Satyameva Jayathe Sucks...

I think Mr. Aamir Khan is trying to be Indian Oprah... or something similar...

Everyone was initially drawn towards #SMJ due to people's perception on his work, which is always intriguing, if not always good...
but on the long term, his agenda, it seems, is to capture the audience who are used to watching Soap Operas and Koffee Shows...

Why else would he chose such topics which we are all very eager to discuss but none of us has any solution for them... Even Mr. Aamir Khan don't have any solution for those, I bet... except his final word that such practices are / aren't desired...

Taare Jameen Par, however critically acclaimed it might be, is a bad movie for a reason... it is more of an Aamir Khan's movie than it was Darsheel Safary's... It is all about Ram Shankar Nikumbh, not about Ishaan Awasthi... and that sucks...
Satyameva Jayathe is exactly treading that path... and that sucks too...
Don't say he's at least trying... he's just being himself... (For God sakes, I'm an Aamir Khan fan)

Doomsday Algorithm

Often we see in the news or read  in some article about an extraordinary person who can name the day of the week when given an arbitrary date… It seems unbelievable…

All it requires is a bit of skillful math, some amount of talent, practice and knowledge of Doomsday Algorithm or Doomsday Rule…

 It is all about having an information that:

§  For any given year, 4/4, 6/6, 8/8, 10/10, 12/12 and the last day of february falls on the same day…

Ø  For odd months, it’s a bit tricky…

ü  January – Its 3^rd if its not a leap year, 4^th if leap year…

ü  March – Its 7^th – exactly a week after the last day of February…

ü  And remaining are a bit simple… 9/5, 5/9, 7/11, 11/7

§  It is called the Doomsday

§  Eg: This year the Doomsday is a Wednesday…

 Calculating the Doomsday for a particular year…

 For calculating the Doomsday for any particular year, we need an Anchor Day

§  An Anchor Day is the Doomsday for the zeroeth year (1800, 1900, 2000 etc.) of the century…

Ø  For the purposes of the Doomsday rule, a century starts with a 00 year and ends with a 99 year

§  Eg: the Doomsday of 1900 is Wednesday, hence Anchor Day for 1900-1999 is a Wednesday, similarly for 2000-2099 it’s a Tuesday…

 Then it’s all about calculations using some simple formulae (like the odd+11 method etc.)… unless you have a great memory…

So, when is this years Christmas???

 Doomsday 2012 is Wednesday

 So, December 12^th (12/12) is a Wednesday, so are December 19^th and 26^th

 So, December 25^th is a Tuesday…
