Of Square Root & Pi

Of Sq Root and Pi

There are many things I wish I knew and learned when I was in school. But I could not – I did not.

After spending so many of those years in school we may have learnt to figure out the square root of an isosceles triangle – but did we learn to forgive others ?

We know the direction of those migrating birds – but we don’t know which way or where we want to go.

We have cut into pieces those cockroaches in the lab – but we have never tried hard to understand human relationship.

We know that Mr. Shakespeare wrote “ to be or not to be”. That maybe the question – but we don’t know the answer.

We know what Pi is but are we sure who the hell are we? (refreshing pi : π is a mathematical constant whose value is the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter in Euclidean space; this is the same value as the ratio of a circle's area to the square of its radius. It is approximately equal to 3.14159 in the usual decimal notation. π is an irrational number, which means that its value cannot be expressed exactly as a fraction m/n, where m and n are integers.)


I sometimes really wonder what did I really do in school? Those guys taught us everything – except how the hell to live !

At one point or the other we may have asked all those questions - What is life all about?
What the hell are we doing here.
What is the point of all this universe?
Is there at all a point?
What is the meaning of life ?
Is there at all a meaning to life?
Why the heck should we bother? etc etc/....

Somewhere you may have come up with an answer. But did that answer stood the test of TIME?
