A few randomly selected blog posts…
Since 2009, our family has been creating videos to welcome the new year. The videos are typically typographical in nature, sometimes including a visual illusion or some kind or the other. So as usual, we have a video for welcome 2016. Shot on our dining...
I had written a response to Mohsin Hamid's The Reluctant Fundamentalist a while ago (read it here). Yesterday, I received a note from Irfan critiquing my take on the novel. This is what he wrote: Punya, I read the novel and it does not seem to me, as you interpret,...
The reductive seduction of other people's problems, Illustration by Punya Mishra Anurag Behar forwarded an article: The Reductive Seduction of Other People’s Problems, which I really think is a must-read for any of us involved in education or development. The...
An update on the ongoing saga of David Jiles, Ph.D. For context see this. (Please note the David Jiles referred to in these posts is NOT Professor David Jiles of Iowa State University and Cardiff University.) I have heard back from some of the websites that had...
Our first family vacation in over three years! New Jersey to visit relatives, Delaware to visit friends, and New York city for the big city excitement! Hectic but great fun. I took over 500 photographs, got back home and deleted around 200 of them - the remaining are...
Sending this note from Purdue University where I am visiting the School of Engineering Education. Had a great dinner last night with Karl Smith (whom I am catching up with after a couple of years) and Johannes Strobel. Karl picked me up this morning and drove me over...
Sandra Sawaya has created a video from photographs taken during our recent sojourn to New Orleans for SITE2013. I think it captures a bit of what we did over there - lots of photos of food and friends, and some presentations. Enjoy.

Paul Morsink & Bakar Razali, two graduate students in our college have been doing this interesting variant of the 60 second lecture. They record short videos of individual faculty members talking about anything that interests them and through that allow viewers to...
Facebook is great phenomenal on socialnetwork. But, What make me little disappointed with FB is their privacy policy. Everything that we upload there will be available for FB even we already close our account. IMO
And I just realized when I re-read this… when I said “sharing” the framework, I meant to add with a stranger (no longer) who I was sharing laptop power with. Nice to have those real human connections interspersed throughout the year.
I have an advantage over you in that Punya Mishra is not really a common name (even in India, where I come from).
…sitting in the back of a TPACK talk at NECC before Judi Harris & Mark Hofer begin… as I was sharing my level of familiarity with the framework (no expert for certain) I mentioned your name (along with Matt). So that led me to check your blog… and that led me to your Facebook post… and that led me to search for mine… and that led me to try to get “seannash”… and since I failed at that, I added *nashworld* because, as always, it WAS available… and though I can multitask like a monkey, they’re starting to talk… i’ll shut up now but thanks for the reminder… at least i scored my goofy “brand”…
Cheers 😉
