary or box is otherwise called The Paradigm.
So coming back to the question "What is Paradigm Free?" It means, there is no box, no boundaries, no rules..
One can reach the state of "Paradigm free" easily, when they have 4 rounds of wisky on the rocks & 5 mugs of beer and a shot of taquila... wait a minute.. this reminds me, today is friday, its 6pm now and Im still in office. Damn!
