Nature has many mysteries which at times may defy reason; but most of the time, there is logic, conviction and sureness in Nature. One of the mysteries of Nature is in the field of Mathematics. Does Nature know its Mathematics?
If you watch all the heavenly bodies of the Universe, you will observe that they are all round in shape. The sun, the moon, the earth, planets of the solar system are all floating bodies, round in shape, in a vast round expanse, in a round black hole called the Universe. Why is it so? Yes, because roundness represents life and flatness represents death! A baby is born in a round sack inside the stomach of its mother. The most important of the baby is its head, which is mysteriously round, the fingers and toes of the baby are round and there is a round neck fixed on top of the torso of the body.
Then, have you observed the games people play? A cricket ball, a basket ball, a football, a tennis ball, a carrom striker, colored balls on a billiards table………all these objects are round in shape. Why? Because, Mathematics is involved in each of these objects. How?
Have you observed the shape of veggies & fruits?..............apples, oranges, watermelons, brinjals, potatoes, onions, cabbage, lotus stems………the list is endless. All these commodities are round, because there is life in roundness. The diameter and the circumference of any round object is working on the principle of Mathematics. The circumfderence of any round object is a little more than 3 times its diameter. This unique fact was discovered by a brilliant mathematician, Archimedes around 200 B.C. Archimedes was born in the Greek city state of Sicily in the year 287 B.C. to 212/211.In fact,Archimedes died while working on some formula of a circle.It was war time in Sicily,the rampaging enemy soldiers had invaded the city.Archimedes was sitting on the ground with a compass in his hand and a circle was drawnwith a chalk on the ground.As the soldiers surrounded him,he uttered...."TAKE MY HEAD BUT NOT MY CIRCLE" The soldiers assumed him to be an enemy and they killed him on the spot.If Archimedes was alive to-day,we would have known more of his innovative mathematics. The calculation of the above problem gave rise to a Greek letter (π), which was first used by a Welsh Mathematician, William Jones. But, now a little known mathematician, a caferati member has come up with a new theory that this letter (π) is available in the circle itself, which looks more authentic than the Greek symbol (π). More info is available on the blog of Google knoll.
Next, go to a calm pond in your locality; pick up a small stone and drop it into the pond. What do you see? Watch the spreading rings appear in the pond. If you measure its diameter and its circumference, you will see that pi (π) is very much involved. So, you cannot make any round object without the fixed formula of π working on it. Then, there is a disc drive in to-day’s computers, an apparatus that turns the disc on a computer, while data are recorded or retrieved. All these round objects are working in tune with mathematics and π is very much present in each of these objects.
Observe a nucleus of an egg, a seed, head of a sperm; all are round, creative and life giving, where mathematics is involved in all these miracle objects. Hence without roundness, you can never proceed in life; there will be death and destruction without roundness.
And, what about money? Real money is not paper currency, but the sound of tinkle created by round coins falling on the ground………maybe a dollar, a dime, a ruble, a rupee, an eight Anna coin, or a five rupee coin. So, here again, mathematics is involved in making these coins!
Now, hear this unusual logic. Even flatness is created from roundness and not vice versa. You can easily draw a square or a rectangle in a circle; but you cannot draw a circle in a square or a rectangle touching the entire circumference of the circle; its impossible. Even a triangle(meaning flatness) can be drawn in a circle (meaning roundness) taking its diameter as its base and taking half its diameter as its radius. But, can you draw a circle in a triangle? You can, but it won’t touch its entire circumference. Think of a page, a book, ruler, rubber(eraser); a page or a book contains paper, where round trees are involved, a rubber is from round plantation trees grown in Malaysia. What about Xerox printing machines, where the roller is round in shape.
In making a round object, try making a circumference 4 times its diameter; can you make it? ……….. No way. The diameter and the circumference will only match the formula pi (π) as ordained by Nature.
Lastly, you must have seen a dead body of any human, animal, bird, insect or maybe a plant; these turn flat after life is sucked out from within, proving that flatness is death.
So, there you are; Mathematics is all the time working in Nature!

