Audiobook

Non fiction 

The following is a summary of those who may not get time to read or listen to the book and a brief for those who do! No spoilers!

The book starts with the issues of selection in many situations. Whether you select the first one or wait and watch for a better option to come. The same thing is also the secretary problem since in a list of potential people who turn up for the job, you may not go with the first one but then which number do you stop!?

Searching for an apartment in a busy city and the rat race to find it! 

In both these situations, the author tells us about 37 percent!

Use only 37 percent of your allocated time to research and get the first one or immediate one after that!

You can use similar algorithms in every aspect!

Before it was used on computers, it was used in Humans! Finite sequence of steps used to solve a problem 

History of the word algorithm and based on some Persian mathematician! The term algorithm derives from the name of Muhammad ibn Mūsā al’Khwārizmī, a ninth-century Persian mathematician. His latinized name, Algoritmi, meant “the decimal number system” and was used in this meaning for centuries!

Quotes Carl Sagan! Science is a way of thinking and not just a body of knowledge!

Like the book do not think by Joseph Nguyen; he also says not to think and trust your instinct! 

The secretary problem demonstrates a scenario involving optimal stopping theory that is studied extensively in the fields of applied probability, statistics, and decision theory. It is also known as the marriage problem, the sultan’s dowry problem, the fussy suitor problem, the googol game, and the best choice problem. Its solution is also known as the 37% rule!

Merrill Meeks Flood (1908 – 1991) was an American mathematician, notable for developing, with Melvin Dresher, the basis of the game theoretical Prisoner’s dilemma model of cooperation and conflict while being at RAND in 1950. Albert W. Tucker gave the game its prison-sentence interpretation, and thus the name by which it is known today!

The book also tells an interesting story of a famous scientist who used the selection method and pros and cons to select his second wife! Successfully!

Exploration and exploitation more or less the same! In both the essence is to investigate or dig further to get your job done!

The authors tell how it is better to try and fail rather than fail to try!

They talk about the card sorting machine which was actually invented for census because the whole process was long and cumbersome. The Holoret machine for census which later became IBM card sorting machine and finally gave rise to proper computers! The history described in very interesting! 

So the card sorting is essentially getting an order to make the things simple and successful. Sorting is making order; doing laundry properly as the author say!

They talk about computer terminologies like Big O notation, Bubble sort, Comparison counting sort, Ping attack and most importantly Cache which is the key word! How these influence the routine has been described.

Look and leap! Take your chance after a period of thought and then do not procrastinate! But is that the deal always! 

The authors introduced a new term which is almost as bad as Procrastinate which is in fact almost the opposite meaning! So this is the act of completing tasks as soon as possible even if it costs extra effort or the quality of the outcome deteriorates! Some people may use this approach in order to avoid the anxiety and stress of last-minute work! In some areas this faster but inefficient completion of work is actually considered an unhealthy behavior pattern and is accompanied by symptoms such as conscientiousness, eagerness to please, and high energy!

The word is Precrastinate! 

Different types of auction are described like the Dutch, English or Vikry (Do not know the proper spelling because I only heard it!) auction! Of course in most auctions you give the deal to the most cheapest or the highest bid! But then that does not assure the best value! So in Vikry auction, the deal is given to the second best! 

They tell about a textbook available in Amazon for some million dollars plus shipping because of some algorithm error! Apparently the algorithm did not know when to stop!

Revelation principle; any game which requires strategically masking the truth can be transformed into a game which requires nothing but simple honesty! 

Prisoner’s dilemma! which is a commonly discussed issue and how it’s always better to defect! Same thing on a larger scale in field for grazing!

A similar dilemma which can never have a proper solution is Sitting or table arrangement in a restaurant or parking in a mall!

The authors tell about an interesting thing about an ANT which is infected by a parasite and climbs a mountain so that it can be picked up by a bird which is the final destination of the parasite! Similarly how Toxoplasmosis makes a rat not be fearful of the cat! Because the final destination of Toxoplasmosis is the cat gut!

All in all a very interesting book on life and how many actions are algorithmically derived! The final parts of the book end with moral and statements of positivity like Be kinder to others and be kinder to yourself or how life is too complicated and the fact that these aren’t the concessions we make for being rational but that’s what being rational means!

“The sweet voice of the nightingale was a euphony

Like the sound of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony!

