GSMs Theory of Reading Maps and Distances


"The inspiration for Einstein for his findings on gravity was an apple that fell on his head while resting under a tree." I remember reading somewhere. Or being told by somebody.

Greater things are understood and greatness realized in certain occasions which are often termed weird and strange.

This piece of post which will throw new insight into the way we should travel to save time and minimize cost, in these days of high fuel prizes and low economic growth. Findings contained in this post are copyrighted, infringement of which, knowingly or unknowingly, will result in the reverse of this wonderful theory being applied on the violator.

I realized this great knowledge and the secret key to economic prosperity, which is presented to you in the form of GSMs Confused Theory of Reading Maps and Distances and Travel Techniques.

Look at the above map. Delhi is in the North, Madras aka Chennai is in the South. Bombay aka Mumbai is in the West, while Calcutta aka Kolkotta is in the East.Thats finding number one. Thanks. Thanks. I can already see people whistling. (This also reminds me of one of my earlier day confusions. How come "West" Bengal is in the East?) This is not the theory though.

Chennai to Delhi is approximately 2100 Kms by road and a couple of hundred kilometres less by air. Delhi to Chennai is also 2100 kms by road and a couple of hundred kilometres less by air. Finding Number Two = Distance between two places remains the same wherever you start from. Hey you there, close your mouth.. Greater things are yet to come. 

Chennai (South or Bottom) to Delhi (North or Top) will take longer duration for traveling than Delhi to Chennai. Reason? Law of Gravity. Einstein found out. GSM applied. (Btw, was it Einstein?) Law of Gravity should be read as "Anything on the top, can fall down easily to the bottom. Anything on the bottom, takes time to reach the top." (It ain't philosophy. Its Einstein's Law of Gravity Revisited). Don't you faint now! 


For those who don't understand, let me explain with an example. You have a glass of water in front of you. Can the water come quickly to your mouth if it is below your mouth. However, if you take the glass above your head and slightly tilt, it will fall into your mouth. Doesn't it take a longer to drink a softdrink using a straw, than drinking it by gulping directly by turning the bottle upside down? See, now you understand.


Therefore, Chennai to Calcutta takes longer than Calcutta to Chennai. If you want to travel to Calcutta / Delhi from Chennai, just tilt the earth a bit, well not exactly 'a bit', but 'many bits' greatly to make it hang upside down, and you'll be reaching your destination very very soon.


For all the real world Einsteins out there, Newton is gunning for you.


Thats the end of GSMs Theory of Reading Maps and Distances. I have a doubt, which can form the basis for all the future researchers. How to travel from Chennai to Bangalore, which are almost at the same height(!!!) on the map?

Hahaha!

You can travel from Chennai to Banglore on your Bullet. Remember, your Bull defies all laws of gravity! ;)
Travellin from Chennai to Bangalore:
Option No.1: Take a map, tilt to the left, so that now Chennai lies at the top and Bangalore at the bottom, then start travelling.. gravity will catch up.
Option No.2: Hook up with a girl / boy in Bangalore, so that as per relativity (Newton's another theory) it takes relatively a shorter span of time, if you travel towards your girl friend, than towards let us say, school.
P.s. To be wrong,
Option 3: Relativity would also work like this in any other fictional world: "Travel Faster than the speed of light, so that you ll be younger than when you started off with", which means you would have gained time, hence gained "savings in Cost" as well!!, Hence greater income and greater economic growth!!

Sir, u post yet another entertaining reading. How do u sound so convincing when u say Einstein discovered gravity? My friend just now violently denied that Newton was the discoverer of gravity!! (possibly becoz he is my friend?)

@msp dai. nee therinju panriya theriyama panriya nu theriyala. My assimilation rate of ur comment is 1/3.. PaathukO!!

@ Ketan,

Though my Bull defies all laws of gravity, I don't. With me on the seat, I sometimes wonder if I have pinned the Bull down by taming it!

@ MSP

Enna kodumai idhu? You too brutus! (Newton and Theory of Relativity?). Girl and making us go faster... Hmm.. Good.. What about this theory? When I eagerly wait to meet the girl, won't time go slow? Idhu eppadi irukku.

@ JRSD

Truth is always easier to explain. Thats why I sound so convincing.

Cheers

Dandanakka Reading this!!!

Travel from bangalore to chennai will be faster..when compared with chennai to bangalore (I can conclude logically !!!!)how?

Simple!! See..."B" ku aparam dhanae "C" varudhu!!! First B then down comes C. (Source: vijay TV Thangavel numerology map guide!!!)

@N(aveen)

Actually I wasn't at office. If I were at office, I would have definitely gotten hold of my prey to listen to my rants / ramblings / theories. I was travelling between two places some 1000 kms away from Chennai. Thats when this glorious idea dawned on me.

@ Sundar Raman

Good. You are on the right track. You should think of starting your own theories on these things and post them on your blog post for the future generation's benefit.

Cheers
Ah i should have made that point clear. I meant to say - "travelling towards a girl who is waiting FOR you", Anyway ...

And yes me too.. I just was so taken by the flow of the post that i thought i could comment in the same genre ., Hope that s what i managed to do.

Open Letter to the President, ICAI

Dear President, The substance of this letter is the state of examination and evaluation system of our Institute's qualifying exams. The recently declared result is just the tipping point, and not the substance of this letter. Let this communique not be misconstrued as demanding a revamp merely because the results have been pathetically low. This open letter would have probably been drafted still, even if the results threw out an extremely student friendly outcome of say 100% Pass. Before I move on to present my points, I would like to state that I have been a firm believer of assertion that you get only what you deserve. A person who got "100 Marks" deserved that "100 Marks". And a student who got "0 Marks", deserved that as well. As someone who got both the above extremes during my academic days, I have maintained the above assertion with a certain degree of understanding and conviction. I also would like to make it clear right at the ou...

Infertility! Where?

Kowshic was, or rather “is”, my first kid. I consider him so as he was the first baby whom I had an opportunity to handle (sans the nappy changing part!) and play around for a long time. I loved him. I adored him. I would have destroyed anything or anyone that even remotely tried harming him, for he was pure. Pure goodness, genuine emotions, infectious smile, innocence untouched by vagaries of our politically correct lifestyle in public, rank opposite in private. Isn’t it the reason why we love most of the babies? I, for one, haven’t had any repulsive feelings towards any babies. I find them cute. All the people I have been around also feel the same. So they have told me. So far so good. This post is not about Kowshic though. It is about our love towards toddlers like him. How genuine it is? Often, the true character of a person comes out in times of grave crisis. One such crisis in personal life, which I see in quite a few people, had thrown this thought at me, couple of years back. T...
