It is past Teachers' Day. But remembering our Gurus is never
late. To start with, our parents have been our Gurus to walk us
through our life, then our school and college teachers, friends
and foes for many important tough life lessons, and then the
environment in general is one of our greatest teachers. Last but
not least, one must have a spiritual Guru to teach us the truth
of our life, making us capable to face any challenge in our
life.
Wish you a happy and healthy Teachers' Month.
We continue to defer our classroom-based weekend workshops as

+ Naturally Recursive Trees:
A tree is one of the many data structures, which is naturally
recursive ... which has zero or more (sub)trees hanging from
it ... subtrees give the natural recursion of lower order ...

done recursively ... Read More

beard in the next 1/12 of his life. At the end of the
following 1/7 of his life, Diophantus got married. Five
years from then his son was born. His son lived exactly 1/2
of Diophantus' life. Diophantus died 4 years after the death
of his son. How long did Diophantus live?

+ Eight Clues to Happiness by Khushwant Singh
Khushwant Singh at his best. The rationale applied to each
preference is absolutely top class.
Having lived a reasonably contented life, I was musing over
what a person should strive for to achieve happiness. I drew
up a list of a few essentials which I put forward for the
readers' appraisal.
- First and foremost is GOOD HEALTH. If you do not enjoy
good health you can never be happy. Any ailment, however
trivial, will deduct from your happiness.
- Second, A HEALTHY BANK BALANCE. It need not run into
crores but should be enough to provide for creature comforts
and something to spare for recreation, like eating out,
going to the pictures, travelling or going on holidays on
the hills or by the sea. Shortage of money can be only
demoralizing. Living on credit or borrowing is demeaning and
lowers one in one's own eyes.
- Third, A HOME OF YOUR OWN. Rented premises can never give
you the snug feeling of a nest which is yours for keeps that
a home provides: if it has a garden space, all the better.
Plant your own trees and flowers, see them grow and blossom,
cultivate a sense of kinship with them.
- Fourth, AN UNDERSTANDING COMPANION, be it your spouse or a
friend. If there are too many misunderstandings, they will
rob you of your peace of mind. It is better to be divorced
than to bicker all the time.
- Fifth, LACK OF ENVY towards those who have done better
than you in life; risen higher, made more money, or earned
more fame. Envy can be very corroding; avoid comparing
yourself with others.
- Sixth, DO NOT ALLOW OTHER PEOPLE to descend on you for
gup-shup. By the time you get rid of them, you will feel
exhausted and poisoned by their gossip-mongering.
- Seventh, CULTIVATE SOME HOBBIES which can bring you a
sense of fulfilment, such as gardening, reading, writing,
painting, playing or listening to music. Going to clubs or
parties to get free drinks or to meet celebrities is
criminal waste of time.
- Eighth, every morning and evening, devote 15 minutes to
INTROSPECTION. In the morning, 10 minutes should be spent on
stilling the mind and then five in listing things you have
to do that day. In the evening, five minutes to still the
mind again, and ten to go over what you had undertaken to
do.
RICHNESS is not Earning More, Spending More Or Saving More, but
"RICHNESS IS WHEN YOU NEED NO MORE".
