Hi all;

I have been a fan of ghosts and have been researching about ghosts and paranomic events for about 2 yrs. Out of them I found one of the story, just unbelievable. Here it is:


This is a shocking story based in Gurgaon at a BPO called Saffron, which was built on top of a graveyard and many employees claimed to have experienced paranormal activities. Though some details might be fuzzy as  the management of the BPO tried  to bury the story, such a tale of horror always gets heard through the grapevine.
Saffron has a business  process that had a girl named Rose, who was the brightest star on the production floor. She was a punctual employee who never took any unplanned leaves. Both the upper management and her colleagues were in awe of Rose's way of functioning and  looked upto her as a role model. She was socially friendly woman who made friends with everyone in her process. She was such a great employee that she won three 'Employee of the Month' awards  in a  row during her tenure at the BPO.

Saffron office at Gurgaon

But an unusual thing happened one day .

Towards end of her shift  she received an inbound call and  took it knowing that  her colleagues were about  to leave for their homes .Most inbound calls usually are around five  minutes long but this call went on for around 45 minutes. Her superiors  were surprised at the lengthy nature of this call and eventually  decided to barge into her call  to make sure she didn't need any support in helping the client . But what they heard left them shocked.

They were surprised to find that there is no one speaking on the other end of the line. Rose was weirdly in a deep conversation with someone who wasn't responding at all .   

When the call got over she seemed different from her usual friendly self  No one said anything to her, after all she was the best employee  of the process.

The next day she didn't turn up for work without informing anyone. This absence wasn't taken seriously as this was the first time that she  took an  unplanned  leave. But things became serious when she didn't turn up for work    again the next day. The trend continued for the next couple of days when the HR decided to contact her to find out if everything is alright with her . But when they traced her accommodation as per the address she had provided in  the company  records, they found out that no such girl lived at that address.

So the management spooked by this development , tried to do a background check on Rose and attempted to establish contact with her family. When they finally met up with Rose's parents,   they were shocked to learn  that Rose passed away about 8 years back !!!

The management returned baffled by this revelation . Rose remained a mystery. Her friends were mentally disturbed by this and her  best friend at work suffered a cardiac arrest on learning that Rose was something paranormal . The mystery still remains and the story was duly buried as any such story would bring bad name to the company.

Truth is sometimes indeed scarier than fiction!

What do you all think about this???

P.S.- I have till not found out whether ghosts are real or not. Do any of you believe in ghosts? Do any of you have some experiences to share? What are your opinions about ghosts???

#131 Re: Help Me ! » Introduction to Trigonometry (a.k.a. sohcatoha) need help understand » 2017-05-11 23:58:14

Hi taylorn5683,

Welcome to the forum.

In trigonometry, Sin of any angle of a right-angled triangle is the Opposite over the hypotenuse,
cos of any angle is the adjacent over the hypotenuse and
the tan of any angle is opposite over the adjacent.

Cosec is the inverse of sine function i.e. cosec of any angle is hypotenuse over opposite,
Sec is the inverse of cosine function i.e. sec of any angle is hypotenuse over adjacent and
cot is the inverse of tan i.e. adjacent over opposite.

So, in this figure:

image5A9.JPG

sin x=4/5
cos x=3/5
tan x=4/3
cosec x=5/4
sec x=5/3
cot x=3/4

Similarly you can do that for the above angle. I leave that to you. Hope you can do.

In the next question,

fig0901.JPG

The angle adjacent to base( which we generally call "theta"θ) is given and the base is given and you need to find the perpendicular. Its as easy as that.

15.θ=71°
     b=20 m
     p=?

tanθ=p/b
⇒tanθ*b=p
⇒tan(71°)*20=p
⇒2.904(20)=p
⇒58.08=p

So the height of the building is 58.08 m.

I hope you can do the rest.

Hope it helps

Your 15th answer is again wrong. Do you want the answer of question 15?

Hmm I know the weather is colder there but don't worry you will soon get adjusted there.

#135 Re: Maths Teaching Resources » Maths Books » 2017-05-08 01:37:15

Hi bobbym,
Came back after so many days due to my internet connection problem. Hope everything was going well here.

Hi;

I will try some more but I am preparing to move and this is occupying lots of my time. I will be a bit slower than usual.


Hmm, your 15 and 16 i) answers are wrong. The 16 ii) answer is correct.

Where are you moving, bobbym? Not from Florida to New York I hope? Anyways take your time, get the work right done and come back soon.

Ok I'll later, when I will get some time.

Hi everyone,
I took time to finally post the 20 log problems. Here are they in the next post:

#141 Re: Dark Discussions at Cafe Infinity » Some Great Youtube Channels to visit » 2017-04-27 21:44:49

And there's also my own channel, LearnMathsFree

Hmm, I watched your channel and some of the videos there, and i see you have exactly copied Salman Khan(the creator of Khan Academy). Are those videos made by you? Hmm, they are not so bad, they are good.

though it is nowhere near as refined or as popular as the ones you mention.

Don't lose hope, I already see 480 subscribers. Keep posting and advertising your videos and it will soon be popular too.

#142 Re: Dark Discussions at Cafe Infinity » Some Great Youtube Channels to visit » 2017-04-27 20:27:54

Hmm, Vsauce is also good but I do no find it as interesting as the above ones and many of the recent videos cost money, which is out of my reach.

So here are they:-

Hi,

When we represent a point on a graph we always write it as (x,y) where x is the distance fro the horizantal x-axis and y is the distance from the vertical y-axis. Here, the point (2,3) is 2 units away from x-axis and 3 units away from y-axis. Hence the distance of the pt. from y axis is 3.

You have that the wrong way round -- x represents the distance from the y-axis, and y represents the distance from the x-axis (so (2,3) is 2 units away from the y-axis, not the x-axis).


Hmm, Thnx for correcting me. I often get confused between the 2.

Hi iamaditya,

Thanks for the views and comments. Regarding making it 'Sticky', MathsIsFun decides.

Cant moderators make an article a "sticky" one. Well if not then I'm sure bobbym can do it.

P.S.-Again an excellent article. Is this ur hobby,ganesh to find good information and write about it. If yes, then keep it up!

Another doubt: There is a section in MIFF named "Ganesh's Puzzles". I thought you created it, but now I think MIF did. Am I right? If yes then ask him to create anothet section.....
Where you can store these articles in various topics such as Singers, dancers, musicians, scientists and so on. Eventually you will set up another Wikipedia here!

hmm good, now as you saw that your bumpkin-lie is caught, so now you are not describing yourself as bumpkin anymore.

#148 Re: This is Cool » bobbym, Are you our maths teacher at school? » 2017-04-09 01:56:10

hmm, you are right bobbym. We should. Proud of you big_smile
