Me n Maths teachers

As mentioned in previous post, i never really liked maths but somehow the maths teachers were always my favourite.
Let's begin with Mathai Madam in std 5. Daily homeworks and a very enchanting smile was why i liked her. Now i liked the homeworks because she always gave "good" in that.
Next was Khandeshwar sir in 8th and 10th standard. He taught very well, but that's hardly any reason to like him. I liked him because he liked me and had hopes on me. At teh beginning of 10th standard when he was leaving us he told me that if he would have been there, there was no chance of me getting even 99 in teh exams.
Then was Pandya sir. In 10th, 11th and 12th standard. It is him who taught calculus and trigonometry. But i liked him because he wore very fashionable clothes and was liked by nobody except me and his crush (one of my classmates). Later i had also chosen to be pandya sir in the annual teacher's day.
Then when i was in college, it was Dr. Lavanya S. Her beauty puts aishwarya rai to shame and teh amount of jewels she used to wear would put even a bride to shame.
2nd sem and 3rd sem, it was Manjula Madam. She was beautiful but wore no jwellery but took real pains to teach maths, she discussed Dickens and philosophy in the class. I had a serious crush on her and did many funny incidents. But then we never knew that she was cancerous and when she died, was my unhappiest day in the college.
So that was my maths teachers stories. and tehy are my only favourite teachers.

Which is a contradiction to the supposition that I hate maths.

Hence i love maths.

Hence proved

Q.E.D.

Me n Maths

Well to tell you at the very beginning, I didn't like Maths. No, never. But somehow this things comes back to me again and again in many forms and finally now, i have no other go than to like the subject.
But now maths is more of a powerful tool, just liek say MS word to solve the problems that we face, And nowadays i am seriously thinking about doing something to mathematically model the human body. Can we do it? ......... Well, let's not worry about it for teh timebeing and start the story telling.
Why I hate Maths? Well there is nothing bad in maths but it was my failure in subjects, thankfully at teh non crucial times that made me averse to it.
The very first one: My standard 1 admissions. I know it was a mockery show as nobody was rejected after the interview, but still we had this so called interview. There after taking milliseconds to answer the colour of the object and identifying the animals in the pictures i was given this herculian task of counting the number of bottle lids. And i was wrong. I had counted 9 instead of 10.
From that time onwards, i took up Maths as just something to scrape through. But yeah, i didn't ever had to really try hard to pass. But as a hype created by people around me that even below 95% or 4th highest in Maths is a failure, i failed quite many times.
I remember that I got 97 in 10th exam because of a cistren and tank filling problem and i am so angry on that class of problems that till date i always leave them as with the case of conditional probability because of which i lost another 3 marks in 12th.
But now here I am, through and through in control system, full of applied maths, and developing new theories considering the span and nullspaces of vector space and then finding their root plots. I have chosen my life in such a way that i have to love this now.

No, I can't wait.

Well i like day dreaming a lot and I always think that I am very famous and so i am finally interviewed by some television channel. It is generally either Barkha or Oprah. Let's stick to Barkha.
And now the most awaited question comes, if you were to date any 3 women in the world, who would that be. Ahem Ahem.
So here is the answer. Well, the answer is so much thought of and may be by the time I get famous, these people will be real old granmas. But yeah, these are the women i would really like to spend an hour or two with.

1) Juhi Chawla : She represents the huge band of actresses i love. I mean in my list of favourite actresses which also include Hema, Sridevi, Urmila, Rani and Sushmita, she is the one who has held up the place for the longest time. yeah now i agree she has become "buddhi", but noone was more happy than me i guess when she got a nomination for best actress 2005 in star screen awards. I bet it will be a nice date with her coz she is always so chirrpy and fun loving. Great if she brings her daughter Jhanvi too.

