Hello Hello everyone, First a Happy New Year and a Happy Pongal to all of you. And our Best wishes to Athimber (my father-in-law) for a speedy recovery. A New Year called for a new format. So my January Newsletter is in a totally new format, with a new masthead and slogan. Every Newsletter from September 2001 onwards is a website with plenty of links and a lot of effort going in. The main purpose of the whole exercise is to bring the family closer. That can be achieved only if all of us write to each other. That is why I have been exhorting all of you to WRITE. But it appears that my Newsletter is only for a few. I am happy that those few are at least regular in writing. I was also happy when Prasad volunteered to contribute and Mukund joined in later. Let us hope more and more relatives contribute to the preparation of the Newsletter so that it becomes a 'family' magazine. This time, however, only Prasad could contribute. I have taken the liberty of publishing Kausalya's article in The Hindu of 5th Jan. and 'Statement of Purpose' written by Aarthi at the time of her admission. Last week, I was in the lift in our building which has 18 floors. Six of us got in at the groundfloor and the buttons pressed were 4,6,8,10,12 and 14. That set me thinking. If the capacity is 6, what is the probability of all going to a) even/odd numbered floors b) consecutive floors c) same floor. Will some mathematician in the family give me the answers?I tried and failed , having forgotten probability theory. Since the Newsletter has been revamped, the quiz has also been revamped. It is still in Javascript, but in a totally new format. Please attempt it. Parthasarathy |
NOSTALGIA Prasad was always respectful to elders. But he committed a gaffe (unintentionally of course), when, at 4 or 5 he saw a bearded person and asked innocently 'Indha poochandi uncle enna pannraru?' (What is this 'scary' uncle doing?) Click here for important dates of our family members |
