[Assam] Harvard/MIT/Wharton classmates: Initiating startups
Hi, Just now I was looking up some old classmates' professional profiles on Linked In - now that we are becoming wired - old faces, long lost or deliberately hidden from view are coming to the fore - unable to resist the network. The world has become flat. Found that two of my high school classmates just finished their MBAs from MIT's Sloan and Upenn's Wharton respectively - great friends from old times. The MIT grad in Cambridge area during the same time I was studying at Harvard. The Wharton grad was a surprise -seeing that he had been in the US since 1993 (for MS) and suddenly decided to go for MBA from top school. They both joined MBA programs in the same year (2004) and graduated the same year (2006). Both are President/CEOs of their US based companies or something like that. Thats quick. Coming from a small town I can relate to their experience that friendship matters a lot - peer learning and peer pressure create bonds and cohesion and competitiveness. Here is a company founded recently, a startup - I happen to know one of the senior guys (as I mentioned). http://www.internationalgrowth.com/index.html The concept could be replicated by Many qualified Assamese professionals in the US (we have amongst us the Dean of Kellog Business School, etc etc) Umesh Sharma Washington D.C. 1-202-215-4328 [Cell] Ed.M. - International Education Policy Harvard Graduate School of Education, Harvard University, Class of 2005 http://www.uknow.gse.harvard.edu/index.html (Edu info) http://hbswk.hbs.edu/ (Management Info) www.gse.harvard.edu/iep (where the above 2 are used ) http://harvardscience.harvard.edu/ http://jaipurschool.bihu.in/ __ Not happy with your email address?.

Re: [Assam] [Assam Society] Re: [NorthEastIndia] Re: Grumbling GAME-Swapnil Bharali (Horizon, The Assam Tribune, July 05, 2008)
Hello everyone, Such a group, whose members seek fame and recognition, exists everywhere, doesn't it? Take Assam, your home town, your family, your extended family, your work place; such a group exists everywhere. However, I think the comment is unfair if members of such a group are also doing something to back up their words, such as contributing money to worthwhile causes, starting libraries in Assam, taking leadership in organizing the community here or elsewhere, developing solutions for flood relief or proposing a better educational system, etc. The criticism can be considered fair only if the author can identify people who are just talking, but not doing anything at all. There are all kinds of people in the world; some work silently without seeking praise and recognition; some others seek recognition for their work---these are the folks that normally become known faces and go up the ladder in politics, academia, industry, everywhere. Thus, there is nothing wrong in seeking name recognition, if it is backed up by work that is commendable. If someone wants to rise in society, that someone has to seek recognition; usually recognition is not heaped upon people. We have untold examples of people who are hard-working and are doing work, but only some get the recognition they deserve.

Quoting Ankur's mail's last para : Your attempt to portray all NRA as a grumbling group is highly objectionable, unethical and unfortunate. Quoting Swapnil's article : 1. Among these admirable NRAs, however, are a handful of people who I honestly find brazenly meddlesome. 2. This pretentious eagerness of a handful of NRAs who seem to love hearing their own voices when airing their expert solutions publicly in Assam is irksome for a layman like me. So, as I perceive this, Swapnil is not talking about the entire NRA community but a handful of them ... can any of us convincingly say that such a group doesn't exist? I guess not. Its up to us to decide whether we belong to that group. If we don't, we need not be upset with this write-up at all and if we do, than the message is loud and clear ... Stop being meddlesome and Walk the Talk.

In your article, you are depicting the NRA as self centered lot; a group of pound sterling/dollar earning people who while showing their concern for the motherland, only indulge in debating, quarreling and grumbling. To buttress your views you are referring to the internet discussion forum called Assam Net and your interaction with a few NRI in the late nineties. It seems that you are making a conclusion based solely on this vague and sketchy informative. While portraying the Assamese expatriates as empty, exaggerated talker, you are concluding your piece with a quote of Clark Gable from Gone with the Wind!!.

[Assam] School psychologist’s role in grooming children
THE ASSAM TRIBUNE : August 8, 2008 School psychologist’s role in grooming children stressed Staff Reporter GUWAHATI, Aug 7 — In the United States of America (USA) if a child fails to make progress and faces difficulties in the classroom, the school system is duty bound to find out the reasons of such difficulties, said Rani Dutta Choudhury, a senior school psychologist with the Berkeley High School, Berkeley, California. She was delivering a lecture on the role of the school psychologist at the Axam Jatiya Vidyalaya, Noonmati on Tuesday. Also a translator of repute, Dutta Choudhury, who translated a number of Shilabhadra short stories in to English with much acclaim, said that it is the job of the school psychologist in the USA to do the psychological testing of such students. The testing is a comprehensive process involving IQ tests, tests to measure social and emotional status of the child and tests to see if any specific learning problems are hindering the progress of the child. Another professional called an Educational Diagnostician does testing to measure the child’s achievement level in reading and mathematics. The data concerning all these tests are recorded and a rational conclusion is tried to be arrived at to know the cause of problems troubling the child concerned in the classroom. The results of the tests determine whether the child requires special education, which is called a safety net for the children who are not succeeding in the regular classroom. It brings together the resources and special help necessary for the child to succeed. If a child is proved to be suffering from either of learning disabilities, autism or severely impaired social skills, health impairments and emotional disturbances or from more of these afflictions, and individual education plan is drawn up to meet the specific needs of the child. Besides this main duty, the school psychologist has other responsibilities as well. The school psychologist is a counsellor when the need arises with the troubled children. The school psychologist is a consultant who keeps the teachers abreast of the latest breakthroughs in education. Also, he or she is a liaison to the school and Government agencies and so on so forth. The focus is always on the student and how to help them succeed, said Dutta Choudhury. The lecture was organised by the Friends of Assam and Seven Sisters (FASS) and the teachers of the Jatiya Vidyalaya attended it with avid interest, said a press release bamboo.jpg___ assam mailing list assam@assamnet.org http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
