Know your finger prints

Fingerprints and physical appearance in general are part of an individual’s phenotype, which arises from the interaction of the individual’s genes and the developmental environment in the uterus. In the case of fingerprints, the genes determine the general characteristics of the patterns that are used for fingerprint classification. As the skin on the fingertip differentiates, it expresses these general characteristics. However, as a surface tissue, it is also in contact with the amniotic fluid in the uterus. The fingertips are also in contact with other parts of the fetus and the uterus, and their position in relation to uterus and the fetal body changes as the fetus moves on its own and in response to positional changes of the mother. Thus the microenvironment of the growing cells on the fingertip is in flux, and is always slightly different from hand to hand and finger to finger. It is this microenvironment that determines the fine detail of the fingerprint structure. While the diff...

Indian Cuisine and Western Style

Indian meals , rather delicacies when served in western style , specially buffet they can mess up the whole thing. Imagine after board room meeting when the buffet lunch is served how sometime one feels. You may hold a plate over a paper napkin, served on them chapattis with “ dal makani ”. The spoon, fork and knife lay by the side, you have to help yourself with your fingers. The big question comes, what use the spoons, forks and the knife have? You never know. More humiliating when you are served with chicken breast roast or “ tondur ” dishes. I feel so embarrassing when I can`t hold the stuff with my both the hands and help myself ! In such buffet, you have to eat while people are milling around you, there is the tension, that a lump of gravy may jump off your plate and spoil your coat or shirts , god forbid it may spoil others apparel as well. Think , it that personality happens to belong to fairer sex! Our dishes are best suitable to be ate on floor and off course with the freed...

Beautiful Maths !

Mathematics has always been my out of favour. I could never love it for its insipid taste. Any subjects like history, geography , literature or other science subjects had a picturesque approach to me. But arithmetics with all its jumbles posed something hard to digest. Off late, I found some beautiful formulas in simple arithmetical calculations. Repent, in our days they were missing, lest I too could find some interest in the subject. Here I let you have some beautiful formation of mathematical jumbles , hope it will be liked by all and encourage few to proceed further for newer formulas. 1 x 8 + 1 = 9 12 x 8 + 2 = 98 123 x 8 + 3 = 987 1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876 12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765 123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654 1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543 12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432 123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321 1 x 9 + 2 = 11 12 x 9 + 3 = 111 123 x 9 + 4 = 1111 1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111 12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111 123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111 1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111 12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111 123456789 x 9 +10= 11111111...

Do you know how cocktail came into being?

The owner of an American bar had a large ceramic container in the form of a rooster. The container was filled with the leftovers from drinks. The less affluent could get a drink from this container, served from a tap at the tail. Hence, the name cocktail became associated with a mix of drinks. Some say the quality was always high after English sailors had been in, as there was a good mixture of rum, gin and brandy in the cocktail.

A joke

It was just few months after independence, of our country India'; The British were still there; however Indian were quite free to interact with them with the spirit of their freshly earned freedom. In a first class compartment of long distance train, a British and on Sarderji ( a Sikh, by faith, usually they are prominent with their turban) were traveling . The British was as usual in his grave composure, but the Sardarji was enthusiastic. He wanted to open some dialog with the fellow passenger. Thinking for a while, he just asked " what is your name, sir?" The British replied breaking his silence, Robert Bruke. Then he asked the Sardarji, " what is your name?'. The Sardar retorted, Kuldip Singh Dhilon. The surprised British asked, "Kuldip is your name, Dhilon is your surname, then what is Singh?" The Sardar replied " Jistara towda King, ustara sadda Singh !"
