basics

i am habituated doing mathematical problems involving some widely known basic theories and facts. as the basic building blocks of mathematics are so common in use that i hardly think of how truthfulness of facts were proved. in spite of solving hundreds of problems based on circle area, i can't figure out how to prove the irrationality of pi. if i search for value of this constant, i may get value accurate up to 500 decimal places but it doesn't help me to know how pi was established as irrational entity. i look back and think of all mathematics books i read up to +12, i never crossed any basic book explaining proof of this truth. i searched the proof in wikipedia, but things explained is hard to grasp for me. handling pi is still tough.

is it hypothesis of geometry or rigorously proved that the area of rectangle is 'length x breadth' and volume of cuboid is 'length x breadth x height' ??? they interpreted dimensional features of real world and devised these two most basic form of tools to explain geometrical meaning of shape and size. it seems to be surprisingly unbelievable, some smart thinkers gave solid reasons for foundation of these formulae to calculate area and volume many centuries ago, in spite our course books fail to provide the logics how did mathematicians derived them. any kind of regular or irregular two dimensional geometrical shape is summation of n number of rectangles. any three dimensional figure is composed of n number of small cuboids. we explain everything in terms of these formulae but one one asks to explain these formulae.

a gal

it has been one week since i saw you online. i always check whether you put new pic in display. but it's same old cute pic. tonight i am missing you and i am little nostalgic about the time we spent chatting...cracking some jokes. when i met you online, i instantly connected to you. it might be my inability to find a right gal to overcome of being single or i found a gal what i dream. i enjoyed your presence and i talk over any topic. it is so comfortable and pleasing to be with you. the level of your liveliness and making-life-beautiful attitude make me lil crazy for you. i always tend to praise you lil more. you react to say that things look fairy tale over net and i don't know you actually. i may be blind. does life become perfect even if i know someone completely ? i admired you for being so different from me. your point of view on even simple topic is opposite of what i think of. i use to feel a sense of completeness. i was so pleasantly surprised to receive your call on my b-day. you had made my day. you wished me twice on 14th Jan, the day we met. you always asked me what's the special about this day ? and each time i couldn't think of what's the special. i always forget and you always remember.
one day you told me that you were seeing someone. i was shocked. yeah! our relationship is not made in heaven. but it was really cute as you let me know about your feelings and i saw pics of your boy. it's true i am not capable of doing something like veer-zara or you may not wish. in few years you would be married and busy with new life. let see how my life will take shape. in spite i would be in different world disconnected from you, your face won't fade away from my mind.

re-interpretation

moral values
prostitution is legalized in one country where as it is considered amoral and illegal in another country. as 10 yrs ago, kiss in public places was socially forbidden but today it is ok without any moral concern. same about pre-marriage sex. If the boundaries of morality is getting pushed day by day then what restricts us to embrace those things today like same sex relationship what we will accept after 20 yrs down the line ? what kinds of cultural, moral and social developments will take place which redefine the subject in different light ? things are justified purely based on personal freedom and liking. the human values, relationship and way of thinking are function of time and space. so the outcome of any human action would be wrong or right is true only for particular frame of time and space. how does GOD punish a person who did something when it was considered amoral but died after 30-40 yrs when it is socially accepted? similarly someone who is involved in legalized prostitution in Thailand but stays in India . so with change of time or space or both , so-called amoral actions become justified.

if you defeat law then you are a great guy.
we use terrorism in context of humane genocide by certain highly motivated groups for their own selfish motives which are against national interests. Take one example of Nepal maoist leader Mr. Prachanda. he masterminded several mass killings. he was declared state-terrorist by Nepal king. he would be shot down or possibly hanged to death if he ever caught. but with rise of power and popularity of Mr. Prachanda and at the same time decline in power of King, he would become prime minister of democratic Nepal in forth coming election. then his all past actions would be perceived worldwide as freedom fightings. Let see if LTTE cheif Prabhakaran dies as terrorist or as father of nation. have a look at Indian and Pakistani political industries. most powerful and legally respected men are legally not-proved tainted accused. highly appreciated villain characters in hollywood flicks are never nabbed by police. watch Basic Instinct, Sword fish, wild things and even hindi movie Dhoom-2.

rich men die in good shape.
it's common philosophy, if you do something bad then you have to suffer in your life for your bad actions. does it really hold ? i have seen many people dying miserably due to lack of wealth. it doesn't matters whether he did something great or bad. in most cases, what matters...does he/she have enough money to die comfortably? What is fault of people who are born in poor African nations or Afghanistan who are killed by local militants anytime for their no fault ? if GOD saves innocent people then when there is tsunami or volcano eruption or bomb blast then only bad persons should have died. does it happen even one out of a million cases ?

why IT industries are under crunch ?

