Nagaraj Narayana Bhat's Magic Squares: A Sorry State Story

After a week long stay in Hyderabad, traveling over night I came to Bangalore on Saturday morning. Stressed and strained, but back of my mind, I was prepared to go to my cousin's son's bramopadesham that was scheduled on Sunday in Sagar, Shimoga. Though I was late by a day being back to Bangalore, I had made up my mind and said to myself "let me go, no matter what!" and went to Majestic Railway Station. And to my fate, Intercity Train to Shimoga had just left. Having made my mind, went to Majestic Bus Stand, asked for Volvo and the informant said it has just left and the next one is after an hour or 2. Cursing and cribbing boarded Karnataka Red Bus to Shimoga.

By the time I had reached Tumkur, whatever the battery I had in my laptop that give 5hours power backup had exausted and I had to stop watching the movie, I was watching. As it was a day travel I couldn't get sleep and turned to whatsapp. And found a set of images sent by my friend, which are as below.


















Hope you are feeling proud of being INDIAN!!! :)

Even I was like, Oh! WAW! That's Great! Marvelous! He should be a genius! Howz that possible!
Wait a second!
I'm bored, no work to do! Laptop switched off and this bus driver is driving for ever! 
Let me try creating one on my name.
Got my pen and dairy out

And bang! within 10 mins I was proud I had created something as marvelous as this genius above...

I was not able to believe myself!

Did I really create it without even scribling!!!

Cross checked all the possible combinations, had keyed in 87 instead of 86 corrected it and everything seemed in line. 

Sent it to some friends and the same friends who were proud of the Ramanujam seemed to be jealous of my creation within no time. 

You took 10 min?

Made me wonder was he proud or wanted to test me if I had really created a magic square, so sent this photo 

Stating "still in bus!"

Said "Ah! then only special thing about this is you creating this while traveling in a bus".

Made me wonder, what foolishness!!! An unknown dead guy created a magic square and you are proud of him and circulate similar such messages all over internet and state "Proud to Be Indian". But at the same time, if your own friend recreates it, you have ego problem!!!   

Suddenly another reply "0 can't be in magic square"

Whaaaat!!! who made the rules!!!!

Replied "My Square, My Rules"

Traditionally magic square have been existance since times when Number "0" wasn't in existance. So, traditionally Magic Square started from 1 and consisted of positive numbers. But now, you see magic square with all kind of numbers. positive, negative and involving 0.

 Anyways, my work was just a 10min effort, while I was bored and not a professional work!

But people and their EGO!!!

Anyway, I had one other chance to put my real effort to stand up and recreate again to prove myself.

HENCE


PROVED.

AND THIS WAS CREATED WITHIN 5MIN!!!
WITH NO ZERO or negative number.

Didn't had stop watch with me or haven't made a video of me writing but for sure even the second time I haven't scribbled for right answer!

I believe anyone can do it and with right calculations it hardly takes that much time. 

What hurts is we modern Indians are proud of big names and then when someone our own create something rather than being proud you pass comments and see down. And I have seen this prevalent in most of the Indian upper class people, which is what making us live the life we are living in.

Change your attitute and you may be able to change the way you live and people around you live.

Intelligence is everywhere. Everyone is similarly talented. Some may create x other may create y. 
What gives a fanstatic result is collaboration of x & y.

For all the jealous friends.

I'm an IT Engineer with a MBA from United Kingdom.

If you say you are my friend and aren't in terms with that, I can only feel sorry for you.

I will continue to take my small step to change the way we live while I do what I do!

You smart, jealous, hard mouth people can continue to work for some unknown others and feeling proud of some known people and hitting & cursing your own people.

Because we are Proud Indians.

All the best.

To all who have realized to live life by sharing and caring, let's join our hands to make this world a bit more better place than it already is.

Sharing is caring!!
