Thank u DNR for keepingthis photo my regret is I couldnot do much for him except to get him nomimated as an exofficio expert on the board of studies of mathematics and statistics of marathwada university aurangabad 

I met him thrice in his koli at nasik temple he showed me his publications and research papers by others across the globe on his results on hershad number dilshad numbers, demlo numbers I came acrosshis name in an article in scientific American by martin gardiner on KAPREKARS CONSTANT 6174.

I was intrested in him and enquired about him from prof. Narshimham, prof. Srinivasan of TIFR bombay I also coresponded with prof

Yates of USA

I was mad to do research on kapraker's work so that he would get due recognition in the galaxy of mathematicians.

Having collected the research papers published till then in international journals and kaprekars own publications .I joined Andhra University as a FIP Phd scholar when I expressed my desire to do research on kaprekar they found me to be a maverick .I had to reluctently investigate PERFECT TOTIENT NUMBERS and quit research after getting M.phil subsequently I wrote to all and sundry in the acedamic world  requesting them to award kapreker honorarry degree that would have made kapreker happy 

Kapreker was just a matriculate and served as a elementary school teacher but his memory remains forever beacause of 6174 and the susequent research done by many.

I remain dis satisfied disgruntled and disappointed that karpreker a true aam admi without shaukeen qualifications could not get due recognition across the country my failure to do anything tangible has been my greatest frusration. MAY THE MEMORY OF DATTATREYA RAMRAO KAPREKAR LiVE FoREVER.

 A Feast of Vultures

Reading Josy Joseph's above book reminded me of AGNoorani's ministers misconduct,forty years back ,detailing how Kairon of Punjab,biju patnaik of odisha,et al tweaked the rules during their rule to develop their states as  a facade to build their finances.

This book mostly dealt with the murder of wahid of east west airlines,unusual rise of goyal of jet airways and the acts of omission and commission of the successive ministries of civil aviationi.

"....in the face of powerful politician-businessman Nexus,it would be yet another Indian miracle if democracy survives and flourishes ." Is a telling observation.

Industrialists becoming members of parliament and occupying parliamentary  committess on subjects of their business interests, etc make the democratic governance a mockery 

One has to agree with mallyas following poem

  "A Nation that prides itself in Modern self-sufficiency Is it real for FEW -and a dream for ALL?"

 PLAGIARISM!    ....Dept of education of govt of Andhra Pradesh recently prepared an attractive handbook ,SKILL GENIE, for the students of tenth class, intermediate and degree classes.It is found that that was Copy Paste from various websites ,lock,stock and barrel with NOT A SINGLE SENTENCE  in original.IT seems it was authored by govt college lecturers who were all Ph.D holders.What a pity!I am afraid the Ph D holders might have got their degrees similarly through copy paste and plagiarism!!!!!

 PERFIDY

It is a sad day that 42 jawans are martyred for no fault.As usual,the TV channels,will conduct debates ,outline the possible actions India can take,leaders of all parties will condemn the act and demand stern action.Ruling party leaders will assure us that a fitting reply will be given and no further terror acts will be tolerated and if necessary, Surgical strikes cannot be ruled out as if it is a talisman for all ills!After a few days,everything will be forgotten.

The govt shows alertness  only when the terrorists attack us.that euphoria lasts for few days.

Kashmir issue has only a political solution .no amount of brave talk for blaming a community or Pakistan for that matter can help solve the issue.

Namo ,must concentrate and focus on solving this issue instead of getting up from slumber after every terrorist attack and proclaim that a fitting reply would be given.

An all party meeting that includes other Kashmir outfits agitating for freedom be called immediately and an amicable solution is ironed out.

More than the impending general elections,solving Kashmir issue is more important to avoid further bloodshed of our jawans.

Jammu be made a seperate state of India and conduct plebescite for kashmir.let them decide whether they want to be with us or not.

India can't afford to sustain this problem any longer.
