I was just trying to get a count of the number of results being fetched by Google when queried using my name.....and I found this pretty old blog of mine..... well there are some more, but only this one was created on my name :)
A moment of flashback.....n i realized, gone are the days when I (or rather We) used to create blogs just for the sake of having one (most of the posts used to be copy-paste)....... gone are the days when I used to wait for people to click on my blog's ads just for generating some ad-sense revenue.....gone are the days when I used to push my blogs on top of the list on several blog promotion sites .... Now my life has moved onto Facebook.
We are now living in a world of Social Networking .... where everyone tries to share their best moments .... and we fail to realise whether the moment is really a happy moment or not ... and eventually we end up clicking the famous LIKE button.
Anyway, lets meet on FB :)

Some Thoughts on Education
Read the quotations below and think how you would answer the questions.
EDUCATION
“Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive: easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.” [Lord Brougham: in a speech to the House of Commons, 1828]
- Does the sentence suggest that it’s easier to control uneducated masses?
- Is it in the interest of those who wield power to keep people ignorant?
- Do you think that it’s still possible in the 21st century to doubt the benefits of education?
LEARNING
“A little learning is a dangerous thing.” [Alexander Pope]
- How would the meaning of the sentence change if it started with ‘little learning’ instead of ‘a little learning’?
- What can be dangerous about ‘a little learning’?
- Is ‘a little learning’ better than ignorance?
TEACHING
“Nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.” [Oscar Wilde]
- Which things are worth knowing that cannot be taught?
- If you were to choose things that you want to know, would they exclude things that you are currently learning?
- If certain things cannot be taught, does it mean that they cannot be learned?
INSTRUCTION
“The things which hurt, instruct.” [Benjamin Franklin]
- Do we learn better through pain?
- If children learn through fun and play, isn’t it proper education?
- Is an idea of punishment necessarily connected with instruction?
TEACHERS
“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” [Henry Adams]
- Doesn’t teachers’ influence stop the moment you leave the classroom?
- Have you ever been taught by a teacher whose lessons you will still remember after 10 or even 20 years?
- Is the teaching profession considered a ‘vocation’ or a ‘job’?
WISDOM
“The only medicine for suffering, crime, and all the other woes of mankind, is wisdom.” [T.H. Huxley]
- How different is ‘wisdom’ from ‘education’?
- Is wisdom connected with technological and scientific progress or compassion and understanding?
- Who can be called a wise man?

Vedic Maths Tricks
Multiplying a number by 11:
To multiply any 2-digit number by 11 we just put the sum of the two digits between the 2 digits.
26 x 11 = 286
Notice that the outer digits in 286 are the 26 being multiplied.
And the middle digit is just 2 and 6 added up.
So 72 x 11 = 792
77 x 11 = 847
This involves a carry figure because 7 + 7 = 14
We get 77 x 11 = 7147 = 847
Similarly, 234 x 11 = 2574
We put the 2 and the 4 at the ends. We add the first pair 2 + 3 = 5 and we add the last pair: 3 + 4 = 7.
A quick way to square numbers that end in 5 using the formula BY ONE MORE THAN THE ONE BEFORE
752 = 5625
752 means 75 x 75.The answer is in two parts: 56 and 25.The last part is always 25. The first part is the first number, 7, multiplied by the number "one more", which is 8:so 7 x 8 = 56
Similarly, 852 = 7225 because 8 x 9 = 72.
Method for dividing by 9:
23 / 9 = 2 remainder 5
The first figure of 23 is 2, and this is the answer.The remainder is just 2 and 3 added up!
43 / 9 = 4 remainder 7
The first figure 4 is the answerand 4 + 3 = 7 is the remainder - could it be easier?
134 / 9 = 14 remainder 8
The answer consists of 1, 4 and 8.
1 is just the first figure of 134.
4 is the total of the first two figures 1+ 3 = 4
and 8 is the total of all three figures 1+ 3 + 4 = 8.
842 / 9 = 812 remainder 14 = 92 remainder 14
Actually a remainder of 9 or more is not usually permitted because we are trying to find how many 9's there are in 842.
Since the remainder, 14 has one more 9 with 5 left over
the final answer will be 93 remainder 5
