The g Quotient is Education and Success
Posted by sachinsharma Aug 20, 2005 03:46 am
satyamvada:

you`re partially true, i wouldn`t say that my knowledge of indian literary tradition is zero, though it`s limited. thanks for the link to the infinity foundation.

delhiwala:

you too are hitting the nail right on the head. glad to see others out there with a similar point of view.

gill saheb

i`m just happy you responded.

Every one doesn`t have the talent to become a scientist, an engineer or a medical doctor. It doesn`t mean that those who do not become scientists are not talented. Diversity is the order of the world and nature. if you`re able to earn your living with honor and do the things which interest you, it`s good. A guy who is good at pure mathematics shouldn`t waste his talent in engineering although it might give him more money.

exactly what i`m trying to say, you just put it more aptly.

irfanhamid

you`re so very right, it is a romantic notion, but from the point of view of a non technical person like myself, romance is the only hope (literally).

thank you also you for that nugget about issac newton.



Fourth Letter to Uncle Sam
Posted by sachinsharma Aug 15, 2005 01:15 am
The sunday times, the Times of India`s sunday edition did a wonderful piece on Manto in yesterday`s paper. After having read these letters again and again it was great to see a photograph of the man himself, seated next to his three young daughters.

His connection with the city of Mumbai is remarkable itself. In his own words, he started dying the moment he left Bombay.

Just another victim of the brutal partition of this sub-continent.



cheers.

Hope springs eternal.