2) Sushmita Sen : I don't know why i like her so much. I don't think she is so beautiful. But her news always catches my attention.
Here are teh reasons why I like her.
a) She is so bold. it's really a great thing to adopt a kid when u r the most eligible bachelor in the country.
b) Her Miss India wardrobe was made by her mom, with socks and glove and all. But then she proved herself. Her confidence inspite of having a well established model as competitor was awesome.
c) Rendezvous with Simi Garewal. she was absolutely stunning in the show and i guess the only person amonst her guests who could have put even simi to shame. More at the time of the 100th episode celebration of the serial where it seemed that she herself was the anchor and sang that George Michael song.
d) Her absolutely stunning looks in "Main Hoon Naa". she gave a new deinition to saree.

3) Maneka Gandhi: Yup, it's teh old woman Maneka but i really adore her. I knwo most people hate her but don't see that part. Yes she is a bit too serious. The issue may be not. But then she is not like the polititians who say something and do something. I was surprised to find that she doesn't even drink milk as a hardcore vegetarian and sets example of stunning son Varun Gandhi as an example of a boyraised on only mother's milk and vegetarian food.
I am not a vegeratian myself and will never be, but her strong will and determination are so good. It's so difficult to be agianst such a powerful lady as Mrs Indira Gandhi. But she did it. she could haev become the PM by now if she would have done footlicking of her sasu maa. But she dared to be different. and that's why i like her.

so here wer my dream dates. hope my dream comes true.

A lovely challenge

Well , surely no doubt about it that there are many great Mitra's born till date. I can remember 2 S.K. Mitra's only. One is some hotshot physics guy whose pics i saw in my school physics lab. Another one is the author of famous DSP book.
Other than that, there is the famous fictional character by Satyajit Ray- Feluda or Prodosh Mitra. Then there is Bibhutibhushan Mitra, Suchitra Mitra and many many more.
But surely with due respect to all mentioned above and those who i missed, the most famous atleast whom most of the people throughout india know is This woman ------------------->
Koena Mitra.

And surely my dreams have not died yet. I do want to be the most famous Mitra. What a lovely competition !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tryst with small cities

Somehow against my wishes I have always been a small city guy. Though I always wanted it big. First of all it was Nagpur. Though I can hear no bad thing about nagpur, but it is a true fact that it is a small town.
Then people generally go to big cities to study further. But I went to an even smaller town. Mangalore. It's beautiful. Real cute and 100% literacy which you can feel around you. Beautiful beaches, beautiful people. But still a small town and it was here that I decided that I don't want to stay in a small town. After placements I was confident that finally I will settle in my dream city bangalore. But fate had something else in store for me.
I was put for training in Mysore. Well, I agree it was a capital city earlier and still hosts the best looking palace in India but still a small town is a small town. It's in mysore that I learnt how good the real kannada people are and the general grudge people have against the south Indians just ca't be for the kannadigas. These people are the real "mind their own business" types. Now after four months here and the weekends in bangalore, my will got stronger about staying in big cities. Most of the people in the training were scared of a gimmick that Chennai Infy is expanding and there is a high chance that everybody would be placed there. Only I was happy. My first choice was always bangalore, but if not, chennai was my second option. People said the food is bad but I am a fan of rice and rasam lunch. People say girls are bad, who cares?? People say autowalas are bad, I agree. But is that a reason to hate a city. I had 3 reasons why I liked chennai over any place than bangalore.
1) It is nearest to bangalore. Hehehe ( kahani mein twist)
2) I had one of my best friends there.
3) It has a beach. Rather it has beacheS.
Whatever the speculation was, I was transferred to a small town yet again. Bhubaneswar or BBSR. I have already written enough about BBSR, so no more. But the only consoling that people gave me that it's only 6 months. Then I will be in USA.
But the reality is even USA has it's small towns. And College Station is one of the smallest. It's the more modern and well equipped than any other big city in India I agree. But you still see the small town mentality.

Now I have observed a trend. I am going downwards. I mean Nagpur>Mangalore>Mysore>BBSR>College Station..... Who knows what my next destination is??????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
