The Blog) With No Name', perhaps best described as a stream of notes and thoughts - 'remembered, recovered and (sometimes) invented'. Monday, January 30, 2006. I paid one chap fifteen thousand bucks and did a certificate in 'hardware'. I had great difficulty in understanding the books but worked very hard; but now it seems 'software' is better for a job and I feel lost. These are hard times. But what to do, I come here every morning and do some exercise on the lawns and share some information...The story...

A certain Indian Techie, who is based abroad with a reputed firm and is, to all accounts, having a blast out there with his lady-love, sums up his context and articulates the distant prospect of retirement thus:. Basically I save 1.2 lakhs a month.Very briefly, the plan is to save. Actually, the post-retirement is MUCH MORE clear! If one were to tr...

The Blog) With No Name', perhaps best described as a stream of notes and thoughts - 'remembered, recovered and (sometimes) invented'. Friday, July 29, 2005. Just like any other temple-site, there is a legend associated with this place; indeed this story is but a small fragment from a vast cycle of legends, myths and folklore called 'Parayipettu Panthirukulam' (well, there we go again! Whenever a baby was born to them, the husband would ask: "does the child have a mouth? The father 'seated' (buried? Beyon...

Henry Ford believes that even a machine needs rest. When asked why he favored short hours for workers, Henry Ford said that no good engineer will run even a machine at the limit of its power and speed for very long. Here in Pune, you sometimes find old and very old National Geographics at 'book fairs' which keep happening a...

The Blog) With No Name', perhaps best described as a stream of notes and thoughts - 'remembered, recovered and (sometimes) invented'. Tuesday, September 27, 2005. This is on a doubt I have had for most of my life so far. More basically, did folks here in India know that the rainbow came from a play of Sunlight (unlikely)? Is it the case that in some culture, some folk-tradition, the rainbow has a different number of colors? Well, that, if true, thickens the plot quite a bit! Note 2: Probably, most Indian...

The Blog) With No Name', perhaps best described as a stream of notes and thoughts - 'remembered, recovered and (sometimes) invented'. Saturday, August 27, 2005. Note: The 'u' in the word is that of 'cut'; the 'a' is the one of 'shape'; and the 'e' at the end of this word ought to be pronounced as the 'e' in German word 'danke' or 'u' of 'Tamil Nadu' -well, these two sounds sound pretty close to me! Moreover, the 'd' and the 'l' are retroflexed). I muse: "well, that is a new word! Even in the 1970's.".

This is in continuation of the previous post here, reporting on a suspected sighting of the 'Kurinji' in bloom. At Kate's Point, Mahabaleshwar. Here is a slightly edited copy-paste of a mail from Shrikant Ingalhalikar, author of 'Flowers of Sahyadri', clarifying some of the issues therein:. Posted by R.Nandakumar @ 1:27 PM.

Light (and its interplay with matter) is the flavor of these days and here is a bit more. Is a page from the cluster of expository material maintained by John Baez. That white clouds appear perfectly white with no tinge of blue probably refutes the 'blue film' idea given above. But I have no better idea. Refraction of li...

The Blog) With No Name', perhaps best described as a stream of notes and thoughts - 'remembered, recovered and (sometimes) invented'. Friday, November 25, 2005. This is on a problem I worried quite a lot about a long time back:. I guessed at a quadrilateral (with all angles measuring irrational fractions of PI but summing to 2*PI) and tried to prove that it cannot be cut into any finite number of mutually identical tiles.
