Returning to The Fletcher School to deliver the 92nd Commencement Address was more than an honour; it was a homecoming.
I first arrived here in 1975 as a nineteen-year-old from India, curious and uncertain of what lay ahead. Fletcher shaped the way I think about the world and my place in it. To stand before the Class of 2026, fifty years later, as a recipient ifn the school’s highest honour, the Dean’s Medal for distinguished service, was deeply personal.
The world the graduating class inherits is complex and demanding, yet full of possibility. Knowledge alone is not enough. Courage, integrity, and persistence are what will shape what comes next.
My gratitude to Fletcher and my faith in this new generation.
Congratulations, Class of 2026.

I actually hired a Home Manager who is a full-time person who takes care of everything from food planning, wardrobes, repairs, maintenance, Groceries, laundry, etc. Basically, she manages all the house help and service providers and frees up our time.
We needed this because @harshitaiitk and I are both working professionals and don't have time for this. We want our full energy to be focused on building @GreyLabsAI.
The decision has so far been really good - saving us from lots of headache and time.

Hey Kamal Hassan, Did you know that the Manchester University of Britain validated and accepted that Gravity and three laws of motion stated by Newton were first propounded and mentioned in Bharat in Vaishoshik Sutra. Indians passed on this knowledge to Jesuit missionaries reaching India in the 15th century where it filtered to Newton : Dr George Gheverghese of University of Manchester. 💞