A Poem on told "Not To"
Why did my naughty son
tie a string of fire-crackers
on a dog's tail
When he was told "Not To"
tie a string of fire-crackers
on a dog's tail?
Why did they
let loose the bull
in a china shop
When they were told "Not To"
let loose a bull
in a china shop?
Why did the Hare
run too fast in a race
with a tortoise
When he was told "Not To"
run too fast in a race
with a tortoise?
Why did Laurel slap Hardy
three times in a shot
When he was told by the
Director,"Not To" slap Hardy
three times but only two times?
Why did the children
play with plastic bags
covering their faces
When they were told "Not To"
play with plastic bags
covering their faces?
Why did people
fiddle with man-hole
covers during the rains
When they were told "Not To"
fiddle with man-hole covers
during the rains?
Why do you
stand & stare aimlessly
at the raw nakedness
When you are told "Not To"
stand & stare aimlessly
at the raw nakedness?

A Poem on "Silence"
Silence is not for you
When you are disturbed
In your mind.
Silence is not for you
When you are
angry,stubborn and unkind.
Silence is not for you
When there are pangs of hunger
In your stomach.
Silence is not for you
When your heart is
blank and devoid of love.
Silence speaks louder
When the buzz of the breeze
squeezes through the half-closed
window of my room.
Silence resides in a
man,hearing the loudest
music in a concert.
Silence decides the
fate of a man
going to the gallows.
Silence solves mysterious chemistry
Between man & woman in love
wired through their thoughts.
Indeed, Silence is benediction
All pervading in the Universe,
Oh Man! Sit,calm down,relax,
Make SILENCE your best friend!

A POEM ON "RAIN"(INSPIRED FROM FILMS LAGAN & GUIDE)
I sit on the vast field in summer,
AND see people huddled to-gather and murmur,
Once this fertile land,now scorched and crusty,
Waiting for rains to make it cool and misty.
To quench up their thirsts,
Feed those hungry stomachs,
Again allow farmers to plogh their fields,
And fill up cracks developed due to heat and then shield.
A noble sould sits in a cave,
Fasting unto death for a village to save,
Praying for the rains,
Noble dies, but his soul survives.
Rain falls in a trickle,
Tiny droplets of water on faces dribble,
Gathering momemtum by the distant tornado,
Building into a mammoth crescendo.
Villagers,rejoicing,dancing,celebrating,
Their faces brimming with happiness, smiles,
Henceforth, the village is transfomed,
Into a Heaven, not seen by man!

A SHORT POEM ON LOVE.
As I sit on the edge of Nariman Point
A cool wind engulfs me at the point
With the setting sun casting its golden rays
The Chaiwallas and Channawalas hawking their eats,
With the people roaming carefree enjoying the point
Now, the day has ended
And the night has fallen
And the birds have spread their feathers,
Some have found pebbles and stones
Others have found pearls and rubbies
But of what use are pearls and rubbies
When a people know not the real value,
Real value is to be found in the heart,
Where love resides mysteriously,
Oh Man! Wake up and unlock that mystery
And find the most precious gift of Nature
Because,love is a many splendoured thing
Blessed is the man who has experienced it
Pity the man who has lost it
And curse the man who has denounced it.

