Math Wrath




I can't believe I'm confessing this online, but I'm a math-dud. I just about scraped through exams in school (and yes I even cheated to get that pass mark!) and I 'dropped the subject' as soon as I had the choice, which was at the age of 16 and opted for Psychology instead. And till date the number-crunching crunches my insides. So what do I do? I avoid all things numerical. At discount stores i take friends who can do the calculation for me, so I don't end up paying 2, 550 instead of 25.50. I avoid doing that tax thing (see I'm also math-lingo illiterate) and lose far too much than I would if I DID do that tax thing, but hey! atleast I don't have to add huh? I actively avoid anything and everything that will make me smath my head against the wall.

So when I came across this blog, I was intrigued. Someone's actually having fun with this! And I spent a reasonable amount of time trying to understand these.... but my escapist self got the better of me and I decided to 'write' about it instead. I hope you can enjoy it though.

Hey, did not know that when we did business together! ;-)
Seriously, wanted to get back in touch with you and literally stumbled upon this blog.
And, as a coincidence, I'm on Blogger too.
Time to be in touch again?
Seems likely so. :-D
