Sagaya Fernando Mumbai: 2 December 2020 Born into an average Indian family in the state of Kerala 30 years ago, Vivek Raj never thought that he would become a Math’s wizard one day, and bag awards for doing the fastest mental calculations with ease. Vivek, a resident of Arattuvazhy village in Alappuzha district of Kerala, who now conducts shows titled ‘Mathemagics’ for young students, got hooked to calculations when his father Raphael P C (a school teacher then) gifted him a simple calculator when he turned 13 years of age and was in Class VII. The turning point in his life came when his Class XII English teacher Fr. Titus Chullickal asked his students what came into their mind thinking of number 7. While some of the students replied about the seven wonders of the world, the seven colours of the rainbow and the seven continents, Vivek multiplied the number seven by itself several times and reached a 11-digit number in a matter of seconds. (7x7=49x7=343x7=2,401x7=16,807x7=1,17

Though the Gray Langurs or Hanuman Langur – an Asian species of monkeys – are primarily leaf-eaters, their interactions with human beings, mainly devotees who throng religious places located along forest areas, has marked a change in their diet. These wild animals, which are basically shy in nature, have also evolved their relationship with humans.
A 2.30 minutes long video shot of a person feeding chapatis to Langurs near a Sufi shrine in Gujarat, India, doing the rounds on WhatsApp, vouches this.
The middle-aged man sitting on the ground is surrounded by a large group of Langurs. He doles out Chapatis (unleavened flatbread) from a packed packet, one by one to the simians which come to him. Within a minute and a half, the first packet gets over, and one his associate hands him a second packet of chapattis, and the Langurs rush back to grab the chapatis. Now the man just extends the packet to the monkey, telling them to take as much as they want.
“Although Langurs are basically plant eaters, they are now habituated with various food substances offered by tourists. Food is the only factor which makes them want to interact with human beings very closely. They maintain a systematic social life, and their interactions with tourists are so friendly that it can be hardly differentiated from that of humans,” says biologist Prafulla Mohanty.

ReplyDeleteA few weeks ago, someone noticed how attached we are to our rats, wondering how we could go through the heartbreak of loving animals with such a short lifespan. I didn’t know how to answer as we haven’t yet gone through the experience.
