Sudoku and Lo Shu

Only few knowledge about the source of Sudoku is known.It was formerly called ' Number Place' and was developed by the puzzle designer Howard Garns.The Sudoku square looks similar to the magical square called 'Lo Shu' invented by Chinese..But the Sudoku square itself is not magical.

According to Chinese legend the magic square , 'Lo Shu' first appeared on the back of a scared turtle 2,500 years ago in the waters of the river Lo.Open circles meaning yang odd numbers and solid ones for yin even numbers.

English Short Poem

Life is hard so play it hard
You may fall like pack of cards but never lose heart
You may have a free fall but you should have the power to stand tall
Don’t doze because there is lot more places to rise
Failure is temporary and it leaves you in a hurry
Success is eternal and it accompanies you till you are buried

The Motivational Speaker

I'm going to these AIPMT [All India Pre-Medical Entrance Exams] classes and today, they announced that we were going to have motivational classes starting at 2 o' clock in the afternoon. Many were rather disconcerted about this, because being the real hard-working students, they saw this as a waste of time. But I was rather overjoyed [partly because I love philosophy and partly because I dislike classes]. At first someone gave us an intro and then, the motivational speaker arrived. He was a pretty tall man and had a long tilak on his forehead. He was some sort of engineer and had got distinction from ILO and UN or something [I forget].

How Chocolate Got Its Name

The word "chocolate" entered the English language from Spanish.^[3] How the word came into Spanish is less certain, and there are multiple competing explanations. Perhaps the most cited explanation is that "chocolate" comes from Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, from the word "chocolātl", which many sources derived from the Nahuatl word "xocolātl"  made up from the words "xococ" meaning sour or bitter, and "ātl" meaning water or drink.^[3]  

                                               However, as William Bright noted^[4] the word "chocolatl" does not occur in central Mexican colonial sources, making this an unlikely derivation. Santamaria^[5] gives a derivation from the Yucatec Maya word "chokol" meaning hot, and the Nahuatl "atl" meaning water. More recently, Dakin and Wichmann derive it from another Nahuatl term, "chicolatl" from eastern Nahuatl, meaning "beaten drink".^[6] They derive this term from the word for the frothing stick, "chicoli".

THE FATE OF TITANIC

Plastic on Roads - Dr. Vasudevan [Dean, TCE]

It was an exciting morning for us, fellows of 12th standard in Jeevana. The Prefects Swearing-in ceremony has always been like that: nervous about the oath-taking, sitting still like a statue for an hour and even harder, managing to stay awake while some guy drones on about hard work and determination. But this time, it was truly inspiring... because we had the most inspiring chief guest ever - Dr. Vasudevan, a Dean of Thiagaraja College in Madurai, who had invented a process of using shredded plastic to lay roads which last for about 10 years. He wasn't just some absent-minded scientist working on formulas and stuff for application of chemistry. He was a... visionary, yup... that's the word for it. He is someone who dreams of India as more prosperous than it is now, someone who encourages innovation and environmental protection and someone who values humility and spirituality.

Hi Everybody :)

This is my first post in this blog and I'm hoping to write lots more :D !

I also write  another blog... a team blog my friends and I created about a year ago - [C.H.A.N.G.E.] If I start talking about that, I'll go on for another two hours, without stopping... To cut a long story short, it's just something we started, to "make a difference in the world" [people usually lift their eyebrows so high whenever I say that, that for a moment it's almost like I told them I was in love with a monkey]...

My Essay in the topic that the duty of a teacher is to show practical examples for what they teach or not

Studying is one of the important activities that human does all his life, so everyone in this world are students. Some are self-taught others are taught by a teacher but the most important thing of what we study is to remember it, here is where the teacher should help the students to remember what they have studied by relating the things with day to day activities and practical examples. The following essay of mine throws light on the strong reasons why, I chose this side.

