My lil brother Ranjan(Vittal, as we lovingly call) has finally made it in the AMTI-The Association Of Mathematics Teachers of India examination and has bagged the ALL INDIA FIRST RANK .
As i'd started off with this post, it really is a very nice feeling to have such talented people around at home and it becomes even more special when more than one intelligent person is a part of the family. On a lighter note, it is actually tough to manage pretending as one of the intellectuals among them. (lol)
My uncle, an IIT-ian, his son(yet-to-be IIT-ian) , and the other(non IITian but equally talented) ppl all surrounding me....well....you can understand my position only if you were one among our family.
Morning 6.30, the time when i go through 'the metro plus' , 'the chennai times' or the 'friday review', This boy and his father would be seriously discussing maths!
...."hey vittal, nethiki anda formula vechu solve pannen le, adhuku nan oru easy solution kandupudichiten..." !
("@#$%^&*(*&%$$!%^#----->this is how i understnd their talks) " and they discuss the problem fr a couple of mins and then ...." idha naan appove sonnen" says vittal. Now for the fear of being questioned about something i like the least, i disappear from there!
Evening, the time i spend sitting on the sofa texting someone.... "inniki maths le 100/100 a?? super super!! will come my uncle's voice as soon as he comes back from work, and the boy again starts discussing a new problem for the day's (sorry, evening's) quota! Mannn!!!! i have seen ppl discussing answers after their exam...but even after scoring a centum ??? Thats called 'HEIGHT OF PADIPs-NESS' in our language!
... poor me....i leave the place again for the fear of being unanswerable to their questions...
Leave alone the mornings and evenings..One fine evening, the current goes off and all of us are sitting around a candle....my brother ASUSUAL asks a dumb question : "appa...inda candle edunaale perusaa eriyuthu???? "
Anybody else would have said, thiri perusa iruku. adaan....and coz its my uncle, you have nothing less to expect of him other than a well explained, detailed chemistry physics and mathematics oriented answer to it! Both of 'em discussing subjects even during a power cut may seem a little too much, but thats become enjoyable now, for all of us watching the 'awesome twosome' talking maths scince and numbers round the clock!
do you think this is it??? well, there are 100s of such stories that i could go on with :)
We(around 7 ppl at home) are watching a movie, some hero running faster than a moving train....my bro making mockery at that stupid scene(may be coz it was not his fav hero) ...and i'm wondering why my lil brother hasn't commented yet, there comes a shock of my life....once again..."appa, eppadi pa ivan train a vida vegamaa odraan?" and having read so many examples , you must know what his reply would have been.... " train ....man...distance...speed...kms...s=d/t...formula..calulations...." MY GOODNESS.....I had to leave the movie half way thru....again!!!
This is what i meant, it is actually tough handling such intelligent people at home :P:P
But never the less, the young genius at home is celebrating his happy moment and of'course i being his proud sister wanted to write this post right away, not missing the excitement to wear off!
Let me congratulate him through my blog along with all his friends and well wishers....A HEARTY CONGRATS BRO :) !!!!
