Fatherboard or Kitchen Blackboard ????????

I have heard about mother board...in computer...a sheet of plastic that holds all the circuitry to connect various parts of a computer system.It makes all other components function together 
.

When I was in USA...Marblehead MA a year back my son in law presented me a black board found unused  in his   IBM  office He told.  .."" appa it will be useful to  you for use in kitchen to note down what to do...etc""...See what it does.... I   write down regulalry  on the board, use it so that the mother in the house works well, I also erase old matter periodically.

The board is linked or connected to mother through free wireless mode.....

A new word   discovered.......FATHER BOARD...

   .A picture of motherboard is also shown for comparison....Motherboard is extremely complicated whereas Fatherboard is simple...

     Fatherboard is given below and a specimen of mother board also  for comparison.etc...

It is written as Poorvi's Board   as it was hung in kitchen at Marblehead when Poorvi was a kid.I used to mark timings for giving milk to her...bottle and later idli etc at specified intervals and also for changing Diapers as Chitra used to go for work by 9 AM.and Sreekanth used to be busy with meeting call,etc in Office at home...Also we used to note down items to be purchased daily like Milk ,Banana,Vegetables, Provision,etc when we go for shopping in Indian Stores,Walmart,etc. It was a useful board there ..

At the age of 32 .... he fell a victim.....our elder brother Balasubramanian.....

I have written in the blog  about  pneomococi Meningitis  at the age of 32    affecting me and my survival etc after medical care,later medications,etc..

..

With extreme sorrow and grief I state the story of my elder brother who fell a  victim to paratyphoid  fever leading to Meningitis..in 1960 at Bombay....

He was just 32,working in   Director of Food and Civil Supplies Department ,Bombay in 1960 and prior to that he was under Training in Customs and Central Excise Department, Ratnagiri where he was unable to continue since the Department retrenched surplus employees. .He got    married in 1958.....at Cannanore,Kerala  to C.R.Kalyani, whose father C.R.Ramanathan was a Resident Electric Engineer,Kerala Electricity Board  .In May 1960,.having fixed a rented house at Kalina ,Chembur ,Bombay for his wife and son seven months old to join ,he was eagerly waiting to see his wife and child whom he had seen for 3days after delivery......A couple of days before,we got the  news he was laid up with paratyphoid  fever..

Later it  was known typhoid, pneumonia and tuberculosis can lead to meningitis....may be  others too....leading to such a  disease affecting brain and spinal cord...It is surprising although he had typhoid earlier it occured again as  paratyphoid...possibly infection through water, milk,etc,,we donot know....

.   

.

On 7 th morning June,1960...we got the telegram  from Bombay , when we were at Trichur   .  Our chinnamanni who was with the child at Trichur, .getting ready to leave for Bombay within 2 days ....she opened  and  read  the  telegram...Kuttan passed away...7 AM today...

Sorry........ later  we heard he was  admitted  in some hospital  after his being  in bed at Periyappa"s house at Ghatkopar Rajewadi Estate  where he had gone feeling uneasy and with fever a couple of days ago.....,etc but perhaps nearest relatives  and proper Doctors  were  not with him to give proper medical care for the dreadful disease.  May be had his wife and son reached him earlier, he would have survived ..A lumbar puncture and antibiotic injections would have saved him  ...The family  was left in sorrow for years..he was second child to my parents among 13..fondly remembered by all...

I was 13 years then  and all my younger brother sisters and elders were all children studying in school who shifted to Bangalore in 1960 where our eldest  brother was working  as appa and amma were shocked and unable to live in Trichur with the shadow of son"s death at early age...Ofcourse our family grew up expanded in Bangalore  etc  and that is the  later part of history .

During his visit previous year to  Trichur I remember  my Anna telling our periya manni.....one person  in our family should study medicine and become a Doctor.... Ofcourse his wish  or desire was achieved. .. He  was a Commerce Graduate and his son is  a well placed  Chartered Accountant practising in Palakkad.I may mention his wife Chinna Manni aged 20 at the time of his death, studied B Ed , BSC , etc and  worked as a teacher till retirement in Palghat...

Time heals our sorrow  and we still remember him......

This is the sad story....

