Walking or talking... choose between them....

Walking or talking ....choose the better one....
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I have developed the habit of walking from my childhood....I recollect my walking from house  to Vivekodayam High School,Trichur until   7 th standard, upto 1960 .. later to Seshadripuram High School,St Joseph's College,Bangalore  as a College Student.....later while in service in Bank of India in many places..This was  in addition to my walking with my parents,sistets, brothers,,manni,etc to Malleswaram from Guttahalli etc during childhood regularly ...Since it was a free item perhaps I chose it.After marriage while walking with spouse,it was found she walked very slowly ,I had to turn back often and she was still slow.That is old story.  Now  her speed has retarded. 

Later after marriage in 1974 , in addition to walking talking also found an important place in our agenda , when my spouse who is vociferous and talks much gave me partnership.Incidentally I avoid talking to anyone over telephone but  I hand over the phone to my spouse when there is a call from our son,daughter and others...or her mother.She talks to them for minimum half an hour daily.With that her time available for walking or walk is found insufficient and part of her quota for day's talking filled up .

Now during our visits to USA since 2007 ...we were asked to go for walk daily in places like Salem MA,Marblehead.MA,Nebraska,Hazard KY,Austin. Texas,Fremont or Santa Clara CA....being medical  requirements  advised for us.But during such combined walk it was stipulated as no talking between us lest it would culminate in arguments ,fights etc in public

Now during our recent visit since July 2016  while  in Fremont CA...she is free...in the morning I go for walk and she goes in the evening...She goes in a route covering concentric circles while I go on straight parallel roads and the circumference of her circular path being always less than length of my long walks.

I read somewhere benefits of walking and talking.....I chose walking she grabbed walking and talking....got the double benefit...

May be walking is required and talking also needed to survive as seen from below....

You have heard it before: Moderate physical exercise helps prevent and reduce the severity of chronic disease, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, and also improves mood and mobility. Walking — a form of exercise that is accessible to almost everyone and doesn’t require special equipment or attire (other than comfortable shoes) — counts as moderate physical exercise.

How a talking or talking therapy can help

Sometimes it's easier to talk to a stranger than to relatives or friends. During talking therapy, a trained counsellor or therapist listens to you and helps you find your own answers to problems, without judging you.

The therapist will give you time to talk, cry, shout or just think. It's an opportunity to look at your problems in a different way with someone who will respect you and your opinions.

Usually, you'll talk one-to-one with the therapist. Sometimes talking treatments are held in groups or couples, such as relationship counselling.

Although there are lots of different types of talking therapy, they all have a similar aim: to help you feel better. Some people say that talking therapies don't make their problems go away, but they find it easier to cope with them and feel happier.

Talking To Yourself Is Healthy. Some people jokingly say they talk to themselves because they are the only ones who will listen. Yet it's no joke that talking to yourself is healthy, according to a new study, and it's good for adults as well as children.

Mathematics I desired to learn

This is an e mail sent to a Software Engineer at IBM Bangalore....who authors many items in blogs .
******************************************

Read when free…I treat you as my Computer teacher…….I learn many words like Watson, Swift, Java…etc…I read somewhere in Bangalore more people know Java than  Kannada…Probably I would have sent messages, letters, e mails, etc and comments in your  blogs, or through page viewer of blogs, Face book posts,uploads,and my   contents of blogs    assuming to be read by you over ….50 blogs…being the maximum  correspondence to a single person…..I rarely communicate with others in black and white, email,etc,,,

I couldn’t count the actual number of words…and characters contained in the above communication. However on a rough estimate and not though any actuarial or mathematical formulae, I could arrive at…..  the    arithmetical figure   69000 apparently an unproductive work, but thought might keep on record…..

