I was at the college yesterday and came up to you for an autograph before the press conference. I told you about my blog and how the first post has been inspired by your book Second Thoughts.<BR/>I just wanted to say that the speech you gave was brilliant. It was like having my thoughts and principles being voiced without having to open my mouth. It is what my parents (esp. my mother) have taught me as well.<BR/>And in regards to your dislike for the word "conform," it makes a lot of sense to me.<BR/>It's the same reason why my parents have home-educated me and my siblings for the past 6 years. We're homeschoolers.<BR/>I'll probably face a lot of flack for this, but my mother has no faith in the Indian education system.<BR/>And we're not afraid to say it.<BR/>I hope you have the time to read my blog and I definitely hope you enjoyed your stay here!<BR/>It felt great to meet you!Noopur Vasurajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11314573035758748908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-20377972075463986962008-09-22T09:45:00.000+05:302008-09-22T09:45:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Noopur Vasurajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11314573035758748908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-37320165906413320422008-09-22T03:06:00.000+05:302008-09-22T03:06:00.000+05:30Karan Johar took an entire morning to figure out h...Karan Johar took an entire morning to figure out how to pronounce 'couture'!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>Naaah!

Did comment once if I am not wrong. <BR/><BR/>We still refer it as Bangalore. Like few Mumbaikars prefer saying Bombay still. Once long back I did a small survey amongst friends and colleagues on what they prefer. Mumbai or Bombay and Chennai or Madras. Majority went with Mumbai and Chennai respectively. And now when it dawned on us we prefer Bangalore.. Haha. Such is the irony. <BR/><BR/>Anyways, Welcome To B'lore. Climate is awesome at present.
