The curse of Education?

I came across  http://qz.com/489579/a-long-and-painful-goodbye-to-my-dying-grandparents/ The story in these pics has become a common story across India. Look at any community you will see elderly parents and grand parents living alone. They worked hard to give their kids the best education they possibly could. The whole generation sacrificed their present so that future of theirs kids could be bright. They pushed and kids also worked hard, got educated in good colleges. Some secured jobs in cities far away from home town, other moved abroad and the parents/grand parents were happy. Their kids were enjoying success. Time passed by. Parents and Grandparents  started retiring. Age started catching up. They were left with eternal dilemma whether to move with kids or stay at home town. What would they do whole day. No one knows them in new place. Kids coming back once a year becomes the event that they wait for. http://indiatogether.org/plight-of-retired-aged-people-livin...

Power of Rupee

In my last posting which luckily or unluckily happen to my first one also, I mentioned about Rs 2.00 and how much that is worth. Talking about worth I had often heard my grandparents and parents say how much you could get in 1 Re in their era. My mom used to tell me before her marriage she used to drink coke for 4 Anna or 25 piase. Once I asked my mom how is 25 paise equal to 4 anna and how much was 1 Anna as 25 was not divisible by 4. Thru her I came to know that earlier 1 Re did not have 100 paise, rather it had 64 paise which was equal to 16 anna. So 1 Anna was equal to 4 paise. So I wanted to know when did the change from 1 Re = 64 paise to 1 Re = 100 paise happen. Here are some interesting facts about our own currency Rupee that I gathered. India introduced new coinage post independence on 15 Aug 1950 while Pakistan was much quicker as they introduced new coins in 1948 and currency bills in 1949. Have you heard the dialog "Mein khoon pasinaa baha ke tumhari pie pie chuka dong...

How are hurricanes named?

I recently noted that hurricanes names seemed to have some pattern in hurricane names: Katrina, Rita, Wilma. They looks alphabetic but there are missing letters. All look like names of females. So I wanted to know how they are actually named and it turned out to be more interesting than I thought. Here some interesting facts Tropical storms in North Atlantic are named in such a manner that masculine and feminine names alternate one after the other. And yes they are in alphabetic order, so my guess was right. The logical conclusion here is that there can be max 26 names. No, There are can only be 21. As they don't name storms by Q, U, X, Y, Z. So the next logical question is what happens if you have more storms then 21. Then they start naming them by name Greek alphabets starting with alpha beta. 2005 would be the first year to use these letters. So 2005 is the with record number of storms. Oh, did I tell you the names for all storms till 2010 have been named. And most storms after ...
