Neel Sanghi's Book, Film and Lifestyle Suggestions

Here you will find a list of suggestions to improve yourself and your life. I have great taste in books, software, films and women.

The following is a partial compilation of some of my suggestions:

Neel Sanghi's Book Suggestions

This book fullfills the prerequisite of understanding that some things cannot be put into words, and why that is so. After understanding this, one can maximize the potential of what can be put into words.

Also, this book is not simply about drawing instruction. Through this book one will discover how it is possible to access a completely different portion of your brain. Then one may adapt this technology to unlock other regions of the brain.

Note on Technical Books: As with all books, the content must be evaulated, compared, and be congruent with your existing knowledge. When suggesting technical books (especially highly technical) one must understand that there are lots of typos in these books, including the sourcecode (esp. hypothetical example sourcecode) largely due to the availability of qualified people to proofread the material. In general, though one may catch those mistakes. In complex technical subjects some books are great to build a foundation provided you can spot technical mistakes in a subject you are still learning about.

One of these such books is:
Interfacing Assembly Language in Turbo Pascal by Sanjay Nanth

This is a great book to build your mind paradigm of the x86 engine. I found it at the local flea market in Pass Christian, Mississippi pre 2000. After a short (minute or so) evaluation of the book I relized it hardly has anything to do with Pascal or Turbo Pascal. The books is mostly about x86 machine code. Even Sanjay recognizes that the book should have been titled differently like x86 Machine code.

This book helps to provide a fundamental understanding of how a computer works.
Other great technical books to help with this: The IBM PC by Peter Norton

Neel Sanghi's Software Suggestions

Open Source software is software that is typically free to use, modify, and in many cases free to redistribute. The software I have suggested are ones I use or have used and the ones under the downloads folder are for general desktop and office use.

Neel Sanghi Non-Fiction Film Review

Cosmos is 13 episodes approximately 1 hour each. The collection thorougly explains in laymans terms the origins of our existance, and how we as a species have arrived at this understanding through providing a reasonable and plausible overview of the history of knowledge management.

This video is a masterpiece and should be required viewing for all of mankind.

The first volume of these videos is especially interesting. It is reality programming at its best. There are no 5 star hotels in this film. Zwier Alby Mangels was a brick layer from Australia who was given a video camera for a gift. Shortly after receiving the gift he walked off his job with only $400 to travel around the world. He documented his travels and didn't return to his home in Australia for over 6 years.

Sailing on a ship from island to island, and going to far away foreign places like Japan, Thialand, India, Africa, Tonga, and Palmyra (just to name a few). Of the many places he went the locals were living in huts and many times have never even seen a car, or foreigners. When the locals dined on lizard, so did Alby. Despite the car and ship breaking down several times, and having faced guerrilla warfare, landmines, lions, crocodiles, drought, and other obstacles he continued on his journey letting nothing stop him.

Alby shows through this video documentary that travelling the world is possible no matter how broke you are, and that it is even possible to cross the Sahara Desert in the middle of summer and survive.

Computer Tips

When given a choice of FAT, EXT3, NTFS one must consider file size, number of files to be stored, transaction frequency, data integrity, security, application, etc. As with anything all parameters must be evaluated before making a desicion, but for general desktop use FAT32 is sufficient.

Building Websites/Webpages: When learning to build websites start by learning HTML. This allows for the greatest potential application of technologies such as PHP, SSI, etc. HTML is simple. Its the markup language of the internet and is a universal way to store and retreive formating information across all platforms.

Places to Go

Coral Castle

The Monolithic Dome Institute, Italy, Texas

Grand Canyon

Places where things move uphill

• Car Rolling Uphill

Lifestyle Suggestions

Generally right handedness and left handedness can be identified through observation of which hand is used to hold an object, and which hand manipulates the object. Right handers (generally) hold/support with the left hand, and manipulate with the right hand vice versa. Left handers are more difficult to identify using this method because they sometimes do tasks as a right hander does. This is important because dexterity of one side of the body is indicative of hemispherical brain development to the opposite side.

Similarly as an infant learns to walk, or a child learns to handwrite over the course of many months and years, the child's brain is developing. The development of right hemispherical brain processing power allows one to corellate much more information, on a much grander scale, and with speedier results as handwriting improves. Handwriting is just one metric for bilateral ability/development.

Visual information is processed in the right hemisphere. This fact alone should reveal it's thought processing power.
