    @Viswamitra
    Thank you for the lead Viswa. I have not seen Big Fat Greek Wedding. I'll catch up with it. I have seen one great Greek wedding and I had mixed feelings about it. I mean the seven year wedding between Jacqueline and Aristotle Onassis. I have seen video clips of the movie and the wedding depressed US.

    My dear Thyagu
    Thanks a lot for leading me to a short course in Greek. I had a colleague in SBI by name Pai and he owned a couple of restaurants too. But the 22/7 thingy is called Pi. It is never ending equation and one has gone up to a million digit
    Here is limerick on pi for you:

    'Tis a favourite project of mine,
    A new value of pi to assign.
    I would fix it at 3,
    For it's simpler, you see,
    Than 3 point 1 4 1 5 9'

    I have never dreamed except in my mother tongue. That's the reason why I could never become a linguist.

    :hello:Lots of Pai s in the offices I was employed to oversee their work. It lead to hilarious situations if I call one gentle man Pai invariably two female passenger peep in the cabin. On phone if you want to talk to a Pai several questions would be asked such as “you want which Pai - a or B OrC ........ male or female..... “
    Limerick is nice. That reminds me world of mathematicians institute and research celebrate pi or Pai DAY ON JULY 22nd every year. There is a spiritual angle for interminable pi and log of pi series as they seemed to end in infinity!
    Regards.

    I am glad you are not a linguist. I can understand what you write (may not understand Diogenes and that is altogether a different aspect) .... language wise. If you were a linguist it would have been again Greek and Latin!!!!
