THIS JULY!

BYE BYE THIS WEEK

It's posthumous fame for the humble chavanni. The 25 paise coin may not have 

been worth much in the market till last week, but since it was laid to rest by the govt, it has become an overnight hero.On Thursday, the coin, which came into being in 1950, was declared 'dead' by the Reserve Bank of India. The RBI issued a statement saying the coin will now "cease to be legal tender" in light of inflation. Since then, nostalgic stories and jokes about the coin have become a hot topic on social networking sites.

UNUSUAL THIS WEEK

This July will be a little different.  In fact, it is going to be a July that comes once in 823 years and bring cheer to those who look forward to weekends. July 2011 will have five Fridays, five Saturdays and five Sundays and numerologists and astrologers say such a July is rare,  as rare as once in 823 years. But, despite being rare, it may not have too much of a numerological significance for people, says numerologist Sanjay Jumani. He said, "It will just be fun to have more weekends as the month will have five Saturdays, five Sundays and five Fridays."

Death Cannot Be Closer Than This!

ATTITUDE THAT ONE NEEDS TO DEVELOP:

1. When Snake is alive, Snake eats Ants. When Snake is dead, Ants eat Snake. Time can turn at any time. Don't neglect anyone in your life......... 2. Never make the same mistake twice, There are so many new ones, Try a different one each day.   3. A good way to change someone's attitude is to change your own. Because, the same sun that melts butter, also hardens clay! Life is as we think, so think beautifully. 4. Life is just like a sea, we are moving without an end. Nothing stays with us, what remains is just the memories of some people who touched us as Waves.   5. Whenever you want to know how rich you are? Never count your currency, just try to Drop a Tear and count how many hands reach out to WIPE that- that is true richness.   6. Heart tells the eyes see less, because you see and I suffer lot. Eyes replied, feel less because you feel and I cry a lot.   7. Never change your originality for the sake of others, because no one can play your role better than you. So be yourself, because whatever you are, YOU are the best.   8. Baby mosquito came back after 1st time flying. His dad asked him "How do you feel?" He replied "It was wonderful, Everyone was clapping for me!"  Now that’s a Positive Attitude.

Hat seller and the Monkey ~ An old story with new ending!!!

It's an old story that we read in Class 3 but with a new ending.

A hat-seller who was passing by a forest decided to take a nap under one of the trees, so he left his whole basket of hats by the side. A few hours later, he woke up and realized that all his hats were gone. He looked up and to his surprise, the tree was full of monkeys and they had taken all his hats.

The hat seller sits down and thinks of how he can get the hats down. While thinking he started to scratch his head. The next moment, the monkeys were doing the same. Next, he took down his own hat, the monkeys did exactly the same. An idea came to his mind*
He took his hat and threw it on the floor and the monkeys did that too. So he finally managed to get all his hats back.

Fifty years later, his grandson, Sukhwinder, also became a hat-seller and had heard this monkey story from his grandfather.
One day, just like his grandfather, he passed by the same forest. It was very hot, and he took a nap under the same tree and left the hats on the floor.

He woke up and realized that all his hats were taken by the monkeys on the tree.

He remembered his grandfather' s words, started scratching his head and the monkeys followed.
He took down his hat and fanned himself and again the monkeys followed.
Now, very convinced of his grandfather' s idea, Sukhwinder threw his hat on the floor but to his surprise, the monkeys still held on to all the hats.

Then one monkey climbed down the tree, grabbed the hat on the floor, gave him a slap and guess what did he say?

"Do you think only you have a grandfather?"

Unique Number ~ 142857

It's just a number, right? But did you know that when it is multiplied and manipulated, it displays some really amazing properties? For example:
142,857 x 1 = 142,857
142,857 x 2 = 285,714
142,857 x 3 = 428,571
142,857 x 4 = 571,428
142,857 x 5 = 714,285
142,857 x 6 = 857,142


Did you notice anything?
It's always the same numbers moving along as if on a ribbon... simply amazing, huh?

And how about
142,857 x 7 = 999,999
And if we add 142 + 857= 999
And if we add 14 + 28 + 57= 99

Or
142,857 x 142,857 = 20,408,122,449
Then
20,408 + 122,449 = 142,857

And how about
142,857 x 8 = 1,142,856
Remove the first digit (1) and add it to the last digit (6) and we get 142,857

And how about
142,857 x 9 = 1,285,713
Remove the last digit (3) and add it to the first digit (1) and then move the second to last digit (1) to the front and we get 142,857

And how about
142,857 x 11 = 1,571,427
Remove the first digit (1) and add it to the last digit (7) and then move the second and third digit (5,7) to the end and we get 142,857

And how about
142,857 x 12 = 1,714,284
Take the first digit (1) and add it to the last digit (4) and then move the second digit (7) to the end and we get 142,857

And how about
142,857 x 15 = 2,142,855
Remove the first digit (2) and add it to the last digit (5) and we get 142,857