My Essay in the topic that a Civilization should be judged by art or the quality of life of ordinary people

Creativity in human mind is best reflected in the form of Art, Art and Civilization have connections for thousands of years. The first step when the ancient civilization progressed was when they started to draw graffiti in the rocks. As civilizations reached the modern stage the art produced by human beings were exemplary, thoughtful and shows the social and economic landscape of the time they lived. Art has always had a huge number of Followers, especially the upper class supported Art on all times. I strongly believe that achievements of a culture or civilization should be judged by the art that has been produced. The following essay of mine throws light on the strong reasons why, I chose this side.

          Those grinning faces had the perfect set of teeth one could ask for.Rick's legs were trembling as he felt the coldness of the hands that was clutching him.Rick turned towards Paul.His spiked had hair had come down over his forehead and his face was pale.Both displayed the perfect set of emotions indicating both were terrified at what they were seeing which stood at the front.But both thought to themselves that they are masking their horrors,but they were on the negative.

Wonderful sleep :)

Hey Guys, If God gives me a extra 15 minutes everyday, I will ask him for another boon, please make me sleep that 15 minutes without any other work to do. This shows that how much I love sleeping but which I forcefully avoid due to my other passions like chess,books and friends. I would like to share with you guys an interesting event in my life from the past.

Physics and Practicals followed by curiosity

As the proverb says ' Curiosity kills the cat' it happens quite often.I may not be sure that curiosity mostly leads to embarrassing situations but sometimes it does when you are over curious..Well this incident is one such when i was damn curious in physics class..Our group was provided with two beakers one filled with kerosene and another with hydrogen oxide (water, of course).The aim was to measure the density of the liquid with help of lead shots. As usual my friends allowed me to do first knowing my uncontrolled anxiousness ..Oh,yeah ! i did it and the results were good except for the kerosene

Some Tips...

Now am going to give you all some health tips which I got from my aunt. I dunno whether it works or not But some can believe in this.....First of all one thing before taking these tips . One should have positive thoughts before doing these ...

.To Become slim...

Many of you may want to become thin. Its a thing for people that being some what fat is a curse and they feel like they were pushed alone always.

1.Add a teaspoon of honey in a tumbler of hot water and mix it well . Drink this every morning to become slim. My brother has tried this and got some improvement after a while. This may take some time But be regular.

To Become fat....

Most of the thin fellows will be teased due to their thin body. But you know only they can do everything with that body even if they beat it will be more painful.But if any of you like to become fat

1..Add a teaspoon of honey in a tumbler of milk of medium heat and mix it well . Drink this every night before going to bed to become fat.I am doing this these days .It should be done regularly as I refuse this even my mother compels as I don't like milk.{care:don't add honey in hot milk as the milk will get wasted}

2. Eat a country banana(naatu vazhai palam) daily night. This will surely improve your body and blood circulation.

To Become tall....

hahaha... mostly many will drink complan for this... But you know there is another way. Do some skipping and pull ups to every morning . May be this will make you taller...

These tips are for our satisfactions . But if we maintain our normal diet and eat consistently doing proper work and taking proper rest we could maintain our body .

But try these out carefully and regularly for some improvement.

Yours

Kumararaja[hoping you all try this and will tell the results after few days]

Rick said, "Hey,we have successfully come out of our house,so now do you have any idea what we are going to do now?". Both of their eyesight fell on one line.Both knew what the other thought.And in fact both thought the same-"Feel free to do anything we want to do!!".
             Both were just strolling the dark streets which were just lit a little by the dim street lights.In some cases the the streets were perfectly dark,with no source of light,neither of them care about it.

Mobile and Me :)

Hey Guys, when you enter a temple you see the board, please switch off your cell phones, Everyone obediently follows that rule but I don't follow that rule as I have a super smart phone which doesn't make any noise inside the temple. Guys don't come to the conclusion...

Out In The Dark : Part-2

For the previous part click:-
Part 1

             Rick was silent for a second and then whispered into the phone- "Hey.dude you definitely have brains in giving the most craziest ideas in this whole world!!". Paul retorted,"Someone told that he is going to dash my brains out,what happened now?".
              "Aww... come on ".
               "So are we going to that insanity?"
               "Insane people do insane things!!"
               "Then I assume we are going to be the night watchmen today!!"......