Nature is beautiful for all to see and hear

Laugh at the joy and for the pain, shed a tear!”

Do you know who is Kane Kramer?

Not the quirky Cosmo Kramer from Seinfeld whom everyone knows! Even Kramer though was an inventor of sorts!

Kane invented a music player which was the size of a credit card with a small LCD screen and navigation and volume buttons and would have held data of at least 8 MB of solid-state bubble memory chip with a capacity of 3½ minutes’ worth of audio! He was the first one to patent the idea too!

Plans were made for a 10-minute stereo memory card and the system was at one time fitted with a hard drive enabling over an hour of recorded digital music. His first investor was Sir Paul McCartney! 

Later, Kramer set up a company to promote the player now called IXI and five working prototypes were produced with 16-bit sampling at 44.1 kilohertz with the pre-production prototype being unveiled at the APRS Audio/Visual trade exhibition!

At that time the company at the time had “orders worth £60 million” (value at current day!) for the device from the recording industry!

However, in 1988 a boardroom dispute within Kramer’s company and the subsequent failure to raise the £60,000 required to renew the patent resulted in the patent lapsing and entering the public domain!

Apple of course picked it up and developed the first music player in the same lines! Yes! The iPOD!

So Kane is the official genius behind the iPOD! And he came up with this idea of technology when he was just 23 years old, in 1979! What were you doing when you were 23 years old! Most probably reading! Younger days though would have been spent watching Kung Fu movies especially starring the birthday celebrity Jackie Chan! 

Now maybe ask Alexa or Siri to play soft instrumental music and sleep!

Shubh Ratri!

“He was singing a song for her it felt like a screeching cat!

She was wondering what he was actually getting at!

But she understood it was only the sound which was askew!

The meaning of his words was more important, that she knew!”

This is a billion dollar industry and most famous all over the world and the most popular past time in the country where it was invented!

The literal translation of the word means ”Empty Orchestra!” 

So the story goes about Daisuke Inoue who was a drummer in a band that made its money in the 1960s by providing backing music for drunk Japanese businessmen!

One of these customers asked Inoue to play for him during a trip. Inoue was unable to leave his job and instead offered the man a tape of the band’s accompaniment!

One rendition of a Japanese ballad later, and this concept was born!

Unfortunately for Inoue, he failed to capitalize on the idea despite developing 11 more machines and renting them out to bars and clubs. His failure to secure a patent allowed other companies to move in and develop their own variants of the machine!

His biggest contribution was understanding the difficulty amateurs had in singing pop songs, recording his own versions of popular songs in keys that made them easier for casual singers!

As such he also included a rudimentary reverb function to help mask singers’ deficiencies. For these reasons, he is often considered to be the inventor of the modern business model for this past time!

Now, its musical content is an instrumental version of a well-known popular song. In recent times, lyrics are typically displayed on a video screen, along with a moving symbol, changing colour, or music video images, to guide the singer!

Nevertheless this spread throughout Kobe, then, over the course of the Seventies, all of Japan as major manufacturers such as JVC began producing their own versions of the singing machine! 

So did you get it!?

Yes! Its Karaoke! 

The official patent holder of the karaoke machine is Roberto del Rosario, who is from the Philippines. He developed the karaoke’s sing-along system in 1975 and is recognized as the sole holder of a patent for a karaoke system in the world!

With the advent of apps like Smule and you tube music; Karaoke is a global phenomenon and it does not matter whether you sing well or not! It is a fun time activity and not the Grammy award! Talking about Grammy reminds me of another world famous Grammy winner and today’s birthday celebrity Pundit Ravi Shankar!

Now maybe sing a soft lullaby on Karaoke and sleep!

Shubh Ratri!

“He fished it out and threw it far yonder the fence!

Warning if it comes back then it will get its comeuppance!

He may be a giant in front of the small and irrelevant ant!

But it is a big issue when it gets into his pant!”

Long post alert!

Over so many blogs I have been trying to give credit where it is due when the credit is given wrongly or completely to one person! Like you have the invention of Light Bulb and all we have been told is Edison when such inventions are a team effort and series of efforts and not one person who got up one day with a light bulb in his hand! 

My aim is not to belittle the known inventors but to state that some big discoveries and invention cannot be the work of one person! Like you cannot credit the freedom or independence of a nation to one person and take away the sacrifice of several other freedom fighters!