A large family...bound together by love and affection among all.. .parents went through many good days and bad days,they brought up the children.... yet they never expressed  about sorrow  or grief....  but     made us grow.. gave us education, got us married to respectable and homeloving women,....saw all daughters married .....who too encountered  problems bravely... We grow further....

Taxicab Number 1729...Ramanujam number 1729...unlucky number for Shobana...1729......

   30th Jan 2012.......
It is one month since our Shobana left all of us...

SHE WAS BORN ON 17TH DEC   1952 AND PASSED AWAY ON 29TH DEC....2011......MAKING HER NUMBER 1729....

She was the last child in our family whom we lost ...

AS HARDY WAS NOTICING THE TAXICAB NO 1729 A DULL NUMBER AND A BAD OMEN...

IN SHOBANA"S CASE THE NUMBER 1729 WAS RATHER AN UNFORTUNATE NUMBER....

PLEASE READ ABOUT HARDY RAMANUJAM NUMBER 1729 BELOW....

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The following is a famous story told by G.H. Hardy about S. Ramanujan, repeated word for word in various sources:

Once, in a taxi from London, Hardy noticed its number, 1729. He must have thought about it a little because he entered the room where Ramanujan lay in bed and, with scarcely a hello, blurted out his disappointment with it. It was, he declared, "rather a dull number," adding that he hoped that wasn't a bad omen. "No, Hardy," said Ramanujan, "it is a very interesting number. It is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways."

To be accurate, Ramanujan should have said "the sum of two positive cubes in two different ways." 1729 has since become known as the Hardy-Ramanujan Number, even though this feature of 1729 was known more than 300 years before Ramanujan. And numbers of its type (the smallest numbers expressible as the sum of 2 cubes in n ways) are sometimes called Taxicab Numbers. 1729=13+123=93+103.

How did Ramanujan know this? Well, he loved numbers. All through his life, he experimented with numbers. As a child, he probably found prime numbers into the many thousands, trying to find a pattern that other people had missed. 1729 is not a prime, by the way. Such a person also examines Pythagorean triples, like 3,4,5 which are of the form 32+42=52. He would search for patterns in these numbers, too. Perhaps he found an equation to generate all possible Pythagorean triples, as such equations exist. Not all numbers can be expressed as the sum of two squares. He probably found numbers that were expressible as the sum of two squares in two or more different ways. It is natural that he examined the sums of cubes (and higher powers) in the same way. He would notice that 1729 came up twice on this list, and he would remember it all his life.

By the way, equations such as c=a3+b3 are called Diophantine Equations, named after Diophantus (sometime in the period 200 BC - 400 AD, probably about 250 AD), when they involve only integers.

We have seen your smiling face in the Face book profile and have downloaded the image to the hard disc of our mind.....and recollect you in our midst smiling...I mention our hard disc in memory as we realize it hard to live without you...although the irony of fate decided...and destined......you being the youngest in a large family of Parameswara Iyer is irretrievably lost by all of us...We all pray for peace of your departed soul in the kingdom of Heaven....Unknown we all met known you departed....leaving and indelible mark for posterity to remember...

As known from history Ramanujam was sick and did not take proper food,medicines, etc while in London ...leading to deterioration of health culminating in his death at the age of 32....(1887_1920)....It is heard improper food as per his orthodox Brahmin stipulations and some unknown sickness not diagnosed caused his ilhealth.Had he been saved through proper diagnosis and treatment through medical science  he  would have  lived longer ,gone much deep into the subject of Mathematics and solved many problems in Mathematics ,etc.It is heard as  said by his wife,  while he was about to die he was just a little skin and bone.

.Shobana too despite health problems from young age ,fought against all odds including loss of husband ,lonely living,,etc etc...lived upto 60....always smiling and enjoying mine or Narayanan's jokes,etc.Despite disability she had come for marriage of Rajesh in 2007 and that of  Chitra in 2010..at Chennai..We visited her in Bangalore. Me,Brindha, ...including Sreekanth and Chitra at her residence in Ramamurthinagar ...and spent happy days  with her never to come back She was particular in providing good food to us...despite so many restrictions for her....  Despite her sickness,she used to listen to our problems like a Physician and advise all cares,medicines. ,etcThat is the end....
