I try to see a bright object with my eyes. It is difficult to make out the shape, contours, marks, distinctive features of it as it is BRIGHT!
I see it again, only this time, sample it continuously...term used to observe for a fraction of a second and shut down the next. After sampling, I can see all the things I wanted to know about the bright object. My first experiment was on the light bulb in my bedroom (the milky white CFL ones). Was thoughtless while sampling and even when i am not looking at it and blinking!!good return on investment was my verdict :-)
I dont recommend myself seeing the sun directly, or by sampling method mentioned above. both seem extremely dangerous, like walking barefoot on burning charcoal for more than 20 feet(they keep it 20 feet so that the person can run fast to escape literally unhurt _ is my take on it).
Back to sampling _ or rather _ trying to know a bright object clearly. Is it already applied in nature by animals?
Is an experiment done to know the Sun better by sampling? Digital cameras have super fast shutter speed, all the better for sampling. Its the brain which finally processes the sampled images to provide clarity, automatically, need more than high shutter speed camera to look at sun.
Philosophically_
some things are so bright (persons, events, feelings, , , (blanks to be filled in future ;-) ) that its too blinding to know their greatness in totality. What kind of sampling is need to observe it wholly?
should I not bother to look beyond the brightness? or should I sample to know more about it ( since its great looking bright and all, but it may be even more amazing if I can see more detail about it) even if I find out that finer details are not so great, I can always fall back on the brightness to keep it in correct perspective.

STEALING IDEAS
When it exists already, why not steal it.
I am not waiting for the "Why nots" to flood and cloud my clear state of consciousness ready to steal something.
Stealing is an art, until caught cant be proved and when caught late, cant be sued!
I steal, when I don't have it already. Do I need it, is a secondary question. Do I get something out of it, is a tertiary question.
STEALING IDEAS
Before starting on a expedition/challenge/task My first goal is to check in this vast world, if its already done. If it is already done, drop it and chill madi.
But if I really have to get it done, I will not reinvent the wheel but steal the tyres of my neighbours car.
The procedure starts by looking around.
ex1 - To know the development lifecycle and stages within it and progressive investments needed over time and flaunting it in the market, I look at a small branch of a tree which is yet in budding stages.
Parallelly looking at a full grown branch next to this little one growing, I get the stages involved and the final product shape and size.
In its blob form, I come to know that all the leaves, some flowers, food pipes, water pipes, thorns are tucked away safely and packed compactly within it.
After a day (or week _ depending on my dumbness in choosing a fast growing plant or BONSAI) I see that the second stage has started and I can clearly see the blob opening up to show leave, flower blobs.
Day after that day, the leave blobs and flower blobs open up to the world exposing the tender leaf structure and flower packing (like a butterfly about to flex and dry its wings once in its lifetime).
Grand finale, saving best for last, flower unpacks and blooms in all its glory much to the excitement of the observer (which is me).

OUT OF THE BOX
I dont want to do anything, brand me lazy!
but the system around me doesnt let me be idle for long. Would want me to do something.
So, I shall do something. How do I go about it?
OUT OF THE BOX
first things first.
Something is required/requested/ordered/demanded/thrusted upon.
There are several ways and "the way" to do it. (stole it from Eva Green_Casino Royale)
The way is the most effortless, natural method. It has a feel of free flow in it.
That one way is called the OUT OF THE BOX way. Of course, only by me :-)

PROJECT MECHANICAL Vs PHYSICAL
Today, I embark on something new, as always, as usual. So boring, if put in statements!
This has been a project which has been going on for the last ten years and has deep connection with the way I try doing things. one way is by the experience i have got _ which involves my past history and my memory , other one is by the totally new _ unprecedented, unprejudiced, absorb all, only processing .
PROJECT MECHANICAL Vs PHYSICAL
1) Why is mechanical memory more reliable than the physical one?
or
1) Why is it more reliable to let the hand do its job while throwing a dart/stone than try to control the angle, speed, posture by brain?
2) How is mechanical memory created in the first place?
3) Is repetitive trials over a long time, singling out a method, trying it a few more times, becomes mechanical memory?