Today’s debunking involves someone who is so famous that even kids know his name!

Everyone knows the seminal work done by Charles Darwin on evolution when he published the Origin of species! In fact you must understand that he had kept his findings locked for several years without realizing their true worth! In fact he actually wanted to become a monk! 

The book was revolutionary and altered the way we think about nature on this planet. Controversy still exists relating to many of the specifics proposed in this book, but Darwin’s work forever changed the course of scientific study into nature! 

So much so that talk evolution and you cannot think of anyone else!

But there was another theorist, explorer and noted geographer whose work has contributed equally if not more about the initial understanding of the theory of evolution!

His name was Alfred Russel Wallace.

While his work garnered a certain amount of respect from his contemporaries, he also came up with the theory of evolution via natural selection entirely independently of Charles Darwin. At the time, Russel and Darwin worked quite closely, with Russel providing samples from his travels for Darwin to use as evidence for his upcoming book. This led Russel to propose his own theory regarding evolution that was nearly identical to Darwin’s. Though this was recognized during the time period, posterity has not been so kind to Russel. 

Like fellow naturalist and colleague Charles Darwin, Wallace traveled the world, observing and collecting samples of species. He traveled to Brazil and various islands of the Malay Archipelago that make up modern-day Indonesia and the Philippines, where he collected thousands of specimens of insects, birds, and other animals but due to a marine tragedy all of Wallace’s notes and samples were lost at sea!

Despite this setback, Wallace set off on another voyage in 1854 to Southeast Asia to collect more samples. By 1855, his observations led him to the conclusion that living things change over long periods of time—they evolve. However, he could not explain how or why they evolve. Then, in 1858, while still in Southeast Asia, he became ill again. Wracked with a fever, he suffered hallucinations, but when the fever broke, the answer came to him—species evolve by adapting to their environment! The truth seeker in me though normally cringe at such stories since they may be exaggerated like the apple and Newton! 

Wallace’s research on the geographic distribution of animals provided critical support for his evolutionary theories and led him to draw a boundary line through Southeast Asia that divides Asian and Australian animal groups. It signifies the unexpected distribution of animals on either side of the line. Several mammal, bird, and fish species are found in abundance on one side of the line and only in small numbers, or not at all, on the other side! This line, runs from the Indian Ocean to the Philippine Sea and is deservedly called The Wallace’s line! Some recognition albeit late!

Now while you can still make Wallace play second lead to Charles, he should be given the credit where its due! Playing second lead and actually doing a great job was the trademark of birthday celebrity Sreenivasan! Rest assured talent will shine one way or the other!

One of the biggest problem with the evolution is the upright posture which is why the only way we can sleep is down and straight! Pay your dues for being the so called evolved species and sleep!

Shubh ratri!

“He had no fear, he felt no shame!

He rolled the dice and called out a name!

He lost all his money; the wretched dice was to blame!

Oh do not worry too much, it is just a game!”

When you were young (er!) you would have played this game and when I was introduced to this, we were hooked! The game had a dice and a board and money! Of course at that time it was just printed paper money but still the joy of having money in the bank and buying properties all over the world was a thrill indeed!

When you get broke, you literally felt the loss of money even if it was fake! When you had to ask loan from the bank you would literally feel the heat! It was fun for the whole family and a good introduction to the big bad world of business! 

In India I remember it to be called The Business game while all over the world it was called The Monopoly!

This delightful game of capitalism and money was actually having two twists when it comes to origin!

The official common story of rags to riches may have been something you may have heard, if not here it is!

For generations, the story of Monopoly’s Depression-era origins delighted fans almost as much as the board game itself! 

The tale, often repeated and even printed as a story in the game box along with the Community Chest and Chance cards, was that an unemployed man named Charles Darrow dreamed up Monopoly in the 1930s!

He sold it and became a millionaire, his inventiveness saving him — and Parker Brothers, the beloved New England board game maker — from the brink of destruction!

Fans of the game also learned that Hasbro, which has owned the brand since 1991, would tuck real money into a handful of Monopoly sets as part of the game’s 80th “anniversary” celebration!

What an amazingly sweet story! But the story is just an amazing fairy tale! The origin that is; the tucking of real money may still be true!

The real inventor of this game was from a left-wing feminist named Elizabeth Magie!

