Best wishes on Army Day

 

Best wishes to all of Indian Army and their families on the occasion of Army Day. The Indian Army works 8760 hours a year, and 8784 hours, every leap year. That works out to 168 hours a week. 

168 hours a week is a bit more than the QR (Qualitative Requirement) set out by L & T. It's a hope that L & T will upgrade its QR, inline with the Indian Army.

How to make life hunky-dory?

Just बाँध लो love की डोरी।

बन जाओ जोड़ा- जोड़ी,

जम के मनाओ बिहु, शंक्राति, लोरी।

Quake happens at the fault lines

 

Quake happens

At the fault lines,

And, no one is faultless,

So you will shiver,

And, you will quake.

You can't cover

Your fault lines,

You can't hide your love,

When it's ten

On the Richter Scale.

Ninety hours week for India in order to become a developed country

There is a debate in India about ninety hours work per week. So, I asked myself what is the goal of a ninety hours week? Is it to make India a developed nation faster than our stated goal of making her developed by 2047? Seems to be a fair goal. So I asked chatgpt about this goal. In other words, I asked chatgpt by which year would India become developed if her citizens put in ninety hours week.

Of course, I didn't ask it directly, but I built up my final question with questions like what is the total hours of work done by Indians currently. I also asked chatgpt about work hours devoted to art and literature.

Here is chatgpt's answer:

Then, I asked myself: after India becomes a developed country, should we slow down? Should the fruits of the labour done by the current generation be enjoyed by future generations?

Your thoughts?

Digipin India

 

What is DIGIPIN?

Per https://www.indiapost.gov.in/VAS/Pages/digipin.aspx

The Department of Posts is advancing an initiative to establish a standardized, geo-coded addressing system in India, ensuring simplified addressing solutions for citizen-centric delivery of public and private services. The Department had collaborated with IIT Hyderabad for developing a National Level Addressing Grid-based addressing system, named as Digital Postal Index Number (DIGIPIN). This system will act as a strong and robust pillar​ of Geospatial Governance, leading to enhancements in public service delivery, faster emergency response and a significant boost to logistics efficiency.

The indiapost webpage says that digipin will eventually replace the extant six figure PIN code system of India Post(for example, the Pincode of GPO Delhi of 110001).

Some things of interest could be the following:

(a) The code doesn't contain numbers/alphanumeric that could be confused with binary or hexadecimal numbers. That is, 0, 1, A, B, C, D, E, F have been omitted in the addressing system.

(b) Resolution of 4m x 4m is the finest grain.

(c) Unlike previous Pincode system, even India's territorial waters have named addresses.

(d) Real time address is given by the system. This means we can find the path we are taking by reverse mapping the addresses accessed with a static digital map.

(e) If addresses are separated vertically, say, we are looking for a particular flat in a multi-storied condominium, we will have to add qualifiers to address that particular flat.

You still have a twinkle

 

Winds have blown away your tracks,

And birds have feasted

On your breadcrumbs too,

But you still have a twinkle though,

That you may yet become a star.

Then, once you become a star,

Sometimes on cloudless nights,

And when nights are lightless too,

Rise above the shade, will you?

That I may find my way to you.

Let's talk a bit about 2024 also, Mathematically

 

I received this 2025 greetings.

#2 isn't accurate.

I think, the year 2024 would also give a run for Mathematical money:

First, 2024 was a leap year, which 2025 isn't.

Second, we have additions and subtractions, formulae, and even multiplications in 2024:

Sum of all cubes from 2 to 9:

2³ + 3³ + 4³ + 5³ + 6³ + 7³ + 8³ + 9³ = 2024

a² – b² formula:

= (a+b) x (a-b)

45² – 1² = 2024

=(45+1) x (45 – 1) = 2024

2024 is the first leap year after 2020.

Also,

 

When the square of 1 is subtracted from the square of sum of all the

single digits we get 2024:

(1 + 2 + 3 + … + 9)² – 1² = 2024

Also,

(20 + 25)² - 1² = 2024

Also, how about this?
