Bored?

Well, yes, on the last day of school you say "Yahoo!" then you swear that you'll just play all vacation long and you go home and it seems to be working then your mom kicks in and all the fun is gone so you're sitting at your desk like school is going on.
its common. It just happened to me too.
And I know that you guys are probably bored to the bone-so bored that you's give up your Wii to do something thrilling. OK, maybe not your Wii. that's going too far.
Anyway, you get what I mean. So I devised a little word game.
You take a base word, and from two letters from that, create another word that relates to the base word. Now take these two as base word, and repeat. Keep doing it until you are out of ideas. it should look like this.

M Prakash

if any of you are getting bored through these holidays, I want you to know how I survived the first week of these merciless, monotonous, vacations:
Through M Prakash.
You're probably thinking, "What's that?" so I apologize for just stating a name and expecting a reaction.
It's a class that I liked so much that I decided to give them some advertising. They want to reach out to all of the math talent in Pune, and I guess my blog is one of the ways of reaching more people they already have access to. It's like I'm doing my little bit.
Well, M Prakash is an advanced math class that mainly focuses on Geometry. In order to make it in to regular class, you have to attend a "workshop" for 6 days, then answer a 3 hour long descriptive answer type question. That's the catch. But don't worry: M Prakash will give you some much needed relief from utter boredom and I hope that you'll find it much more interesting than what we learn in school since the teaching style is much more interactive than the classic Math style.

The Liberty Puzzle

My brother wrote this story and I thought it was rather good, so I posted it here. Its not finished, though.
 PROLOGUE
A limousine was rolling down the almost empty street towards the White House sometime during midnight, passing a few people who were jogging or taking a leisurely walk at the hour, who halted and saluted. The limousine continued along the smooth driveway up to the White House before being halted at the gate for verification. A man inside flashed a card and the solider at the gate saluted as they continued…
         The next morning, the White House was found in ruins. The President was not in his bed, officials said. There were rumors that the President had been murdered. The man who had come as a visitor was nowhere to be seen. His driver had been taken into custody by the police, who claimed that he was the reason the President and the visitor had disappeared. This case was watched by the people all over the country. Little details were seen clearly and were speculated by many newspapers and shows. The investigation raged on through the night and the next morning. Private detectives were hired throughout the country to find clues. Clues that could solve the mystery…
