Köshur number system is kinda weird (for academics).

Well, it's fine for day-to-day conversations. But, I recently tried using Köshur numerals while learning math. It's quite unintuitive when you look at what's written and what's being spoken. For example:

Numeral English Köshur
6 six shĕ
7 seven sath
67 sixty-seven satühöṭh

I personally find English and Persian number systems more intuitive for modern math, as you don't have to mentally flip the numbers while reading them. Although the Sanskrit and Köshur numbers have had their advantages, I'd say those were mainly related to the way math was done in Sanskritic traditions (origin of the decimal place-value, consistent 10s, etc.). Currently, they don't seem to help much. English and Persian numbers seem quite straightforward w.r.t. writing and speech.

If we could do something similar for our numbers, they might be easier to learn and use in mathematical contexts because the spoken order would match the written notation.

Numeral English Sanskrit Persian Köshur (+ hypothetically?)
0 zero śūnya sefr siphar
1 one éka yek akh, kun
2 two dvi do
3 three trí se trĕ
10 ten daśa dah dah
11 eleven éka-daśa yāz-dah kah / (kuni-dah?)
15 fifteen panca-dasa pānz-dah pandah / (pāntsan-dah?)
19 nineteen náva-dasa, ékonaviṁśati nūz-dah kunü-wuh / (navan-dah?)
20 twenty vimśati bist wuh
21 twenty-one éka-viṃśatiḥ bist-o-yek aküwuh / (wuhan-kun?)
67 sixty-seven saptashashtiḥ shast-o-haft satühöṭh / (shēṭhan-sath?)

My friend and I are planning a 15 day Srinagar trip from 15th July. Can you suggest local places other than famous places as well?

Hi everyone,

My friend and I are planning a 15-day road trip to Srinagar starting on 15th July. We'll be driving our personal car , so we'll have the flexibility to explore nearby areas as well.

We already know about the popular tourist attractions like Gulmarg, Sonamarg, Pahalgam, Dal Lake, Mughal Gardens, Doodhpathri, etc. This time, we'd love to explore offbeat places and local experiences that most tourists miss.

We're looking for recommendations on:

  • Hidden gems around Srinagar
  • Scenic drives and lesser-known villages
  • Beautiful meadows, lakes, waterfalls, and viewpoints
  • Easy to moderate day hikes or treks
  • Local cafés and authentic Kashmiri food
  • Places with fewer crowds and great photography opportunities
  • Any unique experiences that locals would recommend

Since we'll have our own car, we're happy to drive a few hours if it's worth it. We'd also appreciate suggestions on roads to avoid, parking tips, or anything we should keep in mind while driving around the region.

If there are any places that are overhyped and can be skipped, we'd love to know that too.

Looking forward to your suggestions. Thanks!

Guys, I need advice! I’m planning to apply for the BVSc course through PMSSS this year, though it’s delayed for now.

Guys, I need advice! I’m planning to apply for the BVSc course through PMSSS this year, though it’s delayed for now. I have 95% in 12th grade and a qualifying NEET score. What I’m specifically curious about is: will I get a college for BVSc through PMSSS considering my merit? And if I do get a seat, is it worth it in the Kashmir context? What are the career prospects after completing BVSc?