FEARFUL NIGHT

Sleeping alone at home is not easy when you have thieves broken into your neighborhood.The night was pitch black and I was with my novel reading it past 1 O'clock.I was sitting near the window

Out In The Dark : Part-1

                The orange rays of the sun poured into Littleville as the small town was about to enter a cold evening,eminent from the breeze which gave the people down there a cold run down their spine.Littleville was a small overdeveloped village where you could not find any lack of resource,and it was almost a city.Kids and children over there are the highlight of the town,they always seem to be carefree,and seem to be withholding just one motto in life- "No matter what,nothing is an issue".All streets would swarm up with teens, doing different activities- playing soccer,bicycle stunts,races,softball,also just gathering at a corner and whiling away time by just munching and chatting general teenage issues...those talks would greatly be over dominated by girlfriend boyfriend talks.....

LIFE ???????

LIFE ? How do you rate it friends? To be precise, hmm.......ludicrous! Life is certainly not a bed of roses but it is also not all thorns and snare. So are you going to rate it based on your woes? Everyone would say life is a drudgery. But not really, because generally when asked about a particular thing people mostly remember the negative points. Not to be blamed because it is our general attitude.

Funnily Floped Test : Part -2

To read the first part click the link below
Part 1

After what you call a scrappy lunch,I went to the examination hall.As a matter of fact I was late again,not very surprising to many.I was directly handed the sheets and the questions.I was not very tensed here because,I personally wanted to flop this one.There were two drawing questions.....

Funnily Flopped Test : Part-1

Hey Guys,
                She looked at me with her beautiful eyes,I looked back at her.Once again,she turned and gave a glancing look,I stared at her again....
                 Reason:Both of us did not know the answer in the examination hall.

Pain of a music lover

I have always been a fan of the radio shows aired after night 9'0 clock that's the time, when you get to hear the evergreen melodies of 70's and 80's and not the Ussume Laerasay and Naaka Mukka type of songs.My most favorite show is Mirchi Gold with Karthik, The tunes played are really magical and mesmerizing. Songs rendered by musical giants like Yesudas,SPB,Malaysia Vasudevan,Ilayaraja and the wondeful tunes composed by MSV,TMS,Ilayaraja has no words to explain.

Respect others idealogies and thoughts :)

It was sunny Saturday, The only day when the school bus schedule is disrupted, The day when I have to take the school bus which takes the tiny tots along with the seniors(The school bus schedule is really weird to say :) ) To my added woe, I am the only XII student in that bus route, so to entertain myself, I enter into chat with 8th and 9th standard students. I always find their thinking patterns highly different. They think that if you are in standard XII....

Robbery..More like...Trickkery

Hey Guys,
                A notorious robber once told at the court when he was questioned by the magistrate - "I asked for a bike to God,well it did not work that way,so I robbed one,and I asked for forgiveness".The magistrate was flabbergasted and did not utter a word.But the accused was continuing -"Umm.... now God does'nt seem to give forgiveness too,so I am dependent on you"......

Punctuality Does Not Knock The Door....

Hey Guys,
                I define punctuality like this - "It is the art of guessing how late the other fellow is going to be".Or we can have it this way , "Punctuality is a virtue,if you don't mind being alone". There is a thick line,well,not really a line but rather a strong concrete wall between me and punctuality.My mom tries to break it,but I don't want to,because I personally like being late everywhere.
                  By telling about punctuality,everyday in the morning I get to know the exact definition of school bus- "It is a vehicle which runs twice as fast when you are chasing it than when you are sitting inside it"......

SLUM FOR SALE......

