My most recent deja vu experience...

I'm here, thousands of miles away from Bangalore. I came here on work for a month. I later met four more people from my office. I had not seen anyone before. Anyway, we all got along well and we used to visit places in Seoul together on weekends. One particular evening after returning back from some sight seeing, we were calculating that day's spending. I suddenly felt I had been through this moment already. I exactly knew I had seen the same situation few months before. I knew these 4 people, their positions, the discussion ... and the room... everything! But to my surprise I had met these people only after I landed in Seoul. How could I have dreamt about people I didn't know or the room that I had never been to?

Previously I have had dejavus but they were mostly of the people I knew. Once me and my close friend were chatting in my bedroom and I instantly realized this was a dejavu. I knew this had happend before. I knew the dress my friend was wearing, the way she was seated, the words she was about to speak! But I didnt realize all this until it actually happend!

One other experience of my friend was when we were lost in a deep forest near Kollur. 14 of us were trekking and we got lost after about 7 hrs of trekking. One of my close friends came and told me she had seen this situaltion before. There was a small clearing in the forest with a lonely leafless tree staring high into the blue sky. She said she very well remembers this tree and the situation that we were in!

Weird power of Dejavu... lets you see your future.. but you cant remember it till you are in that future!

Sudoku...

I'm just writing about some interesting information that I found on Sudoku today. I wanted to participate in the National Sudoku championship but then I found out that it just got over :(
Anyway here is the site for it : http://sudokumasters.in/ It did not get any publicity this time because Times of India was not sponsoring it.

There are more than 27 types of sudoku and many more types are being invented. For types of sudoku you can see :

Bhagya was the person who introduced me to Sudoku... before that I thought it was a stupid game of numbers! As I played I started evolving my own strategies to solve it. This http://www.sudoku-world.com/tute_1.html site explains many strategies. I'm sure as a player you would have already figured out those strategies by yourself.

Sudoku in Japanese means "Single number", but this game has a longer history before it got that name.
Play Sudoku... & get your brains working!
