Attended the Conference. Met up with the cool IITM guys, who went on to CMU also, sans any bonds. Was inspired by their growth.
One of those guy took me for lunch, waited until the guy served my food, and then left to find his own. this small act of kindness was good to the soul.
At the conference venue, I felt a little le(f)t out.
Commented this on a friend's blog in response to a post on 'Homosapiens' book: I read this book over a period of 4 months - the longest I lingered on a
book, no wonder. Was stuck by the evolution of the landscapes, human
dynamics, time and cultures. I felt we are currently living in the
uninteresting times - and the fact that the world has seen several
millions of us in the past humbled me to a large extent: Pondering
deeply, eons ago, man invented the first scientific breakthrough: fire
and subsequently wheel. But who invented fire/wheel? We don't know. In
the grand scheme of things, "you" and "me" are immaterial - only the
"we" survives. I have become less anxious after the discovery :) (Not
that I was super anxious before, either). So, spirituality (Which
essentially is another dimension of science) is also inter-related with
politics :)
It is a beautiful beautiful world. I am completely mesmerized by the intricacies. Lots of love!