Magie created and patented an early version of Monopoly, called The Landlord’s Game, in 1903, about three decades before Darrow. Darrow learned about the game from a couple who had played it in Atlantic City (which is where many of the game’s street names come from) and made a few changes: The original game included a wealth tax, public utilities and it had two sets of rules, one that allowed players to create monopolies and crush their opponents, and an anti-monopolist version that rewarded all players when wealth was created. Of course the Monopolist version became more popular and how!

Now for the real story! So one night in late 1932, Charles Todd and his wife, Olive, introduced their friends Charles and Esther Darrow to the Landlord’s game. As the two couples sat around the board, enthusiastically rolling the dice, buying up properties and moving their tokens around, the Todds were pleased to note that the Darrows liked the game. In fact, they were so taken with it that Charles Todd made them a set of their own, and began teaching them some of the more advanced rules!

One day, despite all of his exposure to the game, Darrow – who was unemployed, and desperate for money to support his family – asked Charles Todd for a written copy of the rules. 

After he sold a version of the game to Parker Brothers and it became a phenomenal success, eventually making him millions, one journalist after another asked him how he had managed to invent Monopoly out of thin air – a seeming sleight of hand that had brought joy into so many households. “It’s a freak,” Darrow told the Germantown Bulletin, a Philadelphia paper. “Entirely unexpected and illogical.” Of course it was a lie told out of thin air!

Magie though lived a highly unusual life. She supported herself and didn’t marry until the advanced age of 44. In addition to working as a stenographer and a secretary, she wrote poetry and short stories and did comedic routines onstage. She also spent her leisure time creating the board game that was an expression of her strongly held political beliefs!

The second twist in the story is that she actually designed the game as a protest against the big monopolists of her time — people like Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller! So it was an anti-Monopoly game! So many twists is like the movie Dhrishyam! Of course I am a fan of the original but still Birthday celebrity Ajay Devgn did a decent job! 

Life may not be a game but still everyone has to play!

The move now is to sleep!

Shubh ratri!

“The pressure was so high that several times he did whine!
It was natural and normal, not a petty crime!
He was alright don’t fret you all!
He was just answering the nature’s call!”

Many times you want to curse someone or something and you are a decent guy like me (since I do not like to curse or call names! or say stuff like f@@@!); then you would most probably settle for crap!

Crap of course is a polished form of shit which is also used by many to curse!

The earliest, late 17th century, sense of the noun crap was to mean money. The root of this is standard English crap, waste or chaff or French crape, dirt! In addition the word has roots in the Dutch krappen, to pluck off, cut off or separate – an image that also underpins that of turd, excrement, which comes from Old English tord, that which has been torn or split, i.e. from the body!

Another possible association of Crap with shit may be because of plumber Thomas Crapper! Apparently his name appeared on the once-famous Crapper brand of toilets!

Crapper in spite of his crappy name, however, did not invent the flushing device with which he is so associated! He did patent the U-bend and floating ballcock — key components of the modern toilet — in the late 1880s, but he never held a patent for the flush toilet!

Much earlier, in 1596, John Harington, an English courtier and the godson of Queen Elizabeth I, described what can be considered the first flush toilet (Only two working models were made, one in Haringon’s own home and one in Queen Elizabeth’s palace.)!

The first patent for a flushable toilet was granted to the Scottish inventor Alexander Cumming in 1775 and his design included an S-bend and a more sophisticated valve system, similar to those in today’s toilets!

Thomas Crapper came into the plumbing scene in the 1860s. Between 1881 and 1896, Crapper took out nine plumbing patents, for simple pipe improvements! You could say his patents were just crap!

Even though it feels odd talking about it, the process is one of the most important one which you have to do everyday so thanks to Thomas you can go in peace! Now if you are stuck somewhere with no options then all you can do is dance! Do not dance like birthday celebrity Prabhu Deva though; it may lead to some smelly accidents!

Now use the Crapper…I mean restroom if you have to and sleep peacefully!
Shubh ratri!

“He chalked up the board with numbers and letters for all

As an educator he looked like he was standing tall!

He did ponder at the hidden truth which no one can see!

No one understood the subject and neither did he!”

The theory of relativity usually encompasses two interrelated physics theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity.

At the time of proposal it was stipulated that there were only three people in the whole world who actually understood this theory! 

The three people who understood General Relativity at that time were Albert Einstein, David Hilbert, and Hermann Minkowski! They all contributed significantly to the development and understanding of this theory! Even now the number of people who truly understand this theory is less!

