A publicity-shy Russian mathematician named Gregori Perelman’s work is projected as the decade’s breakthrough by Science Journal. Poincare’ Conjuncture that deals with the abstract shapes in three-dimensional space is finally solved. That is called in mathematics ‘Topology’ or Rubber sheet geometry. . ---venkat--- Dear Venkat on the new year, You have a writer’s flair and philosopher’s elusiveness. I have the pessimist’s defiance that would not glorify the past, present or the very short future, which may or may not be interesting. I am so confused that `infinite horizon’ is a creation of imaginative writer’s mind and that it does not agree with my concept of beginning and End, thanks to an almost unknown German philosopher Emanuel Kant. I am an average man. I do not belong to a genius clan as most foolish of my friends imagine or that much of an idiot many wise men presume. Poets hate me, for I have no special flair for verses and writers despise me for my total disregard of the grammar that poets cast aside too. A chief minister hates me for my exposing the false atheism of the Dravidians and Acharyas hate me for I question their right to eliminate cumbersome petition writers employed in the temples, using hired assassins. The PM will disagree with me when I say that the Indo Japanese international relationship cannot be improved by the finer performance of an actor and greater sense of audio- visual perception of the Nippon or when he speaks about the greatness of a language that he does not know even one of its alpha-numerical. Our former Prime Minister is also a likable man except when he blows hot and cold by professing kindness to Muslims in India and declaring that he is an RSS man at heart when he visits United States. All the same I accept you as a creative writer. This is only to understand the variation of mind in a decade. charu
