After coming to IIT M I have given my heart and soul not to miss an EML(Extra Mural Lecture). I can`t express in my words how much I get inspired each time I attend an eml .
A friend asks me "What do you get by attending an Eml ?doesn`t it matter to you even if you waste your time listening to the fool coming and speaking whatever comes to his mind?"
Dear friend ,Yes it matters .My Time is valuable ,so is the case with the speaker .The person has been invited to an IIT ,remember.
I can share one thing out my experience I haven`t ever thought that I have wasted my time by attending an EML.It may not bother you but it definitely bothers me if can`t listen to Kiran bedi whom I have been reading about since I was a child. It matters a lot to see Vijay Amritraj who inspired India . And it makes a difference to meet Jai prakash narayan IAS , a role model in my life. It is great to have the gutty Nanditha das between us.The leading economists of India Motek singh Ahluwalia and Y.V.Reddy can never be missed . A moving dictionary Justice Venkatachala can`t be ignored. In addition to all this Saarang and Shaastra provide an opportunity to listen to the greats of the world.One thing I have learnt from the last Eml I attended is that never ever underestimate the speaker by the lack of popularity.Barring carlos ghosn`s Eml to be an NDTV interview I call Sunitha Krishnan`s lecture as the most recent one I have attended and it is indeed the best so far.Even the person with the toughest heart would have shed a tear that day.
In addition to all this there is always NSS which calls great speakers. In fact they called JP. And Refections is doing a good job.VSC is always there but I rarely attend their sessions.
I would rate the EML`s in this order
Sorry ,friends my mind is not allowing me to rate.Each of the EML is special in its own way .This years EML team is really great ,I know most of them by name but I`m sure only one or two among them at least know my name .Any way you guys rock .As promised in one of my earlier posts I`ll brief Ms.Bedi`s eml.She said that there are 3 M`s governing excellence Mastery in your region,active Membership of a group (society or institute etc.,) ,higher Meaning to life.She directly questioned us what we have contributed to the nation which is paying us a lot.We could n`t answer .I don`t know about others I personally could n`t answer.The poorest of my country is paying me and I`m enjoying here. My mind calmed me down"What can I do I`m still a student".I think Dr.Bedi was reading minds then she quoted the beauty"IF BEING IN IIT YOU DON`T,THEN WHO WILL?" .
If you don`t then who will?
Yes Abhinay if you don`t then who will .Any way , it was memorable to be with the dynamic lady for few hours .
Folks Abhinay is not so busy now the next post will follow soon It`s gonna be on my favorite networking site.Ya if you are in 21st century you got it right Twitter Meri Jaan
