Homemade Abacus

Home made Abacus

Materials : Wooden  batten (lipping pattil), Pencils, Beads 

Idea from http://www.arvindguptatoys.com/toys/abacus.html

Slipper can also be used instead of wooden batten

Using Slipper/Wooden batten :

• A simple abacus can be made from a used rubber slipper/wooden batten. 

• Make three equidistant circular holes in a slipper with a shoemaker’s punch, Or drill in wooden batten. They should be just big enough so that a pencil can fit tightly in them. 

• Stand three pencils in the slipper. Cut the pencils so that only nine beads can be fitted in one pencil. 

• The pencils represent place value – the right one “units” the middle one “tens” and the left one “hundreds”.

Inspirational Quotes - ( from 'Mrutunjay' - by Shivaji Sawant)

Mrutunjay :

Some days back I read about the book named "Mrutunjay" by Shivaji Sawant in news paper's Sunday supplement. I had read that book 2-3 years back. But in this article the reader has put couple of lines from book and I like them most. The lines were so inspiring that I thought to put them with picture. So I searched for suitable picture, I got one photo clicked by me on trek on Purandar fort last year. Hope you will like it as well.
