Let us go into today's blog....

Interesting read: This article was forwarded to me recently and much to my surprise, my search in google did NOT fetch the desired results. The following table would show on how the language I speak, Tamil (Thamizh to pronounciate correctly!!), has the greatest depth in usage of the language and the habitats and wealth of information our ancestors have used and passed on.Try if you can find some answers!!

1 = ONDRU -one
10 = PATHU -ten
100 = NOORU -hundred
1000 = AAYIRAM -thousand
10000 = PATTAYIRAM -ten thousand
100000 = NOORAYIRAM -hundred thousand
1000000 = PATTU NOORAYIRAM - one million
10000000 = KOODI -ten million
100000000 = ARPUTHAM -hundred million
1000000000 = NIGARPUTAM - one billion

10000000000000000000000 = MAHAYUGAM -?????????????????

That is One of the oldest and greatest languages in the World for you!!! Did you find any good answers??

Interesting experiments: With the recent announcement from TamilNadu government on the official daily 3 hour power shut down, I was wondering what are the things that I could do to get my 4 year old out of boring drill and increasing humidity?? Surprisingly, few of the below finger activities can come to help.

Try it out when you sit idle the next time your street is shut down with power!! But make sure that you have good candle to reflect your actions. Otherwise you may end up scaring the home folks!! BEWARE!!

Money matter of the day:  I read this article today where it screamed "next recession is NOT far away and could be worser than the current one".  The contents said the following: " Jim Rogers' clarity of thought shone through again in a recent TV interview. Rogers believes that the next recession may not be pretty far away. And when it does happen, it is going to be much worse. The simple reason behind this is the fact that the US just can't increase its debt again by a factor of five! "They've taken on gigantic amounts of debt that you and I are now responsible for. The central bank is making it worse", Rogers is believed to have said. Rogers is of the opinion that the world will be far more better off without the US Fed. He believes that it is the US central bank that is causing the majority of the problems. We cannot help but agree. By keeping interest rates low, the US Fed is not letting inefficient capital perish. Instead, it is just letting the pain prolong and is setting the stage for an even bigger crash should rates start rising once again. This is certainly bad news for people hoping that the worst of the crisis is behind us. It should be noted that booms and busts are inevitable. However, it is the Government intervention that makes it even worse."

Last line made more sense to me more than the whole content. Another recession?? bid scary, huh??

Let me continue with more such updates tomorrow. Signing-off!!
