India: Little Stories, Big Dreams

Here is the presentation I gave on Aug 15. This presentation has a copyleft licence, which means you can use it as you like and distribute your own version with modifications. A link to the licence is on the first slide, which I expect you to preserve when you distribute your modified presentations.

We had a video screening of Infinite Vision on the life of Dr. Venkataswamy. Lots of people were interested in this - if you felt inspired by it, I recommend that you buy the DVD and keep it for days when you feel you need to be uplifted, or take it with you to India and screen it at your alumnus institution.

We distributed Indian Ethos cards at the end for everyone. If you got inspired, please fill it up and get it laminated. Fedex-Kinkos will do it for you on campus. You will be surprised at your power of prophecy. Feel free to pass this on to your friends.

The class we spoke about at Stanford University was Brainstorming India. The first version of the class was taught by Piya Sorcar, Abhishek Bapna, Ashwini Doshi and myself. The second version will be taught next fall. The team will be greatly expanded and Namita Gupta (namita at stanford dot edu) is currently the lead co-ordinator. We will have several non-teaching members in the team to help with the research and organization. Please contact her to find out how you can help.
