Max Planck India Workshop

Workshop's Website

This is the first major event that I organised in my life. I would love to give the details but to summarize the efforts of three months and then an event of three days is certainly "lot of work"(haha). I enjoyed being responsible for the event and the many twists and turns that result in organising something like this. This conference was organised under the auspices of the Max Planck Society for furthering scientific co-operation between India and Germany. It was a great conference and the wonders of indian cuisine made the event all the more special. I also took all my colleagues to Prashanti Nilayam which is around 150 Kms from Bangalore on the 1st of April.

Though I was in Bangalore and many of my friends live and work there, I could not meet any of them as the program began as early as 8 am in the morning everyday and ended at around 8 pm in the evening leaving me with an intense desire to hit the sack immediately after the dinner in the nights. I would love to meet them given that we formed bonds of brotherly love for each other when we all studied at Prashanti Nilayam, where Sai Baba, a contemporary spiritual legend in India taught us many invaluable lessons of life.

Why I am not posting so often now?

Lets break ice again..

I am beginning to ask about something I am avoiding these days: blogging. I see my own blog many times each day, thanks to it being my homepage; and I wonder how I can live without updating it at all. As I reflect on the many causes, I still do not exactly discern the main reason.
