ON MATHEMATICS

There is a very little chance of people loving this subject. But, if we really understand it, then there is no alternative but to fall for it. Mathematics is one such subject. During school days, it took a braveheart to really like this most misunderstood subject. As we surpass ourself in age, we tend to mostly ignore it. Better still, we are all the more keen to put maths into the dustbin. It becomes all the more clear when we realise how this subject had become the embodiment of our previous embarrassement. Remember, the time one tried to pickup the nuances of a subject that put fear in the heart of even the most courageous of souls. Quite differently, maths is a subject that dwells into the finest of aspects of human existence. See, what if there is another Galaxy somewhere! Just like ours. And there, they have different set of rules. Different laws of physics altogether. Now in our planet, two goats + Two goats make four goats. So too in theirs. Two Aliens + Two Aliens will make four Aliens and not five, six..however different should their laws be. Maths never changes. The beauty of this subject is so vast that it is eternally linked to all fields of science. No scientific proof is complete without it being derived/compiled in maths. The only crime this subject does is that it gives us answers devoid of emotion or irrationality. It chooses to be blunt and seeks no forgiveness. We happily co-exist with it; totally unaware that all we think as the truth might just be there-lurking to be opened as a fact. Maths cannot lie. Only we can.Hence we deny.

The Evolution of Toothbrush and Paste

There is one thing about a toothbrush. It never fails to clean our teeth. Even with bad toothpaste. But as toothbrushes have evolved, the human tooth decay has been accentuated. Our ancestors always had a good set of teeth. That was required for their survival. But also, the art of planting paste to a toothbrush is the most daunting task known to mankind. Ever. But even more difficult is the muscle activity involved in moving the little brush over your teeth,standing near the wash basin and then spilling all the poison out of the mouth. If early human would have known this daily ritual, he would have died out of a massive stroke. Anyways, here I am explaining the virtues of tooth polish. Just like shoe cream polishes one's shoes and varnish polishes the furniture and a hair remover polishes off everything else-a toothpaste with a toothbrush polishes your teeth. It also prevents tooth decay, keeps gums healthy and avoids bad breath. But that is for the advertisements to say. With the fit of ads on tooth pastes and brushes, I begin to wonder if the dental trouble is the most important problem before the nation. Even though many doctors suggest brushing, twice daily,I still prefer the ancient way. After dinner or lunch or in their spare time,the ancient way was to sit together huddled, in a corner. Over discussing daily affairs, those people used to use both their hands with all their fingers to progress inside of their respective set of teeth. As these hands entered the mouth, the nails completed rest of the task. The teeth set was spank clean. Dentists were never required

The world according to me..

Everybody is not offerred the occassion to change the world. Knowing oneself, the act of self-discovery is the greatest step towards shaking hands with our world. But everyone lives in their own 'universes'. Thats why we have conflicts, wars, fights, etc. To bring a world where we think on a same platform, on a same wavelength is the upmost challenge awaiting us. The challenge is not to fortify ourselves but to open up; the challenge is not to sleep through dreams but to dream through our sleep as well as our life. All of us will die oneday. That is the truth. But more importantly what have we contributed in between life and death so that the death is a sweetner rather than a sick pill is important. This is not to suggest that we think similarly, dream similarly or we do things similarly. But to enhance our existence it is to suggest that we awaken, enlighten ourselves. We should make all possible efforts to further charm the living of the future generations. The most important task for the survival of humanity is symbiotic co-existence. It is not worth our while to be called a human if we cannot change the life of a single individual. The race towards sanity is a race towards humanity,social living and survival.
