My right brain is rusty to an extent that it calls for emergency measures

I have studied core subjects like optics, quantum physics, elecromagnetism, atomic physics and ..... in college. But frankly speaking, I don't know a single thing about all this. Just cleared the papers somehow.(the open secret is that one does not need to study to clear exams in Delhi university:))

But lately, I have an urge to study these subjects again. My job is not giving me enuf kick. Surely, I keep learning new technologies related to programming but that is not science. It is plain logic. and on day to day basis, one does not even need to apply logic. It is all routine work which one can do with closed mind and that is what I have been doing till now. It is not science for sure. Just doing the things with hook or crook and once the program is running no body cares how it works and whether it is a good way to do it or not. We somehow, have missed the opportunity to link programming with science. Though, they call it computer science, it is not science. May be in the things related to computer hardware, it may be true but surely programming is still being done in a very unscientific way.

So whole day my right brain keeps screeming that I should use it. but for years now, I have not used it. And my brain is getting rusty. The only way to get my right brain working, I feel, is to learn physics or maths. That can be the only simulant to my brain.
