The Last Luncheon with Mr.Phani

As usual woke up today and reached office little early. Reached my workplace and as I do every day had a look at phani’s place and he wasn’t yet office. Had a little chat with my colleagues and had sweets offered to our team by one of colleague for promotion they have got and started working seriously on my left out work. Everyday I usually visit phani, manohar and bala’s locations along with others locations. But this time as he was not there I went to manohar’s desk had a chat on the current affairs of the state of the day and returned back to my place and saw phani was leaving the place to have the stamp of security on the virtual card for the day. I went along with him and I did not realized that is the last time probably we will be together going to that place. Came back then again started working for some time and suddenly realized I need to submit proofs for IT this year went to his place and showed him the docs and asked him to verify still not realized this was the last time probably we both submit at the same place. Then we had discussion on superannuation & gratuity and blah blah. It was happened to be 1PM and we were heading to lunch and myself and phani been to bala’s place. We were then made to wait for couple minutes as he was working on some issue. As usual we had look at the delicious dishes available for the day and unfortunately there was not much of choice had to choose south Indian meals.

By now I have to realize and I was realized but not completely that this is the last lunch we were going to have together for the day for the month probably for the years to come until and unless we met at lunch time and if we offer each other to have lunch together. While we were having the lunch we had good time probably one last laugh and then we were heading for the walk after lunch as most of them do and the irony here is that we forgot to bring the ID Cards with us and we were saying each other that arrest warrant would be issued (laughing loudly by looking at each other). We had a long discussion on outing in Leonia which he will be going next week and the cheque he has to bring from the home to submit it to the finance not sure of the reason…..
We returned back to our respective locations and phani headed to his home to get the cheque book. There was furor among some of the colleagues about the conf room booking and I said to them he will come after half an hour or so. he came back form his home then we all were heading to the conf room to present him the card duly signed by everyone with their wishes/curses(Nobody expressed even if they have generally nobody wont express this day just joking) and to have some fun . while we were in the meeting everybody expressed their inputs on him and phani was saying thanks after each and every ones wishes…. that went for an about 45 mins. Probably minutes out of it is phani is helpful, expressionless (I completely disagree), manages work and study well, cooks dall daily (half hearted disagree).the above all I remember not sure of remaining superlatives used. Then discussion went on to parties for promotions given to the people and it was 30 mins or so for fixing the deal. I did not realized that this the last meeting along with the phani and interesting point here was i forgot entire meeting’s essence and only remembered the last part of it. We came out the conf room then people were making plans for Chandigarh for the marriage and i was completely forgotten that yesterday was the last evening with phani. Phani went each one’s desk not only to our team and also to his friend’s , well wishers and also few of his….. and conveyed his best wishes. He even came to me but i was completely out of sync as I completely forgotten Importance of the day and time. I headed for gym and came back to see his location is empty… (Was not surprised this time) I think this was the time I realized completely that he is no more here in the office, location. Then felt nostalgic but I couldn’t do much that time.

Yes I realized. I realized completely that I will be coming to office daily but I miss him also his bike starting from the parking location to discussion on AOC. I will have a look at his location and he won’t be there to greet me. As usual will cal his extn he will not be there to answer my call, I miss him starting from discussing strategies of AOC to lot more places in lot more ways. but life/work has to go on and will go on. as he updated status as ” change is necessary and change is constant” yes i too agree probably this shouldn’t effect much of personal relations.

Oh I haven’t mentioned right, he is leaving our company. I wish him all the best for his future as everyone say world is small and lot more leaving all together hope you will achieve all the very best keep in touch if possible do make call to us.

