Mathematics for Everyone

Mathematics is everywhere. Hence, it  is for everyone. Mathematical concepts, simple to complex,  are explained by great mathematicians and writers of the recent centuries in popular formats. Many of these monographs are enjoyable by even those who do not have any previous knowledge in Mathematics or science. They are addictive! You start reading, you stop reading! This collection is dedicated to all my students who helped me improve my interest in Mathematics. Read and Enjoy!

Fall over Donuts...

At the Arrivals
Anxiously on my lanky legs...
Doors at the gate open in several folds
When no shadows fall, they're shut like lazy lids.
Thrust open my wide eyes seeing
Grilled Hams
'Harmless' Steaks
French Fries and Fried Eggs
Hardly make eleven quids
Hauled my lusty eyes and there I saw this seductive Ad
"Jane Parker Donuts"
"Over 3000000 enjoyed daily"
In no time, they had to change the Ad
"Over 3000001 enjoyed daily"

The Kite Runner

Cutting across the envious winds

Flying high above the clouds

Surging through the sunny rays

Winning is a habit for the kite always.

"O dude, you break records.

Not one among us birds

Can beat you in the heights."

Uttered the bird its thoughts.

"O bro, you’ve golden words

Among your fellow birds.

Need to reach new heights,

If ever the kite runner permits."

"That’s cruel, be free like birds.

My beak’s sharper than swords

Shall I cut the line?"

“At once bro, cut the line.”

In no time, the kite line is cut.

But no line to support,

Into a marshy pit, the kite

Fell quickly, ending the flight.

A teacher is a kite runner.

Once cut away from this trainer,

O student, can you fly high?

No. Hence be patient to fly high.

What type of a teacher am I?

Am I gentle enough to treat my students gently?

Am I guiding my students through the adventurous path of learning,
Because learning is a war between ignorance and wisdom,
Because learning is a tragedy for the ego,
Because true learning is the sorrowful departure of the ignorant self?

Am I helping my students to acquire faith, love and courage
Because life is to be lived successfully like that of conquering continents?
Am I training them to face the flip side of the harsh realities of the world?
Does my training help my students to be optimistic
To see that there are also friends, heroes and dedicated leaders in the world?

Am I helping my students to earn from their sweat?

Am I transferring the wisdom to accept
That failures are honorable,
That losses are graceful and
That tears are glittering
Instead of cheats and undeserving wins?

When they are really sad,
did I make my students laugh?
To scoff at cynics
did I train my students?

Did I ever introduce my students
The wondrous world of books?
To enjoy the mastery of birds and mystery of buds
did I train my students?

When did I last promote the genuine ideas of my students?

To keep away from crowds and listen to themselves
did I instruct my students?

Would I tell my students
to choose right friends?

Heart and soul, two of our invaluable assets,
Are my students cherishing?

How many of my students have
The courage to be impatient
And the bravery to be patient?

Do they have faith in themselves
That leads them to faith in mankind and in God?

Yes, I am ready for this challenge.