Face book messages…around 110 pages…each page containing 300 words…                                                                                                   =                                      =33000

E mails…attachments…….   Roughly……..50 X 200                                                     = 10000

Comments in your blogs……….                   20X300                                                        = 6000

My blogs around 50 X400 (average)    probably read by you                                   = 20000
                    (Probably figures incorrect….)                                                                                                    ___________________________________________________
Total   words                                                                                                                       690000       =    (33000+10000=6000+20000)
                                                                                                              ______________________________________________________
I don’t know much to convert it into computer terminology but somewhere found one word is equal to two characters…

So number of characters…….69000X2 equals 138000………….period Oct 2012 to 6th June 2016…..6.6.16…..

Did You Know About 6/6/66, the Day That Forever Changed the Economy of India
Half a century ago, June 6, 1966 - or 6/6/66 - turned out to be a defining day in independent India's economic history. It was the day on which Indira Gandhi devalued the rupee by 36.5%, increasing the dollar's value against it by 57.4%. The move sparked bitter, nationwide criticism.

During College days, In Astronomy Classes I have heard term like light hour .light second ,etc, …and remember it here……

_The light-second is a unit of length useful in astronomy, telecommunications and relativistic physics. It is defined as the distance that light travels in free space in one second, and is equal to exactly 299792458 meters (just over 186282 miles

The number of characters hereinabove is less than the value of a light second…although a wrong comparison of variables…

I had forgotten to mention my following the geometrical figures or Conics section of my Mathematics Professor
……like     circle, ellipse, parabola, hyperbola, etc…..imagining them and applying them in drawing pictures….

Even the Pythagoras theorem based on a right angled triangle inspired me to be right always  .It also made me remember a  pictorial shape of a  square,rectancle, triangle, quadrilateral, hexagon, pentagon, trapezium, equilateral triangle, isosceles   triangle, ,etc,,,,

A conic section is the intersection of a plane and a cone. Ellipse (v) Parabola (v) Hyperbola (v) By changing the angle and location of intersection, we can produce a circle, ellipse, parabola or hyperbola; or in the special case when the plane touches the vertex: a point, line or 2 intersecting Did you know that by taking different slices through a cone you can create a circle, an ellipse, a parabola or a hyperbola?
 

Cones
 

Circle
straight through

Ellipse
slight angle

Parabola
parallel to edge
of cone

Hyperbola
steep angle

Don’t take this seriously…just to divert your attention…read when you are free………Regards
Please excuse spelling mistakes and arithmetical inaccuracies…

Infinity was another idea which occurred to my mind while learning Mathematics….Srnivasa Ramanujam   , Mathematician…. saw infinity in Mathematics….

Infinity has no end
Infinity is the idea of something that has no end.
In our world we don't have anything like it. So we imagine traveling on and on, trying hard to get there, but that is not actually infinity.
So don't think like that (it just hurts your brain!). Just think "endless", or "boundless".
If there is no reason something should stop, then it is infinite.

Infinity does not grow
Infinity is not "getting larger", it is already fully formed.
Sometimes people (including me) say it "goes on and on" which sounds like it is growing somehow. But infinity does not do anything, it just is.
Infinity is not a real number

Infinity is not a real number, it is an idea. An idea of something without an end.
Infinity cannot be measured.
Even these faraway galaxies can't compete with infinity.

Infinity is Simple
Yes! It is actually simpler than things which do have an end. Because when something has an end, we have to define where that end is.
 

**********************************************************
Then comes ZERO……… 0…………

Zero is the only integer which means no objects are present. It is the only real number which is neither positive nor negative.
Any number multiplied by Zero is again Zero..
Of course these numbers Zero, Infinity, etc make us realize the maxima and minima of universal truths and the unfathomable limits extending to infinity in many others...
Finding Maxima and Minima using Derivatives
Where is a function at a high or low point? Calculus can help!
In a smoothly changing function a low point (a minimum) or high point (a maximum) are found where the function flattens out :

Of course learnt a few decades back, in Integral Calculus and Differential Calculus, maxima and minima were applied in problems .

