  23 June 2004. A news item that says research shows that a person with a cool head is less likely to get affected by high Blood Pressure. Now, this looks like circular logic. One of the symptoms of high BP is NOT having a cool head.
Now, we have proof that people with a cool head have less risk of BP. Do you really need to spend money on research to arrive at this conclusion? I would also like to spend the next few years on my research topic and prove that good looking people actually get more opportunities to play lead roles in movies than average looking people. I will interview thousands of people and watch hundreds of movies over the next two years to prove this to you.
I will be very thourough in my research to make sure it is conclusive! I will surely interview the south african contestant who was told by Pooja Bhatt (a leading film producer from Bollywood) that she could not be a lead because she was too dark for Bollywood movies. I mean should someone not be cast because they are dark? Isnt talent enough? But then the question also arises - should someone not be allowed to sing because they have a voice like mine (if you had a choice of listening to me sing or listening to nails on a blackboard, guess what you would pick? ) I mean my songs have great lyrics. The debate on form or content goes on. Is form more important than content?
Or having great content mean you dont need the form. Like Richard M Stallman or our president Abdul Kalam who dont need a jazzy suit to make them look good. They dont care but people will still respect them for what they have contributed. I mean even guys who dont like RMS' rants have to hand it to him for emacs and gcc (i hope i am right).
Then there are guys like me who need to be comfortably coccooned in a suit, tie and neatly combed hair to make an impression that I am a smart person who can be trusted to manage a software project or software organization. To me it has always been form and content, but I have found people with lots more content than me who dont need to care about form. But whatever be the case, at least on the Internet, content is king:-)
