Message from the Director COER SM Dear students,

To be a successful person in your life you have to move

confidently in pursuing your dreams. If you have not decided

what will be goal of your life and where you want to go, there

is no favourable wind. I always like words of James Allen who

says, “Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you

become. Your Vision is the promise of what you shall one day

be. Your Ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.”

I strongly believe that there is no more powerful engine driving a person

towards excellence and long-range success until you have a vision of your

life. Vision will ignite the fire of passion and allows you to transform

dreams of greatness into the reality of achievement through action. Try to

go against all evils of your life which have become obstacle of your path in

achieving success. At last, I would like to say that dream big because if you

limit your options only to what seems possible or reasonable, you cut off

yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise.

Message from the Chairman

Dear Students,

Education has opened many doors. However, there are still innumerable doors shut tight -- unopened yet. These are the doors of the future, which can be opened with self confidence.

We should think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation. In COER, we do not train a student to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that they may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each. As new session is going to start, I welcome my all new join young aspirants to get learnt with great diligence. They should never forget “Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance”.

From the Desk of Editors

Dear Readers,

Straddling through the Gloria mundi, COER has moved

through the creative passage from March 2013 to June 2013.

The audacious odyssey of our intellectual, academic and

prosaic journey will attain its apogee in the harmonious and

cohesive co-existence of one and all. The momentous

inchoation of the diurnal activity of June on one hand

welcomes the new denizens of our premier institute but on

the other it also signs good bye though temporarily to all

aesthetic souls who have acsthetieised the firmament of

COER. The ineluctable presence of sultry June is indeed a

discursive dialectic as its above presence propels the

COERians to begin the Journey a fresh. We have already

transcended the ephemeral problems to ornate the fulcrum

of the institute with all possible rococoness. The present

reality of ours has assimilated almost all dialectics that has

propelled our journey to attain zenith in coming issues of the

Saraansh.

Interesting Facts about Numbers…….

Zero ( 0 ) is the only number which can not be represented by Roman numerals.

Do you know the magic of no. nine (9)? Multiply any number with nine (9 ) and then sum all individual digits of the result (product) to make it single digit, the sum of all these individual digits would always be nine (9).

Here is an interesting trick to check divisibility of any number by number 3.A number is divisible by three if the sum of its digits is divisible by three (3).

12,345,678,987,654,321 is the product of 111,111,111 x 111,111,111. Notice the sequence of the numbers 1 to 9 and back to 1.

If you add up the numbers 1-100 consecutively (1+2+3+4+5...) the total is 5050.

2 and 5 are the only primes that end in 2 or 5.

A 'jiffy' is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.

From number 0 to 1000, the letter ‘A’ only appears in 1000 (One thousand).

What comes after a million, billion and trillion? A quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, nonillion, decillion and undecillion.
