Calculation..... a much easier way

I feel that calculation is an inherent quality. Even a person who had not been to school can calculate very accurately.Let me tell you something that I've been observing for a long time.
    Here in Hata, whenever I buy something, suppose I have to pay Rs. 46 and I gave the shopkeeper Rs.100 note, what he'll do?  He will give me Rs. 4 and say 50 is completed and continues counting by adding Rs. 10 or whatever denomination he has till it becomes 100. What a wonderful way of counting!
Not an iota of error.
   In this situation , what we'll do. We'll subtract 46 from 100 as our teacher told us when we were small kids.Though we also do not make mistakes but their method is far more simpler and it can be taught to children  at the initial stage to hold an interest in mathematics.And mind you... they have not learnt any method of calculation,it's their inherent quality.

First day of the class:: Hurrying up to reach on time  tick …tick… tick and now we are leaving … We’ll definitely miss the time spent here. It was definitely something which cannot be pen down with pen and paper, but I wanna do this futile attempt. Each one of us had some friends and colleagues.

We all will remember  them- Nadeem Akhtar Sir--- forty one forty two (in French) but twenty one is never like that.. Why is that discrimination sir? Zakariyya Sir – Aisse karlo , Waisse karlo.. Accha accha likho,   Bhaag jao yehan se ,, fir se naashta kar lijiye Bengali – Mujhe thodi thodi baat taqleef deti hai mujhe kuchh mat kaho warna paas nahi ho paoge Athar Sir – S/W  Everything will boil down to this                 ...

Pages by a Depressed guy...not me Of Course!!

What I want from my life is a very difficult question I ask myself every now and then. Do I want a moderate salary and a good wife  or do I want to be at some very good post or do I want to become a teacher ?.And mind you, there is no pressure from anybody. Why each one of the options whether written above or just cooked up in  my head allures me to the same extent ? Some are very good for the money they give,some are very good for the charm and some I don't know.There seems to be a blurred picture vexing me 24*7.Sometimes I am relieved that Ok! look I have decided what I want to do but after sometime I am again back to square one. For a long time now , I am searching for an answer but there is no way out .Some of my friends tell me Do this and some,  Do that making me more and more confused. Its not their fault ,they just see in future an exaggeration of a miniature quality in me.  Am I the person with no goal in my life or is it just being too flexible. I don't k...
