It was exhilarating to read the following article in today's TOI -
A Scholarship Website by Students
Back in those days when I was a student at VJTI, I had a much better exposure to students of all the branches as I stayed in the hostel. I recollect now that a sizeable proportion of students who came from different parts of the state indeed needed financial assistance. Finally, hope smiles back at those who deserve :) Der aaye durust aaye... :)

MBA
There are two parallel but converse trends in modern day world. One is making computers more like humans and the other doing conversely. The former is called AI and the later MBA!!

Dadhi mhanala...
A person may have Pradnya (intelligence). A person may have Medha (brilliance) as well - an iota over and above intelligence. But what matters most is Pratibha or creativity - a gift that only rare ones are endowed with.
-- Dadhi, a true Konkani at heart !
P.S.: I wanted to write this piece in marathi. But blogspot/mozilla does not have that provision it seems.

A key aspect of any Bike Rider
The first thing you learn in swimming is to be comfortable with being under water. I think this concept of trivializing the danger doesn't restrict itself to swimming.
With experience, I have realized that I have developed the art of being comfortable (read that as escaping with NO injury - to me as well as my bike - yes, this is possible) with minor accidents. It involves development of your instincts so that you tackle those few D-seconds with such agility and presence of mind, that you drive away after it as if nothing had happened.
Also, with time, you learn to get away with such 'glitches' even in not-so-minor accidents. Errr yes, beyond that............................. better stop thinking like me about driving...... :P

Time
Time is an illusion. The only thing that can be proven with finality to exist is the present moment. Hence essentially, time is the current moment put into an infinite loop of execution. I wonder who decided the time-rate at which the loop executes... :-$