Although principles of Logarithms were learnt and used, the concept of algorithm applied in Computer Science now was not in vogue those days when we were students. We also missed the advantage of cut, copy and paste facility those days as computers had not arrived for use…all our writings being manuscript one could perhaps copy some pages from a book, guide or answer sheet of neighboring student in the exam hall etc and nothing from memory as it used to be empty….or with limited capacity unlike the infinite capacity sizes of microchips of computer circuitry……,

I think   we must pause for a while…. I state the color of font blue is chosen for the one from the Big blue…….( Disambiguation )

Our sojourn at Hazard KY with Parvathi and manni

Our sojourn at Hazard KY....a fortnight preceding to Ram's marriage at Michigan ...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Being on visit to USA since July 2016 it was decided to go to Hazard KY  some days in advance in joining the Narayanan's family and being of some help in the days preceding the marriage on 4 th Sept at Michigan...

My eldest sister  Parvathi was married when I was 6 years old and remember being in our large family at Trichur during her marriage . There were no occasions for us to be within four walls of a house and live as brother and sister .Ofcourse I had occasions to be in Bangalore where she was since 1963 for a few yeras But during my present visit to Hazard ,she was also there.It was pleasant. I could spend a few days with her in Hazard and during the marriage of Ram at Michigan ...

She is very firm ,blunt,frank and very transparent in her views. Being eldest in family whatever opinion she expressed used to be accepted as correct.She was particular in food being a pure  vegetarian would not like any dish containing onion or garlic  It was very meticulous of her to see her wash and clean the utensils used for drinking coffee,etc Being a teetotaler she had an anathema towards use of any word denoting any form of alcohol.No less particular she was about the dress code and didn't much like the garments,costumes,style,etc of modern generation.

She had a good command over English  language,.and other subjects like cricket world history ,Geography, epics,temples,,etc ..Much knowledge she possessed about cinema stars,movies,etc and liked
Kannada,Malayalam,Tamil but not Hindi.She used to call herself an experienced critic in many matters.

Now and then she used to speak high of Bangalore and her children, grandchildren,etc.No doubt she enquired about all others in the family now and then.

She had a smartphone brought from India ...I had opportunity to guide her in charging it regularly,keeping the phone within her reach ,using WhatsApp,Facebook,etc although she was not fully conversant with the computer system etc. In the morning when I get up for coffee I used to see her sitting in front of Apple desktop computer  ,reading news,etc and I just showed her how to contact friends,send message,etc in Facebook....

She used to express her pang of separation from children,grandchildren etc in Bangalore and was desirous of returning to India soon.Ofcourse  having come to USA from India she had not seen many places in USA Initially during her journey to Nashville there was flight delay at New York and had to stay there with her nephew Karthik who had accompanied her from Bangalore and she used to narrate all difficulties she faced at New York etc

While at Hazard she had chance to go to Louisville and watch Tamil movie Kabali with Narayanan and probably didn't relish it and came out of the theatre in the middle.She used to recollect and state her opinion.

We used to spend time discussing politics,seeing movies in TV,she used to watch all Tamil serials...many and enjoy the characters,criticise them etc and spend time

She had occasion to meet Doctors at Hazard...Dr Yalamachi Dr Roy Varghese,Dr Lilli,Dr Kantha abd others and probably visited some of  them at their residences .Also went to ARH Cancer  Center Hazard KY.l Pitza Hut,etc and Hazard Pavilion..

She would avoid going near the dog at home but would be happy to pose for any camera clicks etc. 

Now and then she would criticise the food,surroundings,etc

It was a most memorable time I spent at Hazard in the presence of sister Parvathi and manni.

Children used to be fond of Parvathi athai and Periyamma or manni and enquire about them always.

Ofcourse she used to remember the difficult times she had and the recent demise of her daughter Susi but would feel satisfied and contended having served 26 years in Canara Bank and had brought the children up well educated and settled in life. She used to telephone and inform her children daily with uptodate news at her place

I had privilege of being with her during marriage journey from Hazard and the wedding of Ram and Gunjan at Michigan..which she remembers as one of her memorable occasions.

I realise I would have been more disciplined and well behaved had I lived for a longer period as her brother in the family

Today,She telephoned to me expressing her depression on account of our separation from her

This is written in a hurry so that she may read it and others may know what is the essence of relationship and attachment between a sister and a brother...
