C-da,
I think you are taking a philosophical approach and the practical one most
people take when talking to their children while planning out their careers.
If philosophy is what you want here goes: Swami Vivekanand said : "Education is
what brings out the divinity in man"
Mahatma Gandhi said something similar - about realising who you are and making
you prepared for the life's struggles - or something like that.
Bhagavad Gita 4:34
“Understand that by humble submission, by asking the proper questions, and
through service, you will be taught this knowledge by those who are wise, by

But I will let you all think about it. Perhaps, perhaps, someday, that Harvard
degree of yours will come in handy, to figure things out.

Ofcourse you could have become what you are by going to the local govt engg
college -- and never went to IIT without dreaming of being an IIT engineer. So
also for your Stanford educated daughter - she never dreamed of being there. It
all happened by chance :-)

Umesh's, like so many others' from India, 'dreams' are formed with the
profoundly faulty notion that getting this degree or that or getting a top
ranking in exams. or even getting admitted to this or that institution, is the
END, the GOAL. Education as preparation, just the beginning, and learning as
something more than mere means for a livelihood is an alien idea.
There are a number of reasons how this faulty notion took hold and has not yet
been shaken loose, even amongst those who live in societies where the 'degree
culture' is not pervasive.

[Assam] Fulfilling a dream?
Hi,
I just read a letter (2 pages long -with writings on the side also) from a 69
yearold gentleman who still says (after all these years) that getting into PhD
is a matter of do or die (for me). He was perhpas the only person in India who
really supported my journey westwards and got me involved in fire worship
(yagna) and its benefits amidst chantings - Vedas style.
He took me to Aligarh where his real brother in law led a retired life after 30
years as professor of math at Univ of California , Berkeley (who disuaded me
from going to US) - he had left India to become a professor there directly (not
as a student) after teaching at Aligarh Muslim Univ. Further, this 69 year old
gentleman's real unlce had come westwards as a student and become a professor
at Stanford - as the Berkeley professor attested "His uncle was at Stanford and
I was at Berkeley " (they are just a few miles apart).
Today I bettered my GRE score substantially (unknown to the old man) and walked
back home 2 miles (unlike the last time where I was holed for two weeks in
Allahabad 500 miles from home) -esp the verbal section. I did not prepare at
all -since I have been tutoring these very things .
More later.