Now both theories of relativity explore Newton’s concepts in relation to the laws of motion and gravity, demonstrating that Newton’s ideas specifically failed to hold up in the presence of particularly powerful gravitational fields. Since its inception, the theory has seen diverse practical use, from the atomic bomb through to modern-day GPS systems! 

Einstein became a household name so much so that if you want to go as a scientist then his get up is the default! If you ask anyone to name any scientist he or she can remember then Einstein’s name is one of the commonest to come! 

Yes, I know you are waiting for the twist! 

Well though Einstein is credited with explaining the theory of relativity, he did not discover it in the sense that the original thought process and physics was worked up by several others before him and if you have to select one person as the true ‘discoverer’ of theory of relativity then the prize would go to James Clerk Maxwell! 

James Clerk Maxwell was one of the foremost mathematicians of the 19th century. His work on electromagnetism created the foundation on which Einstein’s theories were built, a fact Einstein himself was quick to recognize!

James Clerk Maxwell was a Scottish physicist and is regarded by most modern physicists as the scientist of the 19th century who had the greatest influence on 20th-century physics, and he is ranked with Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein for the fundamental nature of his contributions!

The concept of electromagnetic radiation originated with Maxwell, and his field equations was in turn based on Michael Faraday’s observations of the electric and magnetic lines of force.

Maxwell’s ideas also ushered in the other major innovation of 20th-century physics, the quantum theory. His description of electromagnetic radiation led to the development (according to classical theory) of the ultimately unsatisfactory law of heat radiation, which prompted Max Planck’s formulation of the quantum hypothesis—i.e., the theory that radiant-heat energy is emitted only in finite amounts, or quanta!

The interaction between electromagnetic radiation and matter, integral to Planck’s hypothesis, in turn has played a central role in the development of the theory of the structure of atoms and molecules!

Of course Maxwell was limited by the science and tech of his times which is why he did not reach the destination of relativity. It has been said, if he’d lived past the age of 48, Maxwell may well have gone on to develop his theories to the same conclusions Einstein reached following Maxwell’s death! It is also been said that birthday celebrity Hariharan Anantha Subramani is one of the greatest singers of our time relatively speaking of course! 

Now leave physics and concentrate on the biology of rest!

Shubh Ratri!

“There are many things which are strong or weak but this one is both!

You may want it to love or sometimes even loath!

Protect it with your life body and soul if you must!

It is not a glass or metal or even a jewel, it is  Trust!”

When we hear the word What ‘exponential?’, we are adapted to think big! The word literally triggers an ‘explosion’ in our minds!

Of course in simple terms exponential means very rapidly. 

But the law of equality ensures that when this word is put in front of something negative then the result is also explosively negative! This rapid decrease in the value or importance of a substance is known as exponential decay! 

Of course we are used to listen to this word in relation with the physics of radiation and atomic energy but according to this novel Algorithms to live by; the computer science of Human Decisions by Brian Christian and Tom Griggiths; this term is something which we see and can use in our life!

The term is actually a part of your life without you knowing it like the status of your relationship is under exponential decay when your wife catches you with your girlfriend! There of course you will be more worried about the biology rather than physics!

One of the commonest and frequent real-life example exponential decay is the depreciating value of a vehicle especially a car! In fact this starts as soon as your car leaves the showroom! Factors such as wear and tear, technological advancements, and changing market demands are held responsible but you do get an idea when you look at the IDV or the insured declared value of your car! In fact at some point if it is not worth as an antique, the car’s value reaches a point where it’s better to scrape it off than to maintain or sell it!

Even health wise by studying the exponential decay process of various drugs, researchers have suggest dosing regimens, determined drug efficacy, and this has ensure the removal of drugs from the body to avoid potential toxicity with maximum efficacy! 

A similar phenomenon is seen when an endangered species faces threats such as habitat loss, climate change, or poaching, its population size decreases over time. This decline also follows an exponential decay pattern and that is the reason why if an endangered species is identified, quick action must be taken so that this rapid decline can be managed! It is literally a time bomb in every sense!

The authors also state how a computer also uses exponential decay to manage multiple processes and this is the reason why sometimes when the work is delayed it is always better to reset and start over! 

