Mark Nifty points on stars using Rupee-Anna Scale

Nandi was saying “old” in brackets to denote that the “Swaram” is in the lower scale. Now he has decided to make it more explicit using “Rupee Anna” scale. For younger generations “Anna” (അണ) is a new word. It was a coin used in India till the introduction of decimal system in 1957. It is one sixteenth part of a British Rupee. Nandi feels that “Anna” can be used to divide 256 ( base frequency of carnatic music scale) in to 16 parts and to denote the closing value of Nifty with a maximum difference of 8 points. For example, the closing value of Nifty on 9th January, 2009 was 2873 and it will be denoted as “R11A4” meaning 11 Rupees and 4 Annas. Inversely Nifty points can be arrived at by multiplying value of R with 16 and adding value of A and multiplying the total with 16 ie. (11 x 16 + 4) x 16 = 2880. Off course the difference is just 7 points. This is required to track intra day variations in Nifty and to give a new dimension.

Today is a full moon day. When Moon is straight above your head, look at the moon, and draw 16 imaginary circles round the Moon to mark the Rupee value. Then draw 4 imaginary lines from the Moon to the end of the horizon in the four directions of East, North, West and South (anti clock wise). Divide each part into 4 segments. These 16 segments can be used to mark the value of Anna. Thus we will get 16 x 16 = 256 intersections to mark the Value of Nifty. If you can locate stars in those intersections it is fine indeed. Now we mark Nifty value of 2873 as R11A4 in the sky like an astronomical catalog. Those who are not lucky enough to see the beautiful Moon and clear sky can use the upper middle part of the Earth glob. Start from the North pole. Longitudes and Latitudes are already marked in it. Instead of stars you will land up in earth locations. That is also good.
