Finding MYSELF through partition of INDIA


It was mid-night. I was done crying and cursing myself for opting here to get some “adventure” in final year of my graduation. Before me were lying Saapadu and a mug of coffee, both completely untouched. Finally I decided to pack my bags and return to my hometown, my people...Delhi.
I was in Karumathampatti, a suburb of Coimbatore city in the state of Chennai. My summer internship was in BHEL and was scheduled in May. I was given an option to join the company’s zonal office which was in my hometown but I chose to go to some place far, where I would be able to discover myself, my shortcomings, someplace where I can live free and breathe free. Actually it had been so long since last I stepped out of Delhi so I found it to be best opportunity to flee from mind-numbing daily routine.
Scorching heat of summers welcomed me from airport. I was ready for my voyage but the only problem I was able to see till now was language problem. South Indian cuisine was something I cherished since childhood. The day I landed, was my reporting day as well. In BHEL, I was welcomed by a bunch of colleagues who, from that very moment, started mocking me (for not being one of them), bullying and deliberately used to talk in Tamil so that I don’t get to understand a single word of it. There I befriend Vasanthi, who used to make my survival easy out there.
Day by day, due to this handful of people, I grew hatred for this place and thus making my endurance even more difficult. Then came this day when I decided to run-away from this place, leaving my internship in middle. Days passed and I was not able to overcome from the terror I faced in Karumathampatti.
Years passed and everything returned back to normal. One fine night I was chatting with my friend Sunidhi and conversationally told her about the trip and the reason why I came back before completing the training period. After few days, she gifted me ” http://www.amazon.in/Cart-Full-Husk-Novel-Partition/dp/1503108120”>CART FULL OF HUSK. This was the book that changed my life forever. This was then when I realized what those people would have faced or would have gone through when they had to leave their country forever and settle themselves in an alien hostile nation.

Big-M Method and Two-Phase Method

Big-M Method The Big-M method of handling instances with artificial  variables is the “commonsense approach”. Essentially, the notion is to make the artificial variables, through their coefficients in the objective function, so costly or unprofitable that any feasible solution to the real problem would be preferred, unless the original instance possessed no feasible solutions at all. But this means that we need to assign, in the objective function, coefficients to the artificial variables that are either very small (maximization problem) or very large (minimization problem); whatever this value,let us call it Big M . In fact, this notion is an old trick in optimization in general; we  simply associate a penalty value with variables that we do not want to be part of an ultimate solution(unless such an outcome is unavoidable). Indeed, the penalty is so costly that unless any of the  respective variables' inclusion is warranted algorithmically, such variables will ...
