Pi Day 3-14

Hello people, wassup?
Yesterday was a very interesting day from a mathematical point of view because the date was 14th March i.e. 3-14, which is the decimal value of the mathematical constant Pi ( remember 22/7 = 3.14 ) ;)...
In 2009, the United States House of Representatives supported the designation of Pi Day. In fact, the Pi Approximation Day is held on 22 July (22/7 data format), since 22/7 is common approximation of Pi.
Find out more about Pi on Wiki/qwiki ....

The late Russian composer Stravinsky had said, "Music is close to mathematics—not perhaps exactly to mathematics itself, but certainly to something like mathematical thinking and relationship." So, the musicians have taken his idea seriously and tried to create the sound of Pi. Yes, no kidding, there is musical depiction of Pi :)

You dont believe it, hear it by yourself -

TUM NAA SAMJHE TOH KYA HUA..(HINDI POEM)

Aaj phir wo din yaad aaya hai
Ek baar phir dil ne uljhaya hai
Ye shaam aaj phir aayi hai
Ab kya kerun phir se teri baat aayi hai...

Sochta hun, jo hua hai ab ho chuka hai
Jo beeta so beet chuka hai
Par aisa kya hai jo tumhe nahi bhaya hai
Meri har koshish ko tumne bas thukraya hai...

Shayad, hum kabhi na samjhe the
Aur abhi bhi hum nasamjh hain 
Lekin tumper wo gila toh abhi bhi shaya hai
Par humne bhi toh itni muddat ke baad khud ko uthaya hai
Humne bhi apne dil ko khoob samjhaya hai...

Kheir, ye mere bas mein nahi ki main tujhe apne bas mein kerun
Lekin hamesha tujhe humne apne ehsaas mein paya hai
Tumne na suna toh kya hua, humne hamesha tumhe apne kareeb paya hai
Sirf dil mein nahin, tumhe humne apni dua mein sajaya hai...

TANU WEDS MANU- THE MOVIE REVIEW

I saw “Tanu Weds Manu” yesterday night. “Tanu Weds Manu” is the latest Bollywood release this week. The movie stars- R.Madhavan, the best south Indian actor in the Bollywood, and the actress Kangana Ranaut in the lead roles. Tanu Weds Manu is a typical Bollywood romantic comedy.

The movie is about a Doctor i.e. Manu, who works in London, comes to India for marrying the Indian girl when his parents pressurize him. Incidentally, Manu goes to see Tanu with his parents to Kanpur. Tanu is a spoiled Indian girl who doesn’t believe in arranged marriages, she loves drinking, smoking and boy-friends :) :)

Somehow, Manu finds the girl very beautiful and says yes for the marriage, but Tanu is not convinced. So, Tanu convinces Manu to say no for the marriage as she cannot say no to her parents. Then, the drama continues and the marriage is called off. Somehow, Tanu and Manu meet again at a common friends marriage (a Punjabi wedding) where they become more than friends, but there is a twist- Tanu has a brat boyfriend, played by Jimmy Shergill, who wants to marry her. Tanu is confused about the marriage as she starts loving Manu. The story then follows up with some more twists and turns and finally, Tanu and Manu gets married.

The first half of the movie is wonderful, especially the comedy in the first half of the movie steals the show. Tanu Weds Manu has been shot in the local streets and houses in places like Kanpur, Lucknow, Delhi and Kapurthala, which makes the scenes look realistic, and common people can relate to it. Both Madhavan and Kangana has done a great job along with other supporting actors in the main roles such as Pappi Singh (Manu’s close companion), Jaspreet (Manu’s best friend), and Payal (Tanu’s best friend). “Tanu Weds Manu” has a strong pre intermission story, but after the interval the movie becomes really slow and predictable. You will start feeling the movie has been dragged, and the director got confused with the ending of the movie.

The Punjabi Song- Saadi Gali in the marriage setup is very popular these days and is by far the best song of the movie. The first half of the movie is really good and I feel like giving it 4 out of 5 stars, but the second half is a total disappointment so my rating is 2.5 out of 5 stars for Tanu Weds Manu. Overall, it’s a one time watch and good job by all the actors despite a weak story. Check out this cool trailer of “Tanu Weds Manu”-

P.S. its been long since I did a movie review, so filling the void, Cheers !!

INTELLIVOCAB ( previously POWERVOCAB) VIDEO LIVE ON YOUTUBE

Well guess what? The first Youtube video review for the IntelliVocab ( previously PowerVocab) is live :)...I'm glad that I'll be able to show you now how this cool vocabulary building iPhone app works. All those posts, all those discussions and finally here it is-



One more good news is Faqden Labs, the developers of the smartest vocabulary building iPhone app, has just deployed the version 1.4 of InelliVocab (previously PowerVocab) and the users can update it.

The new features introduced in the latest version of IntelliVocab (previously PowerVocab) are-

• Visual representation of your progress.
• Antonym and Synonym questions added.
• Auto play for practice session.
• Email words to yourself and to share your result.
• Improved analytics.

IntelliVocab (previously PowerVocab) is certainly picking up popularity big time. As per Irfan, the founder of Faqden Labs, "IntelliVocab is nearing to 5000 users in just about one and a half months of its launch, and lots of students preparing for GMAT/GRE/SAT are loving this vocabulary building iPhone app. The response has been phenomenal and we are very happy with it".

I really like this IPhone app, IntelliVocab (previously PowerVocab), and I feel its not just useful for GMAT/GRE students but also very useful for all the non-native English speakers for improving their English vocabulary. 

PS. Due to trademark issues PowerVocab has been renamed to IntelliVocab
