Ashin Das Gupta (not Chaudhuri) was my tutor in College, as well as being the History head. My guru parampara is Kuruvilla Zachariah->Sushobhan Sircar->Amalesh Tripathi/Ashin Das Gupta. However, my interest in maritime history is only partly based on Ashin's work. Independently, I have been reading and exploring maritime history issues, and have written about it in professional journals. I have come to form some surprising hypotheses, and want to research things further to come to a conclusion about these. > > On Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 8:46 PM, Bonobashi > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > --- On Sat, 15/11/08, Udhay Shankar N > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > From: Udhay Shankar N <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > Subject: [silk] When I Have The Time > > > To: "Silk List" > <silklist@lists.hserus.net> > > > Date: Saturday, 15 November, 2008, 10:36 AM > > > Mohit (मॊिहत) wrote, [on 11/15/2008 > 9:05 AM]: > > > > > > > I need to learn how to use chopsticks...and > > > swimming...and > > > > dancing...and smiling while stabbing > someone. > > > > > > That reminds me of all of the various things that > I will do > > > When I have > > > The Time (small unrepresentative sample follows) > > > > > > * Masters degree in cryptography > > > * Learn Perl > > > * Find those treasured old college ripped jeans > and lose 2 > > > inches around > > > the middle so I can wear them, dammit > > > * Krav Maga > > > * Finish off my TBR pile (~200 books at last > count) > > > * Get back to reasonable fluency in French > > > * Meet up with all the several dozen friends with > whom my > > > primary > > > interaction these days is occasional phone calls > saying > > > "we MUST meet" > > > > > > Share yours, o wise ones? > > > > > > This has the makings of a[nother] monster thread. > > > > > > Udhay > > > > * Get my Master's degree in History; > > * Write the definitive maritime history of India; > > * Re-learn German; > > * Learn French and Sanskrit; > > * Tour those corners of India that I haven't > seen yet, on my own set of > > rough-roading wheels; > > * Go to Leh by road, and bum around Ladakh for as > long as I can afford > > (two days, at present levels); > > * Lose 20 kgs.; > > * Photograph Calcutta before it auto-destructs; > > * Try to understand the different Indian > philosophical schools; > > * Try to understand Economics (if it's really > possible; sometimes it > > seems to be something that Economists invented to keep > themselves in an > > occupation not to be described as idling their time > away); > > * Learn to ride a motor-cycle; > > * Complete my collection of Western classical music; > > * Listen to as much jazz as I can; > > * Travel through Cambodia (without losing limbs, it > is to be hoped); > > * Travel through Scandinavia, and the Baltic states; > > * Backpack through Africa, and South America, and > travel to China and > > Russia (they don't encourage back-packers, it is > said); > > * Scuba-dive at every feasible Indian location; > > * Collect and print my daughter's poems; > > * Find my ancestral village in Bangladesh (there are > two, one easier to > > find than the other); > > * Learn to fly a plane; > > > > I'll be happy to achieve even one of these, any > one. > > > > bonobashi > > > > > > Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!
