eat you though I could have, and you
also saved my life, in this way we save
each others’ life. It is indifferent and will

forest without looking back with each other Human will cling on to
Rational Thought at the expense of any
other faith. He nurtures and nourishes it
with him, all along. But, when, final

rational thought has nothing to offer to
him. It does not have any benevolence
for him. It is as lifeless, emotionless as
nature itself. It just vanishes in nature.

15. Finally,
• What is “Life Of Pi”? Why this Title? Why not “adventure of
PI” or something similar….
– Troubled Childhood (teased by everyone) to Religious
Explorations to Trans-Pacific-Voyage to Stable Family and
Professional Life?
– Shipwreck to Mexico Shore?
– Are these two different? Is not one representative of another?
• Why PI?
– Pi is a very strange number
– Irrational number, but deterministic (can be generated thru eqn)
– Geometrical Reality { Is Geometry Real?? Platonic?? }
– Reality beyond Rationality
