    The Train

    While browsing the Merriam Webster portal today, I checked that they have few interesting quizzes, word of the day section, puzzles like daily sudoku and interesting articles. Having checked the word of the day for the day and past week, found that I have a better score than the average score for my age in a vocabulary quiz and having played a game of sudoku in under five minutes, I turned to the interesting and informative articles! For someone like me – who loves to read, who loves to learn, who loves to learn new languages and who wants to improve their proficiency in the English language, these articles are…

    Introduction to Databases : Online Stanford Course

    Its been a real long time and I know that this particular post should have come out long back, but well, its better late than never 😉 I don’t always promote or endorse studies but this is one thing that I really wanted to. A friend of mine told me that Stanford University offers courses that can be taken online without any payment and there is so much that we can learn from them. I immediately checked the website and it was true. Thank you Sudheesh. Anyways, I took up a course of networking but I really didn’t continue it seriously. Later, I left that particular course. Then in my…

    Lightning..

    Oh yea.. very much that white thing followed by noise when the sky is black and usually raining or raining later.. that lightning 😛 “Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity accompanied by thunder, which typically occurs during thunderstorms, and sometimes during volcanic eruptions or dust storms. In the atmospheric electrical discharge, a leader of a bolt of lightning can travel at speeds of 60,000 m/s (130,000 mph), and can reach temperatures approaching 30,000 °C (54,000 °F), hot enough to fuse silica sand into glass channels known as fulgurites which are normally hollow and can extend some distance into the ground. There are some 16 million lightning storms in the…

    An infinite series…

    Hi People… just a few minutes back.. I was onto a discussion with some friends on a proof of ‘2 = 1’ The proof went – Let: X=Y > x+x-x = y+y-y > 2x-x = 2y-y > 2x-2y = x-y > 2(x-y) = x-y By dividing x-y both side: > 2=1 Now I know a majority will say that there has to be something wrong but what?? It looks perfect… But unfortunately.. who wrote this was a great doctor but had to learn a few things about math 😛 see.. I know its just for fun… what’s the harm, however, to learn a new thing?? you say… x + x…
