My Minus story…
I always try to use mathematical
symbols in my conversations like plus,minus,nth degree, n times,
infinity,probability,etc…..Of course use of minus and zero more common
realizing that without them the sign plus will have no place…Wherever I have
used zero and minus perhaps it was not so…just in a lighter vein it was
used…..I value plus, minus and zero most…
In this connection an instance comes
to mymind.My mother was from Nurani in Palghat having a number of brothers all
of them were Math Teachers in Nurani.
But she was not allowed to go to school and got married at her child age to my father who was a BA . Myself, two of my brothers
and two of my sisters and one niece Syamala were studying in Seshadripuram High
school at the same time ..1960…63. After progress reports are received I used to come home and tell my good mother I am first in class although it was not so. So
my mother used to believe me..She used to tell all the neighbors etc…Enga
Raghavan ellathilayum first aakkum… So I
made her utter lie…That is the story..Hope you are convinced about my
statements…
This is the reply I sent to my well wisher and Facebook friend... Chitra Ananthanarayanan ...Software Expert of of IBM Bangalore who had written that I was not a zero and my comments in her blog are not of minus value as I had mentioned to her sometime...earlier in a lighter vein......
