Home away from Home.

Take me away to some place real
'Cause they say home is where your heart is set in stone
Is where you go when you're alone
Is where you go to rest your bones
It's not just where you lay your head
It's not just where you make your bed
As long as we're together, does it matter where we go?
-"Home" by Gabrielle Aplin



Everybody has that one place that they consider as home away from home. For me, that place is Ambur.

Ambur is my native place and it is a well-known fact among my friends and family that I spend every holiday that I get in Ambur. May it be just a 3-day weekend or a 3-month vacation, I stay in Ambur the whole time.

One might wonder what is so special about a small town?

For me, every second I spend in Ambur, I am surrounded by people I love and admire. Every second I spend in Ambur is stored away as a happy memory. Every breakfast, lunch or dinner, every night and every morning, each moment I spend in Ambur plays an important role in what and who I am.

The point is, it doesn't matter if a place doesn't have any popular spots, historical importance or a shopping mall. But what really matters is the presence of Family.

There's another secret reason why I love Ambur. After all, after family, food is my priority, and no place does it better than Ambur. You could never find any biryani that is as good as the traditional "badi dekh ki biryani", which you find mainly in weddings in Ambur.

And for these reasons, if there is one thing I am sure of in life, it is that I would always want to spend my holidays in Ambur, irrespective of how old I am or what I am doing in life.

The glorious Sidhpur

                          THE GLORIOUS SIDHPUR! Definitely, not your kind of place! that is what you must be thinking... but let me tell you that this place is not just a small town in Gujrat, it has a rich history behind it. This place is my native place -SIDHPUR. This place can be called a masterpiece constructed by Indian artisans. Sidhpur, a small almost forgotten town of Gujrat, still has a lot to offer to those who seek for  it. I recently visited Sidhpur in November. It was very cold yet pleasant. We stayed in my ancestral house.These houses are more than 100 years old and still intact. The mind boggling work of art performed by the artists on the walls pillars and every brick of the building sets a caliber hard to reach.  These buildings are not some two storey flats but castles! I lived in one such castle built in the time of my great grandfather. The life of the people in this town is qu...

Indian mathematics

It is without  doubt that mathematics today owes a huge debt to the outstanding contributions made by Indian mathematicians over hundreds of years. "Huge debt" is the beautiful number system invented by the indians on which much of mathematical development has rested. histories of indian mathematicians use to begin b describing the geometry contained in the subha sutras but the research into the history of indian mathematics has shown that the essentials of this geometry were older being contained in the altar constructions describe in the vedic mythology text the Shatopatha Brahmana  and the Terittiriya samhita. The subha sutras were composed by Bandhayana(about 800 BC),Manava(about 750 BC), Apastamba(about 600BC) and Katyayana (about 200BC). There is another scholar, who was Panini who achieved remarkable results in his studies of sanskrit grammar.  now one might resonably ask what sanskrit grammar has to do with mathematics.  It certainly has something ...
