The most versatile and ‘highly suspicious’ letter in English alphabet is ‘X’.
From solving simple mathematics to high school problems, ‘Mr. X is the mysterious man in demand’.
However, it is the blessings of “counting goddess Seshat” who tied a knot with alphabet X for creating mystery in mathematics. This less known highly anticipated alphabet has abundant quench for accepting numbers, variables and data.
My reminiscent thought recapitulates the childhood days of finding ‘X’.
My father used to squeeze my ears like “toothpaste tube” whenever I failed to find the square root of x^3, There were innumerable other occasions when ‘x’ tried to bully me in his style. Not only me, it is the story of every Ram and Rita, who scratch their head twice before "finding the unknown value of ‘X’’.
Mathematics would have been less interesting if there were no Mr. ‘X’.
Everyone hates his mischievous nature. He is at times cool and at times unruly. His best friend is ‘Y’ and his distant neighbors are ‘w’ and ‘z’.
Our dependence on grey cells is highly enhanced if Mr. X is with us. He is perhaps the master key that opens every lock.
Although, above praises makes no sense unless you are stuck by a problem. At that moment, he tries to replicate complications by increasing step complexity. His malignant brothers keep "the trouble on the go" by injecting variables at multiple places.
Despite his strange behavior, I imagine him as "ups and down" of human life.
All of us are running for a stable value of ‘x’. In this process our life is succumbed with x amount of pain and x^2 amount of happiness.
When our value will fall to x=0, nobody will remember us then... At that time we may rise up again, enduring all values of pain and move towards the “unknown value of ‘x” ’…..
