Some movies are so great to watch.


The Lake House is a 2006 American romantic drama film remake of the Korean motion picture Il MareDavid Auburn, directed by Alejandro Agresti, and stars Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock as Alex Wyler and Kate Forster, respectively an architect living in 2004 and a doctor living in 2006. The two communicate via letters left in a mailbox at the lake house they have both lived in at separate points in time; they carry on correspondence over two years, remaining separated by their original difference of two years. For Alex the time goes from 2004 to 2006. For Kate the time goes from 2006 to 2008. (2000). It was written by

I saw this movie recently. I found the concept very interesting.  
In the movie the boy is living in the world of year 2004 and the girl in 2006.
Though they are on the same world, they could not see each other because both are living their life at different year of time.
They are writing letter to each other and slowly they fall in love with each other.
But something strikes my mind. Is it possible for them to meet if they wish to meet?
What would be the date they meet, Coz both are on different year of time.
If girl wish to meet on her tomorrow then it’s 2 years after for the boy.
If they plan to meet on 14th Feb  2008 and the girl reaches some place to meet on that day. The boy also reaches the same place on the same date (after waiting for 2 years). Then what will be the date after that. Because that day both are on the same date and both have difference of 2 years.
Really thoughtful. Hats off to David Auburn(writer).

Artful explanations of 54 poker cards:


We all play cards. So do I.
But I often use to think that, how these cards have been created?
I use to always question myself
- Why are there 4 types of cards?
- Why each contains 13 cards?
- Why are there 54 cards in a deck?
- Who invented the cards? (He must be a genius.)
Finally I got some article that answers some of my questions.
It is quite interesting.

There are artful explanations of 54 poker cards:
The Big wizard stands for the sun, the little wizard stands for the moon.
The rest cards are for the 52 weeks of the year.
Respectively stands for spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Each patter has 13 cards, which means each season contains 13 weeks.
If J, Q and K are seen as 11, 12 and 13, the big wizard and little wizard is seen as 0.5 the total is exactly 365 (365 days).