Hey friends you all know that there are a lot of problems to be debated about in this world. One among them is the following one. Recently i saw a brief program in discovery channel; it was about a slum called Dharavi. It is located in one of the big cities in India. Guess what? It is in Mumbai. You wouldn't believe guys, this is one of the largest slums in the world covering an area of about 216.51 hectares and the current population is around 1 million

The condition over there is really pathetic. You know friends there is a funny
situation prevailing over there. The government has planned for a redevelopment program and the initial budget was 5000 crores in 2004. In 2010 it is estimated at 15000 crores and the plan has not even been initiated. Companies from all over the world have bid to redevelop Dharavi including the popular Lehman brothers. Now the plan is managed by an American trained Indian architect Mr.Mukesh Mehta. The plan involves the construction of 30,000,000 square feet of housing, schools, parks and roads to serve the 57,000 families, along with 40,000,000 square feet of residential and commercial space for sale. There has been significant local opposition to the plans, largely because existing residents are due to receive only 225 square feet of land each. Furthermore, only those families who lived in the area before the year 2000 are slated for resettlement. Then what are the other people expected to do, stand in the road holding placards and screaming for their rights (just to live). Concerns have also been raised by residents who fear that some of their small businesses in the "informal" sector may not be relocated under the redevelopment plan. The government has said that it will only legalize and relocate industries that are not polluting.

Actually the traditional business over there is pottery and textile industries. Apart from that there is an increasing number of recycling industry processing recyclable wastes from other parts of Mumbai. The district has an estimated 5000 businesses and 15000 single room factories. And my view about this plan is that it is not good enough. We have already seen quite a few corruption scams in India. Ok no problem let's wait and see who is going to loot this 15000 crores. The plan is too unfair. Have you ever seen a small scale pottery or textile industry in a well-developed area? But this is what the government is planning to do. In discovery channel they showed Mr. Mukesh Mehta entering the slum in his costly car. He came to convince the people of Dharavi. But he was unable to answer the questions raised. Consequently he walked out with his head drooped saying the people to list out their 10 important problems and then he would solve it after discussing with his officials. Sounding funny right? This slum is in an important area and it is like a money yielding tree. So the businessmen and the government are trying to transform it into a money yielding place by building shopping malls and huge industries. And for this the government is going to deteriorate the poor people. Not only me but most of the people are against this plan. This problem has made us to think whether we need a clean developed place by sacrificing the lives of many people or to save the lives of people. We are actually in a catch 22 situation. Hope a savior save them. Hey friends just feel free to post your comments on this disastrous program.

Funny Little Beings....

Hey Guys,
You know why most small kids and grandparents get along very well?? "they have a common enemy!".My mum often asks me-"Sethu, I find it really hard to digest that you were not able to talk in the first year you were born!!...but now...".Am glad that she does not finish her phrase.When you are utterly bored try talking with little kids in action...Don't be surprised what they are going to do.If you try to outsmart them,then they are going to drag you to their level and they will beat you with experience,so beware.
I asked one of my friend stunned by a little girl... "What is so fun with little kids?" He replied-"In making them!!".God!. Each one is a different bird in its own world of thoughts and imagination.I generally like small kids rather than babies for the fact we can talk with kids.Once, I was talking with one such mini Shakespeare- I asked him... "How do you spell crocodile?" he answered- "K-R-O-K-O-D-I-L-E"". I wittily retorted "That is wrong!" .He always had the habit of keeping his head cool... he told slowly with a sigh- "Well,maybe it wrong,but you asked how I spell it". This was an incident narrated to me by my dad... while he was talking to his eldest kid[Well,yes,that is me :)].
But these kids have one general defect... Well,they might have many,but this is what I feel is the most noticeable of all.If they set their eyes on something then its one hell of a job to convince them it is not worth it.But a slight change in my household,my kiddo brother can not be convinced at all, for he wants to prove his mettle that he could get whatever he wants to.If this happens once or twice,I would be the least bothered,but...You guys might know what am trying to tell here...
I usually love taking walk with small kids,Once i was going on like this with my niece...She suddenly stopped and took something off the road and was about to put it inside her mouth. I snatched it away and threw it. She sharply asked me why i did that.I told "That was on the road,you don't know where it would have come from and probably that might have germs".After I had finished my lecture...her eyes lit up,in admiration she asked- "DUDE,how do u know these stuff?? Cool!!" I was - "Uh??"

Gluttony....

