Being a part of the MIT community meant so much to my father. For 27 years, starting even before I was born, he devoted his life to academia and this intellectual community. He loved it so much that he wanted me to attend MIT for undergrad, and when I chose to attend Wellesley College instead, he would introduce it as “MIT’s sister institution, Wellesley.” continue reading the Memorial Speech

Five Reasons to Update Your Blog

deccan — Thu, 03 May 2007 02:41:49 +0000

1. Be active–one post a day keeps the doctor away;
2. Be reading (at least surfing the blogs) to write;
3. You may write on any topic, not just about Pamela Anderson, Shilpa Shetty, Monica Lewinski, , ETC. And, if your friends Care they will anyways come and taste your recipes, jokes, or dumbest messages that you are forwarding from someone;
4. May be you are not as creative as Einstein, Galileo, Edison, Darwin; but if you have a blog (and update regularly) you are then making history, and tomorrow’s global historian, in most likelihood, will record you as one of the prime movers and shakers of 21st century;
5. Blogging is like addiction, albeit without, side effects. Keep up blogging and the blogosphere needs you more than Bill and Gates.

Much more sound and fury
