“There is enormous power in small things” Enjoy the poem ‘Shakthi’.
Shakthi
Learning
“Everyday things are my teacherTo be curious is my feature” Dedicated my late father Thiruvengadam, an amazing teacher who taught me ‘inquiry’. When I sought an answer from him, he responded with a question, forcing me to inquire and find the answer myself. Painful it was then, but wonderful it is now. I inherited this trait and use it liberally, sometimes to the chagrin of students/colleagues. Certainly the Gods are wiser with you there Appa.
Math love
“He is in love with math and sees her in every path”. Dedicated to Sathya Murthy & Aranha (late) my wonderful teachers of math at St Germain’s High School, a subject that became my love. Happy teachers day Sir and Ma’am in heaven.
happn & Tinder
The sponsored ad videos of ‘happn’ on FB sparked my muse! She found him on happn Handsome and clean shaven She sent a request for date For tomorrow night at eight Her heart now, hot cinder Little did she know That he was committed To someone on Tinder
Handsome trigonometry
She leaned forward and whispered: “Come on, lie down on me, let us commit the sin He said “Wait a sec, I see the one with the tan is interested too” They extended the cot and cosec-d (cosied) up, a love triangle All ‘cos of Handsome Trigonometry Note: Imagination ran riot when sin, cos, tan, cot, cosec came together, a trigonometry it was! (sin = opposite/hypotenuse | sec = hypotenuse/adjacent | tan=sin/cos & cosec is…
Herculean
“What if humanised digital bots married?” He was AND-OR She was IF-THEN Their parents logical thought it would be Boolean But their marriage turned out to be Herculean She put too many conditions He quietly defaulted She caught his exceptions And sent him to the log To exit, he had to slog And give up the morning jog
Daemon
Imagining how de-monetisation would affect the stuff inside the computer. Enjoy. CPU ran out of cache It thrashed the disk and SD card came to rescue All because of the ‘daemon’ Note: Daemon is a background program, cache is hi-speed memory.
Exponent
A creative take on what marriages in mathematics result in! When Exponent was single, he was very powerful He married Logarithm and his powers came down (Remember [c=a ^b , log(c) = b*log(a)])
Love in physics
Who said physics was left brained? See what happens when we apply the emotion of love to physics. #1: “Mass love” Mass got attracted to Gravity and gave birth to Weight #2: “Electric love” His high voltage charm she resisted, succumbing later, when she felt his current flow through her.
On Geometry
#1: “Perfect pair” She was acute and he was obtuse. They made a perfect pair and formed a straight line. #2: “Hypotenuse” It takes a hypotenuse to make him stand erect.
