Hello Folks,
These days I have taken on yet another avatar. I have joined the ranks of those that have actually beaten the N+1 Syndrome and returned to India. The reasons for my reverse migration are part-selfish and a tiny bit altruistic - essentially to pursue what I consider my passions. By the way, I have also decided to retire from a structured engineer/scientist career path.
Most of my
thinking is rooted in making India stronger in the face of stiff (and these
days, unfettered, WTO brand) Globalization. This, I envision, will involve (1)
educating the people about it and lobbying our lawmakers and influential people
to better-present India’s case and concerns in world forums such as WTO;
protest, if necessary against unfair world trade practices. (2) to combat
cultural imperialistic implications so that we do not lose our essential
Indian-ness. (3) to make sure our youths have the necessary skill-sets to be
globally competitive; to make sure our economic engines, such as the BPO
operations, run smoothly for a long time and the positive results trickle down
to the poor and (4) to stop the Manufacturing jobs going out of India to other
Asian countries such as China – by teaching and inculcating modern Manufacturing
methods in India. How am I going to work on my ‘passion’? I have no clue. But I
am making tentative attempts.
And
yes, I would also like to keep on
writing!
These days I
live in the Coovum delta region, a.k.a. Chennai, India, drinking South Indian
filter coffee and getting dhoti-trained. I am eminently reachable at the
following phone numbers and email addresses.
