Election Time

Election tamasha is on for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. In Bangalore it's on 23rd April. There is virtually no new idea from anyone, though it seems like a few professionals and intellectuals have joined the fray this time. That's a good sign.
The other tamasha is that of IPL, cricket played in 20 overs each, just right for today's age. Total of about 3 hrs, just about Ok for our low spans of attention. The first two matches brought unexpected results, with Bangalore and Hyderabad actually winning! Great for the game of 'glorious uncertainties', as Lala Amarnath used to say on radio before TV took over commentary.
We have a faculty workshop coming up for our faculty at Yercaud this weekend. This will be interesting, as we will debate teaching-learning innovations and some other fundas like the changing role of a faculty member at a Business school.
