Recess from Recession

The day started usual,read a few editorials from the Hindu, just in order to keep myself at bay from the regular "YADA YADA" of the other newspapers,and then headed off to read the news on the Internet,and then i came across this particular news, a news of everyone's interest.

"The International Monetary Fund’s latest forecast upgrades its global economic growth predictions for next year by 0.5% from its predictions three months ago, but warns that the pace of recovery remains uncertain."

Hell yes!! finally the economy is coming out of recession, well of course it will take some time for an overall settlement or more precisely put as "creation of balance in the global economies,"but the good news that stays at the top is the tough times are about to be over.

Well if u are "still" employed this news is like Christmas,the layoffs which tormented the lives more fiercely than any cyclone are to be reduced by the issue of this report. (Fingers Crossed)
In times of crisis companies appear to be cutting back even on false hopes of career progression.

A Strip from the Dilbert clearly signifies how difficult it has been for those which are "still" employed,forget the promotions:
"Who needs shelter, food or health care? We should be happy to have a job."

Result declared

The university result has been declared,
"I am Devastated,Destroyed,Sabotaged and Savaged...."

The result didn't turn out to be like the way i had expected,in fact almost a shocker,

I wont quote the exact numbers or details,but there seems to be some mis-interpretation or some improper data-handling by the university staff,
will file a re-evaluation for a subject.

A student who has already got an increment of 22 marks
(changeover from sad-52 to a respectable-74 in Electromechanics),has no faith in the university grading and checking system.

Good news is that thought the marks are not great,but am still not out of the league of the 65%ilers.
"Down,but Not-Out"

Now in just a few months,placement season will begin,the companies will come and visit the campus,conduct rounds of interviews,HR rounds ,etc etc et-cetra.

Got to buckle up and work hard for this process.

In the end all i have to say is.....

I am Devastated,Destroyed,Sabotaged and Savaged....,
but i will rise,because :

I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

Is this vedic mathematics?

Is this vedic mathematics? !@!#!@#$#%^%^%

Time and again,the age old rules of mathematical operations have contributed to the field of mathematics and science,but those who know me would be aware that for me,it is the most detestable and abhorrent thing,

Let me make this very clear that I am not against what Rishis and Munis did in that era,they were the Newton's and Galileo of those days,also I am not undermining the contribution of vedic system of mathematics,its just the "Kalyug's" 21st century preaching of vedic maths is what making the heckles rise.

What the Rishi's did was they established their own system of mathematics,and they wanted this system to develop,not just pass from one generation to another.

"Being Indian doesn't compels me in anyway to love the vedic's way of mathematics."

It is of utmost importance to anyone who follows or will follow this system,that they are aware of not just the tricks but also how the tricks enabled them to reach the solution i.e. they should be able to justify these tricks,may be via proofs not just be examples.


For CAT takers :
I personally do not recommend anyone doing the vedic or any other shortcut way of multiplication and/or for any other arithmetic operations ,

Yes i am aware DI involves a lot of calculations,but if these "non-conventional" methods are not applied properly,these may lead to incorrect answers, also an important parameter wil be that it will make you awry of the usual routine practices of calculations and this will be a major factor in losing marks in the Quants section,
and I continue to believe that we all are comfortable with Mathematical Tables upto 20,
if yes then the rest of the tricks are just CRAP !!,
so no need of these in CAT or other "good" Management entrance examinations.

Some will say that "a minute saved is a minute earned",but let us put this into the perspective,
how much time will this save and how much minutes will it waste.
