Can there be such a thing as Intelligent Innocence? I am proposing a new concept. Maybe it will catch on, maybe it won't. But 99 percent of product launches fail, so no harm in trying.
Mostly, intelligent people come across as chaalu (Hindi word for cunning, or not straight) in real life. But many scientists, one hears, have been what my term would define, innocent and intelligent. Maybe naive too, but I prefer the word innocent.
There is an added charm when a person is smart but not trying to take advantage of others-particularly the less smart. The opposite can be seen abundantly in life-politics being a prime example, but not the only one. It happens in all fields, to some degree.
Anyway, having proposed it, I will rest a while.. and see if it goes viral.