Hey Guys,
If I tell that I am on a diet in my household,they would tell "No diet is good without exercise,so I've kept the dinner on the roof and there is no ladder around here".So in general to be candid I am one great glutton you could ask for.Okay,now let us consider it this way,If suppose I am on a diet,then at the end of 14 days I would have lost nothing but two precious weeks.Also,in this whole world no man can have more courage than the man who can stop after eating one peanut.
Regrettable fact here about me is,I never feel hungry in many instances,but at those times too I don't tell-"am not hungry"....Okay,if you did not understand the previous line,don't worry,I myself did not!Hey, wait, under the most of my own compulsion I put myself into diet just once,and that was the most miserable afternoon i've ever spent.
Most of my buddies are like me,when it comes to eating they are second to none.I remember one funny incident now... During the lunch hour,as usual we were at the top of our spirits.But two of my friends were too much beyond very good spirits.So,they eventually fell into a competition sort of a thing in eating.I was'nt in a mood to contest or else I would have given them a run for their money for sure.
Ironically,I was the match referee.It was going on and on,which even saw the lunch server joining hand with me in the entertainment.Finally the match was dismissed not because there was a winner but because we were not able to pick out a winner.And also we were running out of time and we were running almost 30 minutes late to our class.The funny part here is the pity on those two fellows,they were spending the rest of the day lying down and finding it difficult to move their tummy.On the other hand I was blissfully priding on myself spreading their fame and as well as the fun I had in watching.....
This is the universal dieter's law: The food that tastes the best has the highest number of calories!!

Thrown into Pool :)

Reliving my swimming pool experiences on 24.10.2010, I had finished my game with Boldbaatar Ulziibayar, A Mongolian player in the World Youth Chess Championship, held at Porto Carras,Greece in the month of October 2010. It was round 5 so we were in the mid way of the hard fought tournament, by then my score modest 3/5. The next day was a rest day. Generally Rest day for experienced players like us, is to eat well, sleep well, and have some recreational activities; those who want to explore the country only take tours to visit around the place, watching historical monuments. I had finished my game before the rest day fairly quickly as my opponent was not such a strong player, so I wasn’t made to sweat to win the game. Came back to room it was around 7 pm, my roommate Sethuraman also returned after finishing his game in few minutes. The big boys of the Indian team went to the dinner together and had the lip-smacking Mediterranean Buffet Cuisine which included Ham,Stew,Broccoli and lot more which needs a whole page to explain. The real fun started after dinner.

We went to the Table Tennis table to find it fully occupied by other countrymen, Then we swished our way to the Table Football in which we are proud to say that we have a great amount of expertise :), had a roaring time over there. At that moment, I felt a urge to go to beach in a chilly night to take snaps, I called upon Anwesh and Swayams to accompany me, so that we can have a wonderful time in the beach with the shore located inside our 7-Star Hotel, Anwesh and Swayams accepted to come under one condition that no Sweaters, no jacket should be worn. I accepted their demand. We went to the freezing beach with our respective cameras, to take some snaps. Then I hit upon the idea of having a threesome snap, In movies you would have seen three guys having guns in their hands and aiming at each other, so at the end all three will die firing at the same time or only hero escaping the gun shot. We readied ourselves for that fabulous shot.

Had a wonderful time in the beach on our way back we found the Night Club without not much of Partying going there, so we just entered there and made a few short dance steps and came back to the main action place the Table Football table.

In the meantime when we had gone to the Beach, my other team mates had hatched a plan to push me inside the swimming pool; I said OK when they said that they are gonna push me into the swimming pool as I had no other option they were fully determined to push me; I gave my camera and other gadgets in some safe hands and was ready for the push. Sethuraman,Anwesh,Swayams,Srinath,Nitin threw me with swing movement. I was fully soaked in water in that chilly night with temperature being only 4 degree Celsius, Think of my situation, even though this situation was quite humiliating, Its worth remembering because of the fun the guys had pushing me and the experiencing of the chilly winter in Greece. But sadly the picture which was taken when I was pushed into the swimming pool got deleted due to Swayams carelessness :(

Hope you enjoyed my style of writing and my experience, Waiting eagerly to hear your comments. Signing off is K.Priyadharshan who hasn't yet learned the art of swimming :)
