पंद्रह का पहाडा...
पन्द्रा एका पन्द्रा
पन्द्रा दूनी तीस
तियो पैंतालिस
चौके साठ
दाम पचहत्तर
छक्का नब्बे
सते पछोत्तल
अट्ठे बीसा
नवे पैंतीसा
पन्द्रा दहा डेढ़ सौ...
-- These were the unforgettable words of wisdom which my grandma made me remember when I was new to the world of numbers, and literacy as a whole for that matter.
Decades have passed.
But the words still hold true, and still help me solve the petty mathematical solutions of my life.
Thanks, Grandma.

This is so sweet! And as a matter of fact I connect to it, because I still count on इकाई दहायीं सैकड़ा हज़ार for solving maths, taught by my Grandma. :D
:) And that makes me think. We owe every bit of knowledge to our family. It is they who coded our ROM firmware. And we may update our operating systems or even the bios, but our family decides our system's architecture. And what an architecture mine has been!
