Day 91


Day 91 (2nd October)

Not a good day because I wasted time. Had pulled out Gandhi’s letters and autobiography, hoping to read some chunks from them. But I barely managed few pages.
At the beginning of every month I get CE magazine in my mail. A small item from this month’s issue caught my eye and set me researching. This is the topic that I wanted to write on. After sitting on the idea for about 6 hours, I mailed my editor contact with a proposal to do a series of articles. Now keeping my fingers crossed for a positive response. So, the day wasn’t a total waste after all.

Day 93

Day 93 (30 th September) The day was consumed in preparing for tomorrow’s class, always a learning experience. Ryder Cup action played out in the background. I look for new things to present and new ways of presenting old things. I have complete autonomy in that I don’t have to follow any set syllabus or a prescribed textbook. Identifying and locating information is the easy part. Presenting them in a lucid way is the challenging part. Sometimes the presentation just assembles itself intuitively.

Day11

Day 11 (21st December)  Mailed the AI column. Looking for a title. Asked twitter, but got no response. I have couple of ideas in mind and will choose one.  Received a proper consulting request. Well more or less. Responded tersely because I am not desperate. Meeting with good friend at a bar that serves exotic craft beers. The place was overrun by women in early 40s celebrating silver jubilee of their class reunion. Almost all of them were surprisingly trim.
