🌈Today is #NationalComingOutDay.

My mother wrote a letter to Indira Gandhi asking for a job after her father died. Some months later she received a reply asking her to come for an interview and she got a job as Mrs Gandhi personal assistant. @manilsuri in conversation with Arsen @boulderbooks @JLFLitfest @JaipurLitFest #JLFCOLORADO

One fall i reread all the 2700 letters I wrote to my mom and it really provided in many ways a historic perspective of my times. @manilsuri spks with Arsen #JLFCOLORADO @jlflitfest

@vijivenkatesh How cute!

[Sanjoy K Roy @SanjoyRoyTWA]

The room was a central identity for the book. While it was a refuge from the toxicity of the neighbors, it was still a place I needed to escape from. @ManilSuri spks to M.Randall O'Wain. @JLFLitfest @JaipurLitFest #JLFUSA #JLFNORTHCAROLINA @TeamworkArts

AI solves a million dollar "Millenium" problem: shows that Navier Stokes equations can develop singularities in finite time. As one of my colleagues said, "Holy Crap!"

Now that I'm retired and don't have to carry my laptop to classes any more, this is how I've repurposed my laptop case. Perfect for AirBnb trips!
