How Many more..???

86 in one go.

A team of a Para Military Force was coming back from a long and tiring operation. They were not aware, that the operation was far from getting over. Those unattended troops were caught unaware of the situation, only to be aware of being Martyr.

Yes, they are troops who have not been attended to, in both the time horizons, that is past and present time. And unfortunately they were caught napping in certain basics of security aspects.

Both these statements are 'interrelated'. Atleast now somebody should realise the need for 'taking care' and giving them their due. This does not mean increasing pay and allowances. It means giving their due respect, training, basic fighting and surviving requirements. Then 'take them to the task'. You will see the result. Army is magnanimous in committing to train the PMF. Why shouldnt one be ready to accept that 'i am not good enough, but i am not inferior. So i need some more training to improve myself'. People has to overcome their Egoistic shortcomings to fulfill their real life deficiencies. This is in house problem which can be done away with anytime. How about the responsible outsiders ?

'Something serious has gone wrong!'

'This incident has given strength to our will of fighting them!'

Are these the expected comments from the High Office bearers..???

Aren’t they supposed to use proper words..?? Don’t they have the suitable Officer’s support to provide them properly worded statements to make? One of the above statements was made by a Secretary itself. Where are we heading ..???

In one way the statement by HM ‘The buck stops in my desk’, is atleast confronting to some extent. Aren’t they a just Reserve Force for the Central Govt..??? If so why are they employed in such hard core fighting and if they are not then why are they treated like on…??

Why all these serious mistakes take place..?? Lack of Will. Lack of Will on the Govt's part...!!! Decide for sure, what one has to do, and pl stick on to it.

One particular state announces Rs. 5 lakhs for a martyr family….!! Hufff God, please make the people realize the cost of life, that is laid down fighting for others….!!! What is the Govt conveying to the public…??? Is it that ‘Thambi, you are making a mistake by going to serve the nation. Stop it, don’t do it. Please study computers and fly off to US and keep spoiling the Indian Economy..??’ This is the Govt that pays an one time grant of Rs. 5000 for being decorated by ‘Sena Medal’ of the Army, for which the individual leads without any hesitation regarding loosing own life and taking few weed's life from killing hundreds of people…!!

They are the people giving their today for other's today and tomorrow.

Please learn to respect the souls.

Internal Summation

First, What is Internal Summation?

Internal Summation is the single digit summation of all the digits of a number. For example take this number, 9797796032. The internal summation of this number is

9+7+9+7+7+9+6+0+3+2 = 59;

5+9 = 14;

1+4 = 5;

So, the Internal Summation of 9797796032 is 5.

Application:

This Internal Summation is used almost everywhere, right ‘calculating’ whom You should marry (Horoscope) to confirming the origin of Your mobile (Digital Computation of Mobile).

Any Easier Way?

Well if you are calculating Internal Summation of a small number, as cited above, it is easy to do directly. But, what if you are in between some complex calculations all involving higher end single digits? There is a simple way, I think I have formulated. Not sure if it is not already followed, as at least I don’t know.

Here it is.

Calculate IS of 99999999999999999994.

Answer: 4.

How: Remove all the ‘9’ first and remove 9 from the sum of all the digits left.

Given Number: 99999999999999999994.

Remove all ‘9’.

Start removing ‘9’ from the sum of rest digits.

The single digit finally got is the IS of the number, that is 4.

KALKI’S SOLAMALAI ILLAVARSI

It is unfortunate of me to have never gone beyond ‘Ponniyin Selvan’, ‘Sivagamiyin Sabatham’, ‘Alai Osai’, ‘Paarthiban Kanavu’ and few other short stories, as in reading the works of Kalki. Recently I happened to read few more of his writings and no need to say about them, they are absolutely typical Kalki’s works. In those, the ‘Solamalai Ilavarsi’ is what I am about to say.

For those who have read the ‘PS’, ‘SS’, ‘AO’, of Kalki, there may have been this thought lingering in the mind : There is a some gap between ‘PS’, ‘SS’ on one side and ‘AO’ on the other. Every Writer’s human mind evolves and travels over the time line. The works put on paper may not be following the chronological order, but the overall picture gives that evolution. There is this time gap between ‘PS’, ‘SS’ and ‘AO’, the gap of jumping from ‘Periodic Time’ to ‘Social/Present Time’. The ‘Solamalai Ilavarsi’ is that Time Evolver. Read it and you will realize that the transition from old times to the Freedom Struggle/Early Post-Independence days for this ‘Amarar’ is through this Novel.

First, the Work. Kumaralingam is on a rampage by protesting and revolutionizing around the villages against the East India Company Rule in India. He lives only with his new-found freedom thirstiness. Running away from Police after a protest-turned- violence, he finds a safe house in a ruined castle. He imagines/lives thro the incidences that happened there a century ago. The End…?? Pl read.

Now, my views. The first chapter gives the hint of the people’s mind during the 1940s. The book easily shuttles between the old age and the present days (1940s). the shuttling way is, absolutely good. Those who seen the movie Rang De Basanti (Hindi movie starring Aamir Khan), will understand the term ‘intertwining characters’. Kalki has done that so very well, makes You think Kalki has copied the idea from the movie and refined it.

The work closely examines about evolution of the British in India. It describes in milder words about their Visiting, Settling, Exploiting and Ruling of the Sub Continent. There is no mention of the Present Day differences, which is really encouraging to recommend the book. As of the saying ‘you should earn it, to know it’, this book is a treat to read knowing the various time events in details. (Sometimes back one of my friend critiqued the works of Kalki as ‘only for the elite/learned groups of the society.)

The flow, sincerity in words and the narration of the incidences and environment (especially the present day- 1940s scenario) giving a view of the various people’s thoughts, regarding the Company rule in an unbiased terms, never-able-to-lift-eyes-off descriptions and the ending (although bit dramatic if one views with 2010 time frame), everything is Typical of Kalki and I may say nothing to justify if You know him. Kalki is one of the few writers, who is able to satisfy most of the study groups (none of the constituents at improper proportions). Solamalai Ilavarsi too does that. It is the missing link between the Time frames as mentioned earlier, evolving from the Periods to Present Day.
