Today's sher

Taqdeer ko dimaag se mod bhi liya tho kya kiya

Yeh kambhakt kismat hi tho dhoor ka hai diya

Azmaa ke tho dekh lete, kisi ko kya farq padtha hai;

Mera shaq sahi hai, inko khuda se darna padtha hai. 

Kurma, Salna and Chettinad

 I was interested to know the difference between Kurma, salna and chettinad vegetables dish.

Chettinad vegetables

Salna vegetables

Kurma vegetables

I think in Chettinad they add ginger paste and garlic paste too. In salna no ginger paste and garlic paste are added. In kurma no ginger paste and garlic paste are added.

Chettinad contains rich flavours of cloves, cinnamon, star anise. Salna contains rich flavours of cloves, cinnamon, star anise. Kurma does not contain costly flavours.

All the three has saunf, coconut and roasted bengal gram.

Am I correct?

Coordination needed in cricket

I was dissatisfied with the team selection yesterday.  In my team Gill was not there and Saha was in. It is too much to play without a wicketkeeper.

Individually Indian players are one of the best. But Australia is a better coordinated team. The coordination between Labuschagne and Head stole the match. And the fearsome Indian fast bowlers and excellent spinners couldn't take wickets. India lost.

IIM Ahmedabad needs to develop exercises to develop coordination when Individual ego might exist. I suggest blindfold exercises, multi-player tic tac toe, dark room selection and all.

Good morning and good wishes to all!!

The most original British mathematician

 If you think the most original British mathematician was Brook Taylor or Colin Maclaurin.  Think again.

The most original British mathematician was John Wallis. 

Taylor series has inspiration from John Wallis hypergeometric functions.  

So Taylor borrowed from Wallis.  Maclaurin from Taylor.  And Newton from Maclaurin. 

My point of Newton borrowing zero concept from Maclaurin is correct because Colin Maclaurin was a child prodigy and Newton was a weak child. However Newton received inspiration when apple fell on his head is correct and he is great in gravity. 

I am of John Wallis. 

It was Newton who made calculus prior to Maclaurin making his Maclaurin series.  So Newton was possibly an inspiration for Maclaurin and not Maclaurin an inspiration for Newton.  As I wrote in earlier paragraphs.
