What is the first step of random number generation? SEEDING… If you haven’t seeded the number generator, you’ll end up with the same series of numbers. The same approach is true about your mind – It’s a really popular mind hack. (I guess that’s the correct word).

In computer environment, it’s really simple. Just calling a function. But when it comes to real life, how can we seed our idea generator or our mind. It can be done using almost any activity that you have never thought of doing, like reading a book if you don’t read books, watching a movie if you don’t watch movies often, etc.. Or it can be some simple activities like reading a simple joke, looking at a road, looking at some mountains, or even taking a careful look at day-to-day activity will do the job. For example, may be you can analyze the activities of a insect ;-).

After spending a lot of time with coding (actually it’s not a lot, but for some reason I wasn’t feeling well), I also wanted to seed my mind. So, what I did was reading a **strange** book. I usually read books (novels, short stories, politics), but this one is kinda strange. It was written about the mental state, activities of the gods(gods as in buddhist gods) – a completely unknown world. I don’t care whether it’s true or false, but the interesting fact is, that’s like a ferry tale – really interesting stories about the gods and have a bit of some scientific background (bit as in very very little).

However, after spending straight 10 hours for reading the book, I’m back for CODING.
