What happens in heaven?

Inside Heaven

Once there was a person who went to Heaven after his death.

An angel (guide) was showing him around. They walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.

The angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, “this is the Receiving Section; here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received”

He looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.

Then they moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section. The angel then said to him, “this is the Packaging and Delivery Section; here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them.”

He noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor they stopped at the door of a very small station. The man was so surprised to see only one angel seated alone and do nothing.

He asked the angel guide, “What is this section?”.

“This is the Acknowledgment Section; after people receive the blessings, only very few send back acknowledgements”, the angel guide answered quietly.

PI - Pictorial Explanation

Go back to your school days…; Mathematics class…; Geometry lessons…

Pi or π is a mathematical constant whose value is 3.14159. This is the ratio of any circle’s circumference to its diameter.

We all know about the above facts and can give many pages of explanations for the value 3.1.4159.

But the picture given above is sufficient to replace all such explanations.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Logic behind Arabic Numbers

February 23rd, 2009 46 comments

The number system what we use today (1,2,3,4,5…) is called Arabic Numbers System. We also have Roman Numbers System (I, II, III, IV, V, …) which is rarely being used.

Have you ever thought WHY One is 1, Two is 2, Three is 3 … and so on?

It is all because of Angles. Yes, it is the number of angles in each letter.

The following image has ancient Arabic numbers. All the angles that are formed in these letters are mentioned by the letter o.

The number of angles gives meaning to each letters.

Number 1 has one angle
Number 2 has two angles
Number 3 has three angles
….
and so on.

Observe the letter Zero. It has no angles.

Interesting. Isn’t?

“All my life I had a choice between hate and love. I chose love and I am here,” said Rahman after receiving his second golden statuette here.
