What is the difference between crocodiles and alligators?

 The difference between an alligator (left) and a crocodile (right)

As you can see in the photo, the biggest difference in their appearance lies in their jaws: the crocodile's mouth is V-shaped, while the alligator's is more U-shaped. Their skin color also differs—crocodiles are greenish, while alligators are black or dark green.

And last but not least, crocodiles are considered to be significantly more aggressive and prone to attack than alligators.

What difference would you find in Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920) and Shakuntala Devi (1929-2013)?

 If you are comparing greatest Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan and great Mental calculator Shakuntala Devi then it would be like comparing light intensity of Sun vs Moon.

so what’s the difference between two-

• Ramanujan derived many pre-discovered mathematical theorems on his own relating to himself with higher mathematics at the age of 13 while Shakuntala devi started solving many complex mathematical problems related to basic mathematics or arithmetic at the age of 5 . after it Shakuntala devi’s whole life she did astonishing fast calculations related to only this basic arithmetic. while Ramanujan had done basic mathematics almost same age as Devi.
• Ramanujan discovered many new mathematical theorems,functions and theories like analytical theory of numbers and worked on elliptic functions, continued fractions, and infinite series. some of them are much mysterious. one of them being used after 90 years of his death in Blackholes calculations in 2010 ! some of them are called mock theta functions and may be used in string theory too. do you find any such thing from Shakuntala devi? did Shakuntala Devi ever wrote any single research paper in mathematics other than solving old problems like finding 23rd root of 201 digit number and multiplying two 13-digit numbers 7,686,369,774,870 × 2,465,099,745,779 but doesn’t that an already solved problem ( means can be solved by anyone by taking much more time than devi who knows its algorithm).what ramanujan did seems almost impossible for worldwide mathies.
• Divine talent like Ramanujan is not find before him in whole human history of mathematics till now we are living in this year. while for Shakuntala devi there is alternative like American educator Scott Flansburg. Ramanujan was termed as exceptional ,unforgotten and greatest mathematicians by many persons like renown mathematician G.H. Hardy.
• Ramanujan died so early at the age of 32 while Shakuntala Devi died at the age of 83.
• Hollywood made biopic on Ramanujan while Bollywood made biopic on Shakuntala Devi.

Now you can see the difference in their life span and works and impression on human society in world.

from my attitude Shakuntala Devi was a great human calculator but not a mathematician at all although wikipedia includes her in that list. she was a good maths entertainer by solving already solved mathematical problems much faster than others but that is not quite a contribution to field of mathematics. Computers and Calculators of high accuracy and fastness can do what Shakuntala Devi did, but what Ramanujan did it’s very hard and till now is almost impossible for even Artificial intelligence and supercomputers.

so Srinivasa Ramanujan is one of the greatest mathematicians and incomparable to any human calculator or computer because his significant contribution to mathematics which is still yet to find its full use in future of physics thus in future technology and thus in human society.

P.S. - I respect Shakuntala Devi too because of her talent.Both these great people were born in poor family and both were Indian too. I love both.

What is the difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies?

 Just for fun don't take it seriously

Hollywood: Aliens attack only America

Asteroids fall on America

The world is about to end- saved by Americans

The whole world revolve around America

Asteroids will be falling on America only- President will break protocols and will perform stunts and action to save the country. Scientists will perform all kind of experiments and will observe the monitor every minute to see what is happening. But at the end of the day the world will be saved by our inexperienced hero who has no knowledge about science, asteroids or about anything. In the end, Hero and his love interest will k**s while the world is still damaged by the asteroid!!

Bollywood -

Bollywood: Asteroid attack- Hero will enter with a song, then will save the heroine from goons, then they fall in love, song some songs.

Asteroid attack- slow motion, camera on hero, then heroine, then supporting actor, then background artist, everyone giving their reaction shot (while Dhoom Tana na plays in the background). Out hero chants Hanuman Chalisa, God enters the body of our hero giving him invincible powers. He takes the asteroid out of space and destroys it.

Then he returns to his area, everyone claps for him. He goes to his girlfriend to sing another song. The End.