do IT professionals work 40 hours of work per 5 days on average ? Why do IT companies happily pay to their employees doing bench sitting for next 6 to 9 months before companies successfully bid projects ? In spite of being rolled in project, one has to wait doing nothing (called hidden bench sitting in my terms) for 2 to 3 weeks before one gets another assignment. The waiting for assignment often goes beyond 3 weeks depending upon how fast the onsite people are able to resolve technical as well as functionality issues of assignments with client's functional team. Off shore Project teams are unnecessarily over-crowed. Company charges money per hour of an employee to clients. Clients are happy in spite of paying to extra not-doing-anything man power working for them. Are clients fool enough not to understand the way their projects are handled by IT companies ?
It has got one simple answer: Overall Clients still find cheap to outsource. So, for IT companies, extra employees are profitable in terms of payments they receive from clients.
How a company can accommodate 10,000 new employees per year where markets are getting saturated ? Everything has got limit.
One day we find breaking news: IT industries are deep in financial crunch. slight decrease in Dollar value stirred entire IT industries. Hundreds of employees got fired on the basis of shrewed and tricky test exams to cut down the cost. Top managements are deeply concerned about future profits. today this dollar devaluation reduced bench strength in a company to almost zero. it is good for industries to restructure themselve to improve efficiency.

male behaviour survey ?

Few days back, a reputed Indian news channel AAJ TAK was broadcasting a short movie they shot by hidden camera to expose how indecent Indian males are when it comes to treating females in public places. They hired few beautiful models and sent them during daytime at public places like bus stops to study the behavior of males in presence of good looking girls. Result was obvious. Many stared at. Some didn't hesitate to make remark like 'sexy'. Some even took pictures by mobile phones. Few dared to approach and talked with her which is almost like a threat. The anchor of the show was discussing this downfall of male character with psychiatrist and experts. I appreciate the channel for taking up an issue and raising the point of safety of women at public places. My concern is the validity of experiment the channel conducted. Does the people sitting idle and smoking at public places reflect the nature of male in general ? These men are plenty in number at these places who were recorded by hidden camera. The kind of visual survey the channel conducted didn't include all kind of males in various other places like restaurants, shopping malls in totality. The show was on with experts' discussion about immature survey.

Freakonomics: Book Review

Levitt, author of the book said during interview of the New York Times Magazine on August 3, 2003 that given the right data I could figure out how to catch terrorists. It might seem absurd for an economist to dream of catching terrorists. But the author is sure. He believes that numbers don't lie. In spite of being economist, his approach to any particular problem does not involve any simple economics theory to reach any conclusion but what he is exceptionally excellent at is finding out the a story in the millions of data that no one else has found and framing of right questions to measure the effects of one variable on others that many top economists find it unmeasurable. In this book the author explores wide range of topics like cheating, corruption, abortion vs crime, parenting and racial discrimination. The books consists of six chapters and each chapter starts with question like "What do school teachers and Sumo wrestlers have in common ?", "Why do drug dealers still live with their moms ?", "What makes a perfect parent ?". It's amazing that the author explores each case by illustrating the various data and statistics he collected over years and explaining with logic the various patterns and scenarios he finds. He uses personal observation, intuition and freakish curiosity to remove one layer or more from the surface of modern life and seeing what is happening underneath. He gives interesting examples where conventional wisdom is often wrong like money alone wins elections, many police in city means drop in crime, capital punishment deters the hard core criminals, swimming pool in backyard is less dangerous to your children than gun, good parents means reading out books to your children and taking them out for museum regularly, naming of your children doesn't affect their career prospects, the advice you take from an expert like doctor or real estate agent is always good for you. The investigation of the author is for common people to know how the world really works. During analysis of any problem (page no-10), the author makes a point how to frame a good question to know the correlation between two factors-let's say them X and Y. It is possible that X causes Y or it is also possible that Y causes X or it may be that a third factor Z causes X and Y ? He takes few real life cases to explain this correlation-ship. Cities with a lot of murders also tend to have a lot of police officers. Unless you have sufficient data, it's hard to say it's number of murders that is causing increase in number of police or it's extra police that is causing murders in cities. While extending the concept of asking right question, during discussing about parenting and education (page no-163), author gives two similar looking questions to clarify the importance of making other parameters constant while determining the correlation-ship between factors X and Y in any scenario.
1. Does having a lot of books in your home lead your child to do well in school ?
2. Does a child with a lot of books in his home tend to do better than a child with no books ?
The author mentions that simply measuring children with a lot of books against children with no books as in question 1, the answer may not be meaningful. Perhaps the number of books in a child's home merely indicates how much money his parents make. What we really want to do is measure two children who are alike in in every way except one as in question 2 - in this case, the number of books in his home - and see if that one factor makes a difference in his school performance. That's why it is said - To ask an intelligent question is more difficult than to answer same. The book entices readers to think and question the way we accept our normal life. As this book offers explanations for why certain things went wrong or right but it lacks to provide the ways to improve situations if it goes wrong. I have few questions about the author's findings I wish the author would have explained in this book.
1. The author finds how the legalization of abortion in 1970s in USA contributed to massive crime drop of the 1990s after 20 yrs of its legalization. Can we replicate same success in other countries where still abortion is not legalized ? If not, then why ?
2. The author finds that capital punishment is not deterrent to hard core criminals then how to devise an unique system to deter criminal.
3. How to control the cheating by real estate agent/doctors/lawyers/sumo wrestlers ?
This book offers thrill of treasure-hunt when the author explores subjects and binds the readers to the last sentence of the book. This book establishes the fact that whatever be complexity of problem, one can understand only by use of common sense and keen observation.
