The Dandeli Fever!!!

                                    The Dandeli fever!!!!

Dandeli..... naam toh sunahi nahi hoga!! (definitely not heard the name).. 

Dandeli ,a small town in the Karnataka district is an ordinary town decorated with a beautiful river - KALI river. So just like you I had no clue that this place existed until my school organised a trip to Dandeli as our children's day celebration.

We traveled to Dandeli by bus that was a semi sleeper in which I bet nobody could actually sleep. On our way we sang songs and played truth or dare and so on. We sat in the evening and reached there the next afternoon. In the morning, we had breakfast in one of those stereotypic highway dhaba which filled our hungry tummies. We reached Dandeli and were warmly welcomed by the staff of the  SHIKRA JUNGLE RESORT which was booked entirely for our group. We were divided in group and some were given tree houses, some were given bunk beds and some were given tents and mini cottages. The resort was very beautiful.






  After completing  our sleep, the next day we woke up all energetic and pepped up for the adventures awaiting. We visited the Kali riverside where the different water activities were  to be performed. We first did kayaking which was a completely new experience, I cannot describe the  happiness that i I felt in my gut while rowing those small kayaks. A friend of mine even tripped over and fell into the river but thank goodness we had life jackets.

 After that we did zip lining across the river. Later we had our lunch near the riverside and then went to the waterfalls where we enjoyed and played with water until we couldn't even move. We returned back to our resort and at night a bonfire was organised for us where we sang and danced our hearts out. 

The next day, we went for a trek early in the morning in the jungle. We crossed the flowing water  holding our shoes in our hands, the cold water touching our bare legs felt heavenly. 

Then we set out for Kali riverside to do water zorbing which was great fun. At the end of the zorbing, we jumped into the river and came out drenched.

It was just a two day trip but it gave me memories which I will cherish forever. It made me realize that true  happiness comes from those little experiences which we have and those moments of joy which we spend with our loved ones.

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 ...