Quant… Basic Formulae

Consolidated some of the basic formula.
ALGEBRA :
1. Sum of first n natural numbers = n(n+1)/2
2. Sum of the squares of first n natural numbers = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6
3. Sum of the cubes of first n natural numbers = [n(n+1)/2]2
4. Sum of first n natural odd numbers = n2
5. Average = (Sum of items)/Number of items

Arithmetic Progression (A.P.):
An A.P. is of the form a, a+d, a+2d, a+3d, …
where a is called the ‘first term’ and d is called the ‘common difference’
1. nth term of an A.P. tn = a + (n-1)d
2. Sum of the first n terms of an A.P. Sn = n/2[2a+(n-1)d] or Sn = n/2(first term + last term)

Geometrical Progression (G.P.):
A G.P. is of the form a, ar, ar2, ar3, …
where a is called the ‘first term’ and r is called the ‘common ratio’.
1. nth term of a G.P. tn = arn-1
2. Sum of the first n terms in a G.P. Sn = a|1-rn|/|1-r|

Permutations and Combinations :
1. nPr = n!/(n-r)!
2. nPn = n!
3. nP1 = n

1. nCr = n!/(r! (n-r)!)
2. nC1 = n
3. nC0 = 1 = nCn
4. nCr = nCn-r
5. nCr = nPr/r!

Number of diagonals in a geometric figure of n sides = nC2-n

Tests of Divisibility :
1. A number is divisible by 2 if it is an even number.
2. A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3.
3. A number is divisible by 4 if the number formed by the last two digits is divisible by 4.
4. A number is divisible by 5 if the units digit is either 5 or 0.
5. A number is divisible by 6 if the number is divisible by both 2 and 3.
6. A number is divisible by 8 if the number formed by the last three digits is divisible by 8.

8. A number is divisible by 10 if the units digit is 0.
9. A number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of its digits at odd places and the sum of its digits at even places, is divisible by 11.

H.C.F and L.C.M :
H.C.F stands for Highest Common Factor. The other names for H.C.F are Greatest Common Divisor (G.C.D) and Greatest Common Measure (G.C.M).
The H.C.F. of two or more numbers is the greatest number that divides each one of them exactly.
The least number which is exactly divisible by each one of the given numbers is called their L.C.M.
Two numbers are said to be co-prime if their H.C.F. is 1.
H.C.F. of fractions = H.C.F. of numerators/L.C.M of denominators
L.C.M. of fractions = G.C.D. of numerators/H.C.F of denominators

Product of two numbers = Product of their H.C.F. and L.C.M.

PERCENTAGES :
1. If A is R% more than B, then B is less than A by R / (100+R) * 100
2. If A is R% less than B, then B is more than A by R / (100-R) * 100
3. If the price of a commodity increases by R%, then reduction in consumption, not to increase the expenditure is : R/(100+R)*100
4. If the price of a commodity decreases by R%, then the increase in consumption, not to decrease the expenditure is : R/(100-R)*100

PROFIT & LOSS :
1. Gain = Selling Price(S.P.) – Cost Price(C.P)
2. Loss = C.P. – S.P.
3. Gain % = Gain * 100 / C.P.
4. Loss % = Loss * 100 / C.P.
5. S.P. = (100+Gain%)/100*C.P.
6. S.P. = (100-Loss%)/100*C.P.

Short cut Methods:
1. By selling an article for Rs. X, a man loses l%. At what price should he sell it to gain y%? (or)
A man lost l% by selling an article for Rs. X. What percent shall he gain or lose by selling it for Rs. Y?

(100 – loss%) : 1st S.P. = (100 + gain%) : 2nd S.P.

2. A man sold two articles for Rs. X each. On one he gains y% while on the other he loses y%. How much does he gain or lose in the whole transaction?
In such a question, there is always a lose. The selling price is immaterial.

Formula: Loss % =

3. A discount dealer professes to sell his goods at cost price but uses a weight of 960 gms. For a kg weight. Find his gain percent.

