The ninth day of Navratri

The ninth day of Navratri is important.  And today is the ninth day. 

It is Saraswati pooja for South Indians. And today we shall be praying for good knowledge.  Only prayers. No involvement in knowledge activities.  No practicing of comics or mathematics or official work.

Also you keep your materials related to knowledge in front of God for prayers. I shall be keeping Andrew Loomis book and Ramanujan book and a office file.

As my mother is old the setup here in Ranchi is simple. Just the pooja shelf. 

This is the Golu setup in Delhi. Made by my wife and my mother in law.

I am staying in Ranchi for Pooja and didn't go to Delhi.

Navratri season begins

It is Navratri season for Hindus all over India. For North Indian hindus Dussehra. For East Indian hindus Durga Pooja. For West Indian hindus Garbha. For South Indian hindus Golu.

Ranchi being in east, Durga Pooja is celebrated. 

Here are two snaps of Durga Pooja pandals being set up inside our SAIL Satellite Colony in Dhurwa, Ranchi. 

Best wishes on the occasion of Navratri. 

Four month target

I have made a target for next four months. Improve the quality of my art to greater heights. Gujaratis (Modiji, Ambani, Adanis) are high quality guys and make high quality products.  They inspire me. Also I am inspired by American quality gurus.

I want to improve the quality of my funny cartoons. 

I have ordered Tintin comic and I am planning to copy Herge drawings. My drawings resemble Herge a little. And I intend to copy the master Herge.  I am devoted to your drawings sir. Allow me to improve action and background of my funny cartoons, sir.

I want to improve my portraits.

I will be mostly dependent on my golden ratio and mathematical ability to improve. My Asaro planes knowledge is okay. Problem is concave and convex planes in face. Hair, shadows and reflected lights need improvement.  

I shall make these possible in four months time.  And I shall get accepted into Gujarat quality group if there are any.

Have a nice day folks.

Ponniyin Selvan 2

Yesterday I watched the Tamil movie 'Ponniyin Selvan 2'. The movie was released in Hindi and Tamil both in the cinema hall of Ranchi. I watched the Tamil version.

I was eagerly following the movie 'Ponniyin Selvan  1' and ' Ponniyin Selvan 2'. I read the book by Kalki Krishnamurthy too. I followed audio books also. I was always attracted by great kings and rulers. While I was in Delhi I had admiration for Mewar rulers and Delhi sultans. And Raja raja chola.  And Akbar. This admiration is deep inside me and I would wonder why they were great. The greatness of Raja raja chola was he sacrificed his becoming crown prince for his paternal uncle Madhuranthakan who was eligible to be the prince after Sundara Chola because of lineage.

The movie was great.  I liked it. In Ponniyin Selvan 2 they show great visuals and great fight sequences.  The music was great. And one piece in background with a lot of rhythms was just outstanding.  I am unable to recollect the situation when the music is played but I remember it being fantastic.  Some group of men shot. In 'Ponniyin Selvan 2', they have shown deep love of three pairs. Vanthiyedevan and Kundavai; Karikalan and Nandini and Ponniyin Selvan and Vanathi. And they also showed two crucial points realistic and historically correct. The death of Karikalan and the crowning of the prince.  I don't want to reveal more.

It's a definite watch for Tamil fans of history lovers. And if you're interested in spending a few hours in your weekend you may consider going to the cinema halls to watch the movie. 

My good wishes.  Have a nice weekend  !!

Brustro Ochre Tanned Drawing Notebook

 

The Brustro Ochre Tanned Drawing Notebook that I ordered from Amazon has been delivered. 

I shall post a portrait drawn with this paper in the near future. 

Till then. Keep smiling and be in good spirits!!

I did this in the evening with Mont Marte skin colored pencils and Luna watercolor pencils. 

Titbits of Scientists

Gauss - Gauss when informed that his wife was dying, told the messenger ask her to wait; I am doing some mathematics right now.

Einstein- He forgot where his quarters were in America and had to go to office to ask for the address of his residence. 

Euler - He was half blind most of his life

Abel - He died in poverty

Atkins - Atkins died because of Atkins diet

Lagrange- Stephen Hawking liked him immensely.  Though I am not sure.

Newton- Stephen Hawking had a distaste for Newton.  Though I am not sure.

God made integers - Stephen Hawking book is so great. And did a god made integers? You bet he did.

On Ramanujan constants

Ramanujan is credited to two constants namely Ramanujan-Soldner constant and Landau-Ramanujan constant.

Both of these are related to the logarithmic functions.

One may open the books and will come to know that logarithmic functions eases calculations like no other. Vedic mathematics are just a crap which ruins career of kids. Trachtenberg system is different because Trachtenberg was spending his time in jail. And he came up with shortcuts to calculations.

Now, coming to the point. Ramanujan to have found constants in logarithmic functions is indeed a great genius. 

I seriously think that no one can think beyond Thomas Bayes and the Bayes conditional probability. Because a human just cannot think beyond his realm. Can he? But our spirituallly owned S R Srinivasa Varadhan, (spiritually owned because he got the Padma Vibushan in 2023) made a theory on probability which seems to me lies beyond distributions. S R Srinivasa Varadhan won the Abel Prize in 2017.

Hope you all are having a fine time. My good wishes !!

My favorite Mathematical expressions

 

The tiger throne

The Tiger Throne is the English language book and a shortened one of Tamil language book Ponniyin Selvan.  It is written by Preetha Rajah Kannan. The images formed by reading the English version are strong and local and good.

