Day 2 ended with my meeting KHari (aka Chairman) and Rags (aka Chore) – two BITS batchmates, whom I hadn’t met in almost 18 \/ 20 years. It was great catching up with them – but what that meant was that by the time I got back to my room I was totally exhausted and didn’t get to work on my workshop…
\n
\nI was up at 5 AM (a legacy of jetlag and a terrible habit that I really need to break) and worked till around 8 on my workshop. After that I had a series of meetings – the most important of which was with KVS (of Azim Premji Foundation). I am really excited about working with them and hopefully we will be able to work it out. I am hopeful. There also some research possibilities with the Quest Alliance (the organizers of the conference), and positive meetings with many other individuals and groups. In fact I have met so many people involved in such interesting projects that I am totally overloaded. I will be posting later about some of these people (with links to their projects if possible]. <\/p>\n
The workshop went well, I think. The group was a bit too large, the time a little too short – so I had to resort to more lecturing than the kinds of small group hands-on stuff I would prefer to do. But I claim that constraints lead to creativity – I have no cause to complain \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