Formula: Gain % =

RATIO & PROPORTIONS:
1. The ratio a : b represents a fraction a/b. a is called antecedent and b is called consequent.
2. The equality of two different ratios is called proportion.
3. If a : b = c : d then a, b, c, d are in proportion. This is represented by a : b :: c : d.
4. In a : b = c : d, then we have a* d = b * c.
5. If a/b = c/d then ( a + b ) / ( a – b ) = ( d + c ) / ( d – c ).

TIME & WORK :
1. If A can do a piece of work in n days, then A’s 1 day’s work = 1/n
2. If A and B work together for n days, then (A+B)’s 1 days’s work = 1/n
3. If A is twice as good workman as B, then ratio of work done by A and B = 2:1

PIPES & CISTERNS :
1. If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours, then part of tank filled in one hour = 1/x
2. If a pipe can empty a full tank in y hours, then part emptied in one hour = 1/y
3. If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours, and another pipe can empty the full tank in y hours, then on opening both the pipes,

the net part filled in 1 hour = (1/x-1/y) if y>x
the net part emptied in 1 hour = (1/y-1/x) if x>y

TIME & DISTANCE :
1. Distance = Speed * Time
2. 1 km/hr = 5/18 m/sec
3. 1 m/sec = 18/5 km/hr
4. Suppose a man covers a certain distance at x kmph and an equal distance at y kmph. Then, the average speed during the whole journey is 2xy/(x+y) kmph.

PROBLEMS ON TRAINS :
1. Time taken by a train x metres long in passing a signal post or a pole or a standing man is equal to the time taken by the train to cover x metres.
2. Time taken by a train x metres long in passing a stationary object of length y metres is equal to the time taken by the train to cover x+y metres.
3. Suppose two trains are moving in the same direction at u kmph and v kmph such that u>v, then their relative speed = u-v kmph.
4. If two trains of length x km and y km are moving in the same direction at u kmph and v kmph, where u>v, then time taken by the faster train to cross the slower train = (x+y)/(u-v) hours.
5. Suppose two trains are moving in opposite directions at u kmph and v kmph. Then, their relative speed = (u+v) kmph.
6. If two trains of length x km and y km are moving in the opposite directions at u kmph and v kmph, then time taken by the trains to cross each other = (x+y)/(u+v)hours.
7. If two trains start at the same time from two points A and B towards each other and after crossing they take a and b hours in reaching B and A respectively, then A’s speed : B’s speed = (√b : √

Enemy Of Larry Summers’ Ex-Boss Dies In Mysterious Helicopter Crash
By Mark Ames

India Helicopter

What does the mysterious helicopter crash that killed one of India’s most popular politicians have to do with White House economic czar Larry Summers? Read on…

First, the crash: one of India’s most popular politicians, who heads the state of Andhra Pradesh, just died in a mysterious helicopter crash. What’s eerie is that the dead politician recently went public attacking India’s most powerful oligarch family, the Ambanis, threatening to take away their giant offshore gas concessions. Meanwhile the Ambani brothers, Mukesh (the world’s 7th richest man) and Anil (the world’s 34 richest) are battling each other in a blood feud that’s taking the whole country down with them–that’s not a hornet’s nest you’d want to stick your fingers into, even if you’re the governor of a huge Indian province. The Ambani brothers’ feud peaked in May when Anil’s helicopter was found to have been sabotaged just before takeoff (read about it here). Anil strongly hinted he suspected Mukesh, but no one will ever know who did it, because the mechanic who discovered the dirt and gravel in Anil Ambani’s helicopter gear box was hit by a train two days later in what was initially ruled as a “suicide,” but which later was ruled murder.

So why would an Ambani have anything to do with the mysterious helicopter crash of Andhra Pradesh’s Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy? Just speculatin’ on a hypothesis, as the police chief says in Miller’s Crossing, and here’s why:

Just over a month ago, as the Ambani brothers’ insane internecine war over offshore gas deposits dragged on with no end in sight, Reddy publicly demanded that his state, Andhra Pradesh, take a share of the gas deposits for itself:

Even as the two Ambani brothers are locked in a legal battle over supply and price of gas from the Krishna-Godavari basin, the Andhra Pradesh government has sought its “due share” of the hydrocarbon asset.

