Satire...
New Delhi: Faced with the prospect of having to use unreliable public transport for up to three days a week, Tadapit Kumar, a software engineer working for an MNC in Gurgaon but residing in South Delhi found a novel way to solve his impending woes. Tadapit traded in his old Honda City for a smaller car with square root of negative two on the number plate.
“I have to travel twenty five kilometers every day from home to
office”, Tadapit said. “The only way I can do that by public transport
is if I change three buses, or change two buses, take the Metro and then
take one of those congested shared autos… or walk to work… none of
which is an option really with a boss like Chaddha who expects me to be
in office by 9:30 sharp and cancels my attendance if I come in at 9:31.
So, you see, I had to do this number plate thing”.
“Square root of negative two is an imaginary number – far from being even or odd”, Tadapit said. “Any division by two will lead to an imaginary result… hence, for all mathematical purposes, my license plate and thus by extension my car too has to be imaginary”.