HOW IMPORTANT IS MONEY TO YOU?
Money is very important in to-day's world,but only to the extent of giving physical comfort.And,what about mental comfort?That depends on your attitude.What attitude?It means how you look at money.If you are looking at money to buy your real mental or inner happiness, then the answer is a plain 'NO'Money can never give you 'real' happiness consistentely.
A friend,once asked me....."Manohar why don't you have money?"I counter questioned my friend...."Why did'nt Jesus had money?"My friend could not answer that.However, he had money in another form.He had spiritualism,he had wisdom,he had goodness,which more than made up money.He was supremely contented and blissful.Mind you friends, I am not using the word 'Happiness' here,because "Happiness' is a misnomer;real happiness is bliss,contentment and joy.Tell me,whether any rich man is completely happy,contented,blissful or joyous to-day as was Jesus Christ.And, do you know what's the reason for this unhappiness?.............THE LAW OF CAUSE & EFFECT.What's that?
Nothing happens without a cause.If you do wrong, its bound to come back to you as a negative reaction and you will pay for it.If you do good, then it is bound to rebound positively and you will get paid for it in abundant goodness.But what happens now?A rich man, on his way to accumulate wealth does something not in tune with this law,and he gets paid for it for his wrong doings.That is why he is not always happy or contented.So the ideal combination for a man is to have lots of money and at the same time to be spiritualistic.But being spiritual is more important than to have money.
Once a farmer asked Jesus........."Why there is not enough harvest?"And Jesus answered......"The land is plenty,but the tillers are few."
So money and spiritualism are both needed.But, if a man has no money,then at least he should have spiritualism for him to remain happy and contented.So, the importance of money is always there;but one cannot overlook the importance of spiritualism!
So, what is spiritualsim?There are only two kinds of people in the world.....The business class & working or service class, there is no third type of people.The business class are almost always rich class and the service class are almost always poor class.Both of these types live in a world of their own.
But the service class are more god-fearing than the business class.For the business class, MONEY is their GOD; for the service class,FAITH or BELIEF is their GOD.Both believe that their 'GOD' is bigger than each other.But the service folks are at an advantage here.For them their 'GOD' is their conscience and hence spiritualism is born faster in these people than the other so called business class.Only one in a million persons of a rich or business class can be termed as spiritualist!
Guatama Buddha was one of the rare spiritual soul,who was born into a rich family of kings.Yet, he knew the full meaning of spiritualism.He knew the distinction between poverty & richness,between fear & courage,between freedon & responsibility,right & wrong,heart & head.
So, friends,spiritualism has a very wide meaning.Its all about calmness,softness,honesty,integrity,righteousness,joy,happines,wholeness,oneness.Evenif, one of the top written virtues are missing in a person,he can never be called a spiritualist.
Hence the secret to spiritualism lies in being almost always poor in money, but rich in the above declared virtues!

WHEN DO YOU CALL A PERSON USELESS OR WORTHLESS
Hello my friends,.
First you have to observe Nature in all its glory.Watch the trees.At first, there is a seed,then there are roots,them the stem, trunk and body of the tree taking shape.The tree grows taller and taller with the help of water and sunlight.Suppose there was no water or sunlight,then what will happen?Yes, the tree will stop its growth and it will wither and die.So, each part is working in close co-operation to make the tree grow.After the growth of the tree,branches are born and from there the leaves sprout and finally, the fruit is grown among its leaves.
Next, watch the wind blowing in the atmosphere.Feel the wind blowing on your cheeks and experience its coolness,dryness,humidity.See the wind at work!Observe the wind swaying the branches,leaves,fruits of the trees.See,how some of the fruit falls off the trees deliberately on the ground so that other living entities can share the bounty of Nature!Have you seen that Nature does not crib here,but gives abundantly.
See another marvel of wind at play!Watch a tiger stalking its prey, maybe a deer in the vicinity.Mind you, he has not sen the deer,but its the wind carrying the smell of the deer that is atracting the tiger and the reverse is also true.The deer gets wind of the tiger nearby makes a quick exit!
Observe how breadth or wind is needed to play a musical instrument like a flute,trumpet....."Blow your own trumpet"
Go to the wind farm or wind park and watch a group of windmills or wind turbines at work.Its the wind which helps these turbines to revolve the fans and thus generate electricity.Finally, in Mother Nature, an intricate system is in continuous motion.One job leads to another,another job still leads to another,still another leads to...........it goes on and on.Imagine, if any one of the jobbers were to stop its activity and sit quiet.What will it happen?Yes, the Universe will come to a standstill and its death will be imminent.
This same principle applies to our human race also.If any person sits lazily in one corner doing nothing, the other activities of the human race will be affected.Nothing will move and nothing will be produced.He will be ultimately termed as a useless and worthless person.