He even attacked the brothers’ mother, who brokered the deal dividing up India’s gas between her feuding sons:

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy on Sunday said that the settlement of the gas dispute between the Ambani brothers could not be left to their mother Kokilaben and the Centre must play a decisive role, for which he has written to the Prime Minister.

“The dispute over sharing of gas is not an issue to be settled by (the) mother (Kokilaben). It is for the government to decide who should get the gas and also at what price,” Reddy said on the sidelines of a function here.

Ah, Y.S., you shouldn’ta attacked their mother. Next thing you know…Reddy’s deady.

Dead Cat Bounce

A dead cat bounce is a term used mainly by traders in the finance industry to describe a pattern wherein a spectacular decline in the price of a stock is immediately followed by a moderate and temporary rise before resuming its downward movement, with the connotation that the rise was not an indication of improving circumstances in the fundamentals of the stock. It is derived from the notion that “even a dead cat will bounce if it falls from a great height”.

This is the word which describes the current Stocks trend.

Divisibility Tests for 7,13,17 & 19

Divisibility test of 7

1).Double the last digit (digit at the rightmost place) and subtract it from the number left (excluding the last digit). If this number is divisible with 7 then the original number is divisible by 7.

This procedure can be followed as many times as required (until the number is reduced to 2 digit number). Then the number so obtained can be checked whether it is divisible by 7 or not. If the number so obtained is divisible by 7 then the original number is divisible by 7 and if not then original number is not divisible by 7.

E.g.-
Consider the number 1057.
Now the last digit is 7. On doubling it we get 14.
On subtracting it from 105 we get 91.
Now it can be seen that 91 is divisible by 7 so the original number is divisible by 7.

(It can further be simplified by doubling 1 and subtracting it from 9 and thus we get 7 which is divisible by7.)

Divisibility test of 13

To check whether a number is divisible by 13 we follow the procedure as follows:
1). Multiply the last digit with 4 and add it to the number left (after removing the last digit).
2). Follow this method again and again and reduce the number to 2-digit number form.
3). Now check whether the number is divisible by 13 or not.
If the 2-digit number so obtained is divisible by 13 then the original number is divisible by 13 otherwise not.
E.g.-
Let us consider the number 195.
Now the last digit is 5 and on multiplying it with 4 we get 20.
Now on adding this with the remaining number (i.e. 19) we get 39. Now as 39 is divisible by 13 therefore the original
number id divisible by 13.

Divisibility test of 17

To check whether a number is divisible by 17 we follow the procedure as follows:
1). Multiply the last digit with 5 and subtract it from the number left (after removing the last digit).
2). Follow this method again and again and reduce the number to 2-digit number form.
3). Now check whether the number is divisible by 17 or not.
If the 2-digit number so obtained is divisible by 17 then the original number is divisible by 17 otherwise not.
E.g.-
Let us consider the number 221.
Now the last digit is 1 and on multiplying it with 5 we get 5.
Now on subtracting 5 from the remaining number (i.e. 22) we get 17. Now as 17 is divisible by 17 therefore the original number id divisible by 17.

Divisibility test of 19

To check whether a number is divisible by 19 we follow the procedure as follows:
1). Multiply the last digit with 2 and add it to the number left (after removing the last digit).
2). Follow this method again and again and reduce the number to 2-digit number form.
3). Now check whether the number is divisible by 19 or not.
If the 2-digit number so obtained is divisible by 19 then the original number is divisible by 19 otherwise not.
E.g.-
Let us consider the number 209.
Now the last digit is 9 and on multiplying it with 2 we get 18.
Now on adding th18 with the remaining number(i.e. 20) we get 38. Now as 38 is divisible by 19 therefore the original number id divisible by 19.
