Poor Zeno

When Zeno sent the arrow to the target, he said it has travelled 1m distance.A real number analyst may smile at him, thinking that how can a solid piece travel a distance of 1unit from 0unit of distance. Because it is proved mathematically that between two consecutive real numbers, there are infinite number of real numbers. If the arrow was substituted by the thoughts it would have been possible because thoughts are only thoughts. If this incident is seen by a metrologist, he may agree with Zeno.According to a metrologist no mearusrement can be measured accurately.But he may add one more thing to what Zeno said. He may say that "i will agree with you provided you should add to your comment that you have reached your target within the tolerance limit". Poor Zeno he may agree with that.

Converging Moments




It was a great moment when all the artistes converged to a single stage show. Thank God i got the chance to be a part of it.
The venue was Jakoor Air Force ground,Banglore.
The stage area = 3 acres.
The number of artistes = 4000
The number of audience = 25 lakhs

People from various countries were there floating their flag.They include china, Pakistan, ghana,russia,...Totaling of 144 countries

The first photo is a chinese girl holding her flag ready for her image to be captured in the camera.
The second one is a Pakistani girl taking photo of Guruji(Sri Sri Ravishankar)

Friends,New & Old


I was enough lucky to be one among the 4000 artistes when all are producing the same notes in carnatic classical music in phase. I met many artistes not only in flute department but also in violin, mridamgam, vocals, veena.... We got a new friend, Raviraj who lives in Banglore itself. Though he talked to all of us , it was Priya who understood his interest and knowledge in spirituality. He is a nice person(sitting at the left extreme).Priya is dominating equally in flute, violin,vocal(both carnatic and hidustani). She has also shown her talent in anchoring in various programmes. Sreekumar is the youngest in our group(sitting at the right extreme). Definitely, he is a growing artististe with high pace. I am in the middle among the five. The guy next to me is Ram Raj, a vocalist. Though he is a vocalist he succeeded in giving the basic note "Sa" in flute. I do appreciate his courage, interest and talent shown.

Revelations

I do remember a mischievous news shown in television about a mathematician who became mad for his too much interest in the subject. There was no reason for remembering this news until i got the picture shown above as an e-mail attachment. Is it possible to happen like that? Yes, it is. Why is so happening? May be due to his inability or unluck to reach to the required result. He may not have got enough family and official support. What ever be , he may not have got the result in his paper, but we got a result from this. Do you know what is that? It is what is hanging at the tip of the square root in the paper which is shown above. But his failure can lead for the birth of another way to start a new thoughts. Seeing the figure, I think it is not a bad idea to find the bending moment of the square root in which he is hanging now. See the figure, it is analoguous to a weight acting at a distance from the tip of the cantilever. Because the square root can be considered as the cantilever and the body hanging may be considered as the point load. Definitely we can find the length of the cantilever as it is drawn on a graph paper.But unfortunately, i don't know the weight of his body. So next time if one is thinking of such paper suiciding, he/she should not forget to give the weight of the body along the scale of the graph.Who knows, such informations can lead to new discoveries.
