An IT guy from India went to the US, and like most of his friends, he wanted to enjoy *Pizza* at a nice restaurant . . .
He ordered a *9-inch Pizza*.
After a while, the waiter brought *two 5-inch pizzas*
And said, the 9-inch pizza was *_not_* available and he was giving him *two 5-inches Pizzas* instead,
and that he was getting 1 inch more for free!
Our guy politely requested the waiter to put him through to the restaurant owner.
The Indian gave him the mathematical formula to calculate the area of a circle.
Circle Area = *π r²*
where *π = 3.1415926*,
*r* is the *radius* of the circle.
So, a *9-inch circle area* = *63.62 sq.in.*
while
a *5-inch circle area* is *19.63 sq.in.*
The *two 5-inch circle areas* add up to *39.26 sq.in*.
Our guy said that even if he gave three pizzas, he'd still lose-out.
"How can you say you are giving me an extra inch for free?"
The owner was speechless.
He finally gave him *4 pizzas*.
Pl advise your children to take their Maths seriously!

Swami Vivekananda had of-course heard about the respected industrialist. As the conversation grew J.N. Tata explained that he was on his way to Germany. "I have with me sacks of soil : From various parts of India. I am taking these samples of soil to Germany. I wish to know if Iron can be extracted profitably from any of these districts." said J.N. Tata to the Saint. To which Swami Vivekananda replied, "Well, Sir, Even if these sacks contain Iron-rich soil, do you honestly believe that the Germans will tell you the TRUTH??? You must understand that No / NONE of the European Nations wish to...
