Wednesday, November 17, 2010. A school system of my dreams . While wandering (not aimlessly) in the wonderland of WWW, I ran into Joseph Weizenbaum's (The ELIZA creator) thoughts (from 1985) about problems with educational establishment. Read them here. First My modest observation has been that they are applicable today just as well. Paraphrasing him (bold casing mine):. Q: What are the problems of the educational establishment? A: The first priority. And the third, very close to the second. In part, thi...

Tuesday, September 23, 2014. How Kids Teach Adults . I consider myself an observing, learning adult. Thus, I make mistakes, observe consequences and make amendments if I am able to overcome the prejudice (and maybe fear). The bad thing then is that I am vulnerable to making mistakes. The good thing however is that I have a chance to improve (when measured in some objective way). Overall, life is good! A central tenet of the environment that is conducive to such learning is, of course, Freedom. Baba: "Wel...

Thursday, August 02, 2012. We, the People . OK, this is one of those extempore posts, and yes, it comes after a long time. I felt if I did not do it soon enough, I'd probably never do it. It was a busy Thursday morning like any other. Many tasks, TBD's running down my mind. I was dropping off my daughter at her school. And as it often happens, I was Multitasking. After dropping her off in her room, I saw a teacher from that school, Ms. Gina. She was parking her motorbike! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Thursday, December 23, 2010. A Modern Indian Miracle? So, here is a little quiz for all of you:. What Indian Entity (village, city, district) has the highest GDP in the country? Nope, it is not a city. These honors are claimed by a small village. In the state of Maharashtra. Its name is Hivre Bazar. The village has a very good website.

Saturday, October 30, 2010. Serendipity may find you . Quite brilliantly, Paul Buchheit wrote. You I think it may. The definition of the word (the claimed origin. Of which is itself fascinating) makes the word a matter of chance. One cannot count on making rich discoveries by chance. Being able to plan to make to such a discovery appears more scientific. Making such discoveries depends on one's nature. A very good friend of mine for instance, hates. She says, to an extent, making rich discoveries by bein...

Saturday, February 01, 2014. The life came back to normal. Perhaps it had to. The complainers were pacified one way or the other. The train reached its final destination. Clear skies, fresh breeze and joyful city life greeted me. I biked to work and resumed my daily activities almost as if nothing untoward had happened. Yes, the show had to go on. Someone has said, "Death is a part of life, not the the end of it." Why is it then that this experience makes me pause and reflect? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Thursday, November 06, 2014. Once in a while, you become emotional, you feel like crying. Later on, you may think you were being irrational then. So what? It is better to cry, the psychology research has shown and we'd have cried even if that were not the case. Death is a part of life, not the end of it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