Now on a serious note

1. Bollywood films use music and songs way more than Hollywood. Hollywood use songs mostly in the background or if they are musical. Indian films have music and even dance mostly inherent to the narrative.
2. In Hollywood Sci-fi, animation and fantasy are commercially viable genre. Even their animated features have a budget of 100–300 million dollars which translates into more than thousand crores rupees. In Bollywood the animation and Sci-fi genre are not as developed. Our highest grossing animation film is Mahavtar Narasimha with collections of 300 crores rupees but by and large we hardly see animation films, even films like interstellar or inception cannot be conceived in Bollywood because it will lack the commercial elements to make its successful and niche subjects are hardly Blockbusters in Bollywood.
3. The market- despite having much larger population Hollywood has a wider exhibition with more theatres, more wider overseas reach and more revenue. India has only 12000 theatres with sizeable amount of theatres in the South where Hindi films do limited business. Our ticket prices are also way cheaper than Hollywood. So our revenue is expanding but it is not comparable to Hollywood
4. Hollywood is an actual place in America which became associated with film production in early 1910’s due to availablity of land, and cheap cost of production. By 1920’s Hollywood emerged as a town around which Hollywood studios established their offices. Bollywood is not a place but is basically a derivative of Bombay and Hollywood because Bombay was the centre of Hindi cinema so it got identified as Bollywood a term many people don't find amusing. Also the regional languages have their own wood- Kollywood for Tamil, Tollywood for Telugu, Sandalwood for Kannada, Tollygunj for Bengali, Bhojwood for Bhojpuri etc.
5. American Cinema organise Academy awards also known as Oscar which has huge reputation all over the world with almost every country vying for it. Indian awards don't have the reputation. We have National Film awards which are given by Indian government and we have Filmfare awards which is the most significant awards for Bollywood film but our award shows don't have the same reputation as Hollywood.

What is the difference between knowledge and wisdom?

 Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is about a doctor who becomes obsessed with creating a being. He wants to be the first scientist to find the secret to life.

Dr. Victor Frankenstein goes on to find the partial remains of a dead man. He combines the parts of other dead people, patching them together to form a complete human. Then, he goes on to animate the creature using an unspoken science he had discovered (that the author doesn’t fully elaborate on).

The only thing we know is that electricity is the final piece to his medical breakthrough, and is what ultimately animates this being.

After it comes to life, things go off the rails, Dr. Frankenstein is terrified of his creation, shouting at it, before he flees his apartment. He returns, only to find it had run away, scared and angry, to be scorned by society, and eventually go on a rampage.

There’s a great anonymous quote, I recall from a few years back,

“Knowledge is knowing that Frankenstein is not the monster.

Wisdom is knowing that Frankenstein is the monster.”

This addresses one of the most common literature misconceptions in the world, that Frankenstein is Dr. Frankenstein’s actual creation.

Dr. Frankenstein never actually names his creature. It is just called Frankenstein’s Monster.

Knowledge means you get this basic fact.

Wisdom means you understand that Dr. Frankenstein is the monster because he had no business creating life in the way that he did, impulsively pillaging the remains of bodies, sewing them together, and with little consideration, forcing a tortured being into life simply to satisfy his own ego.

And not only that, he rejects the creature, who understands him and is hurt by his creator's disgust with him.

Victor Frankenstein, by playing god and feeding his ego, became the very monstrosity he was disgusted by.

Knowledge means you know the information.

Wisdom means you understand it in a way that most don’t.

What is the difference between old and present cricket?

 A lot has changed with the advancement of game over the years. Here are a few of those :

1. Bat Size :

This picture sums it up. Bary Richards is comparing his bat he used in 1970 with the one David Warner uses . This has made batting a lot easier than it used to be. Batsmen get away lot of time even after playing mistimed shots. To the top of it , numerous times top edges go for a six.

2. Introduction of DRS :

Who can forget this. A lot of such matches used to happen before where umpiring blunders changed the outcome of the game. Through DRS , the number of wrong decisions have certainly gone down if not been vanished completely.

For that to happen players like MSD should be more in number.

3. Quality of bowling:

Earlier these were the best bowlers in the world who were not dependent on conditions to take wickets. The conditions did affect their game but there was not a huge gap between their home and away performance.

Now these are the best bowlers. There is a massive gap between between their home and away performance. They are a class act as their numbers show but the World will give more respect to those who are not condition dependent. Though we still have people like Dale Steyn which is good to see.

4. Role of fitness :

Earlier there were a lot of players like Inzamam Ul-haq who never thought a lot about fitness and as it turned out it never affected their performance also.

But now there are a lot of players like these. With the introduction of three formats, growing importance of fielding, more cricket being played all over the world fitness is now important part of cricketer's life.

Smaller grounds , introduction of day-night tests, power-plays ,there are a lot of things that were not present 20–25 years back. Change is the law of nature and there is nothing wrong in that. But I personally think any of the change should not affect the contest between bat and ball because that is the heart of cricket.