They have also suggested to use exponential delay in your life routines! Like for example if you have a friend who does not reply or come to your invitations, the solution is not to suddenly stop inviting him or her! You must use exponential decay and sequentially increase the time gap of your invitation which ensures that you do invite him or her occasionally but do not get frustrated if he or she does not come! If he or she does accept your invitation then that is the reset point!  Then you can invite him or her to all subsequent events! And the cycle continues! Exponential increase and not decay is the legacy of music and the divinity of classical music especially the foremost stalwart and maestro Thyagaraja!

A quick scribe during a busy travel is my humble dedication to the legend.

Now see the exponential decay of your alertness in your sleep!

Shubh Ratri!

“You can color your hair and make it black!

That’s just a look, not a life hack!

So wisdom is not dependent on your hair which is white!

But by the experience, knowledge and your foresight!”

It’s better to feel wise after a fool’s day!

In the early 20th century, a groundbreaking innovation changed the landscape of manufacturing forever: the assembly line. In this system, a product moves along a line, with each worker performing a specific task, ultimately leading to the completion of the final product. It broke down complex processes into smaller, specialized tasks!

In fact the assembly line is the cornerstone of efficiency and professionalism.

While the assembly line is synonymous with Henry Ford and Model T cars, he built upon others’ work. So who invented the assembly line? The concept actually dates back to at least the Industrial Revolution! But if you stick to the modern definition then get ready to pay a ransom! 

Sorry for that pun! The credit is often given to Ransom Eli Olds!

Ransom is one of the forgotten masters of the early century, the man most credited with bringing mass-production to Detroit and largely establishing the auto industry. The Oldsmobile Curved Dash was, for a time during the nineteen-ought’s, the best-selling car in America and is considered the first mass-produced vehicles in history, selling 5,000 units in 1904! When it involves such a huge number then it is understood that there was some kind of mass production system behind it!

Ransom put in place much of what we recognize as the modern assembly line today, defined repetitive operations, fixed stations and parts delivered to the worker!

By 1905 Olds had moved back to Lansing and was building 5,000 cars a year!

So why does the credit for the invention of the assembly line often goes to Henry Ford! It is because of one very critical addition, Ford put the cars on a conveyor of sorts, creating the all-important moving assembly line! Now there may be a doubt on who started the assembly line but there is no doubt that birthday celebrity 

Devika Rani Chaudhuri is the first lady superstar of Indian cinema!

Now take a break from the assembly line of life and sleep!

Shubh Ratri…

“She laughed and he also laughed it away
He said don’t take it seriously, it is April fools day!
Then again if you make an honest try
Lips may be silent but the eyes do not lie!”

A news report appeared this day in 1957, and presented a family in the canton of Ticino in southern Switzerland gathering a bumper spaghetti harvest after a mild winter and “virtual disappearance of the spaghetti weevil”.

Footage of a traditional “Harvest Festival” was aired along with a discussion of the breeding necessary to develop a strain to produce the perfect length of spaghetti.

The editor of Panorama, Michael Peacock, told the BBC in 2014 how he gave de Jaeger a budget of £100 and sent him off. The report was made through its voice-over by respected broadcaster Richard Dimbleby.


At the time, 7 million of the 15.8 million homes (about 44%) in Britain had television receivers. Pasta was not an everyday food in 1950s Britain, and it was known mainly from tinned spaghetti in tomato sauce and considered by many to be an exotic delicacy.

An estimated eight million people watched the programme on 1 April 1957, and hundreds phoned in the following day to question the authenticity of the story or ask for more information about spaghetti cultivation and how they could grow their own spaghetti trees; the BBC told them to “place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best!

Did you understand what was going on?!
So growing Spaghetti on trees did not set you off!

In the days before net and the famous WhatsApp university! This was how false news was spread!

This prank is said to be one of the biggest April Fool’s joke ever!

Panorama cameraman Charles de Jaeger dreamed up the story after remembering how teachers at his school in Austria teased his classmates for being so stupid that if they were told that spaghetti grew on trees, they would believe it! It did happen and how!

With sufficient amount of time and money it goes to show that you can prove anything you want! Even if it is for one day! Now although is my birthday on the first of April, it is better to have a proper celebrity sketch! Utpal dutt with his mischievous smile and comic timing fits the bill perfectly!

Now do not try to think of some elaborate hoax to pull up on the first!
Money does not grow on trees! (wink wink!)
Suprabhatam!
Have a great day!
