Dots connected at Pune Mandi

I salute the education capital of India for supplying her with intellectually, socially nourished distinguished stars from Vinoba Bhave to Baba Amte, to the land that gave birth to India's ever glowing beacon of hope and darling choice of every engineer, Infosys.
Pune has always been special in some way or the other. Pune has this rawness that makes me like it very very much. It is neither too urbanized nor is it too villagish... it has this half raw-half bakedness which woos me always..

Enterpreneurial Education (Mandi-an initiation) Talk-cum-Workshop

"Every single species except human beings make their own food!!!.. What a shame.."
Journeying Mumbai-Pune Expressway has always been fun, 17th April was even more special because coupled with the journey experience, I'd was talking and introducing "entrepreneurial education", a thing that is so badly needed in our Indian education.. oops.. rote-text setups.
I was fortunate to accompany Prof.Prasad.. the architect of Mandi at NITIE to Lotus Business School(LBS) in Pune for this talk-cum-workshop on entrepreneurial education which acts as initiation .. in a similar manner in which it is practiced among Hindus...Mr.Shivprasad, a wonderful and enterprising faculty at LBS was our host for our stay and took all possible troubles to make us feel comfortable. 

This post will talk about the entire days happening at LBS and make an attempt to draw insights from the same.

Dots at TEDxMumbai

"The more the I learnt, the more I learn about my smallness.
I learnt that I was a dot, and I always will be one.
A line takes two dots. This line is small part of a circle.
Viola!! There is just enough space for me to fit in make a circle"

This post is a way to let the tingling sensations the the back of my mind.. I've put in my diary the things that I learnt at TEDxMumbai, and people whom I met, but I want others to know about them and get connected. As Steve Jobs says "It is all about connecting the dots".