Most of the guys in north India have not seen Ponniyin Selvan I. This post is to motivate them to see the movie over OTT. Because Cholas were a big dynasty.  And all of us must see, understand and appreciate the goodness.

The story is of a few days or months. When the comet is there in sky. Indicating death in the family of Sundara Chola, the current emperor. 

Raja raja chola had qualities like Ashoka. Benevolent.  A great warrior.

The benevolence is essentially a Tamil characteristics and should be imbibed, I feel. Arulmozhi realizes he has an elder brother Karikalan.  And Madhuranthakan. He is not greedy for the empire. He is interested in expansion in islands. And he respects his father.

The stone wall writings must have been confusing to Kalki and he wrote the book knitting as best as possible in a fairy tale approach.  The movie was brilliant and knitted more efficiently. Mani Ratnam and the screenplay writers were very good. Everyone editors, camera, costume , art director,  music were great. 

Frankly I did not read the 4th and 5th part. I went past them. This is because the book is of 1950s and we are in 2022.  In olden days we did not have mobile and Facebook.  And what to say of chola period. Only rings, sword, warrior skills, bhakti were the identity of a person.  One should consider this fact while watching the movie. 

I am waiting for part two to be released in April 2023. And the remaining story will be the story Ponniyin Selvan II says.

Have a nice day !!

What inspires me

I feel proud of Arya Samaj.

I feel proud of Servants of people society. 

These are important thoughts of Delhi people. 

Arya Samajis and Servants of people are called Sanghis(RSS) by many politicians. So poor sighted they are. And these can cause fear and force innocent people to choose Christianity or Islam.

I am afraid that is the reason why I use the words Allah and Jesus in my blog posts.

I am secular and feel okay to use Allah and Jesus in my writings.  Many objections arise in air and I wish to clarify my position. 

Have a nice day !!

Theory of Binomials

 

New movies watched

Sharmaji Namkeen

Rishi Kapoor,  Paresh Rawal, Juhi Chawla. Found the movie a little funny. As Rishi Kapoor and Paresh Rawal both play the same person Sharmaji. Rishi Kapoor died after doing half the film.  Paresh Rawal gracefully accepted to complete the movie for the production unit. So two persons as Sharmaji.  The story is of an ordinary Delhi walla getting VRS. How  and what he does with his life is the story all about. It is a comedy movie and Delhi guys will surely empathize with and like.

Bellbottom

Akshay Kumar and others. I did not like the movie much. But for Akshay Kumar.  Story is about hijacking and hijackers and countering them.  High level and international politics and intelligence units story. I liked one song a lot.

Three recent movies

Jalsa 

This movie has Vidya Balan, Shefali Shah, Rohini Hattangady and others. It is good movie and the plot is about a famous journalist who accidentally knocks down a young girl in a car accident. And the young girl happens to be the daughter of the faithful and devoted maid of the journalist.  Interesting isn't it? Amazon Prime

Mrs. Serial Killer

This movie has Manoj Bajpayee.  And he did great acting. Superb. A gynecologist is convicted of serial killing young pregnant girls and is in jail. His wife doesn't believe it. She is advised by the lawyer to kill one pregnant girl. This way her husband won't be suspected because the serial killer is outside and still operating.  What happens next? Watch the movie. Amazon Prime

Raat Akeli Hai

This movie has Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Radhika Apte. It is a murder mystery revolving around landlord, money, politics, goondaism , sex . Nawazuddin solves the case. Netflix. 

Indigenous cosine formula

 

Indigenous cosine formula obtained. 

It has applications like shading in drawing,  improving body language and general good manners and decent behavior. 

Simple. Consider your palm. Raise your forefinger and middle finger. Keep your thumb, ring finger and the small finger folded. Keep your forefinger and middle finger together and joined. Now separate your forefinger and middle finger by a sway.

You have applied the above formula. 

You can use this technique in pencil shading and obtain flawless rendering. 

The centuries old Colin Maclaurin formula made Indigenous. 

Have a nice day !!

Golden Ratio infinite series

Got the infinite series for golden ratio phi. 

Two golden ratio equations

These equations do stress the importance of my theory that has been blogged till now.

Comparison of pi formulas

My formula takes 35 iterations to reach 10 places of pi.

Gauss (Salamin and Brent) takes 3 iterations to reach 10 places of pi.

Ramanujan methods (two of them) takes just 1 iteration to reach 10 places of pi.

You can see for yourself. Ramanujan expression converges rapidly. 

I was unable to test Chudonovsky expression. 

About Lagrange

 

I do feel that arithmetic Geometric Mean which was the brainchild of Lagrange "replaces learning about i"

Perhaps three consecutive numbers and four consecutive numbers too.

Euler was God

I think it is good that I reached body Flux, relativity and an expression linking hour glass and consecutive numbers. 

But Euler had these all. And he was terrific and exceptionally beautiful.  I am talking of root of -1. Or what is now the complex number i.

I am grateful to God and Wolfram alpha for I am able to see.

Fitment is extremely important in mathematics.  And complex numbers fits everything so well. I mean there is a perception of negative. Or antonyms.  Or -1. Or i squared. 

And mathematics talks of i. Not i squared. So beautiful is it not?

I will never be able to get a middle part like in the case of i as Euler did. He said 1,i and i squared.  He did mathematics with i. 

But I claim my mathematics as important.  Maybe not for engineers and technologists but art students commerce students diploma holders language students etc.

I have a hypothesis too. Approximations the way with four consecutive numbers does not exist with three consecutive numbers. My claim is. 

But Euler was Euler.  God. But so is Gauss.  God. And so are others like Abel etc.

Have a nice day !!
