@AdityaShips I'm not a technical guy and don't know about coding and system design but have an idea. Would it still be possible for me to create an app using Cursor or some other code generating AI and release it?

If not what would I learn to do?

உள்ளுவதெல்லாம் உயர்வுள்ளல் விடாது துரத்தும் உன் நிழல்;
உன் நிழலுக்கோ நீ எங்கு செல்வாயோ என்று உன் உள்ளத்திற்கோ நாம் போய் சேருவோமா என்று; உள்ளத்தையும் நிழலலையும் சேர்ப்பது முயற்சி அவ்விரண்டையும் ஒன்றுசேற அழைத்துச் செல்வதே விடாமுயற்சி!

@vfsglobalcare I'm not able to reschedule my appointment because the system doesn't allow me to do it before 2/3 days of appointment. That's why I'm cancelling it.

On the Ashoka WhatsApp group there is a discussion on the convocation speech and what kind of convocation speakers we should look for. Most people are posting videos of commencement speakers from US universities.

I posted the following message

👇

A random thought on convocation speeches.

We want a convocation speech that is slick. One that is delivered by a speaker in polished sophisticated English. With the right accent using the right words.

The convocation speaker in my graduating class at IIMA was V Krishnamurthy. Chairman of SAIL. He said all the right things but guess what - thirty four years out I don’t remember a word of what he said and I don’t think what he said made any difference to the lives of any of my classmates. That speech did not change anyone’s behaviour or influence any of the choices we made in our lives.

However I vividly remember remember the speech made by the chief guest at IIMA in the previous year. Being in the junior batch I was not invited to the event so along with several others from my class I watched the function from the first floor of the building on the side.

The chief guest was Dr Verghese Kurien Chairman NDDB.

He was not polite. He was downright rude. He was condescending. He was sarcastic. He was caustic. He was insulting. He spoke a few home truths to the graduating class. He taunted us.

He opened by congratulating the graduating class. He then said that this is not the Indian Institute of Management. This is the Indian Institute of Management for Shampoo Salesmen. And that the entire graduating class could now look forward to a life where they spend their time selling soap and shampoo. For that is the limit of our aspiration and ambition he said. We just wanted to work for Multinational Corporations peddling their wares to Indian consumers. Such a collosal waste of talent he called it. And throughout his speech he repeatedly used the term “shampoo salesmen” derisively to describe the graduates of IIMA.

He challenged us to do something more meaningful with our lives and try and make a difference.

But then he lamented that his words were going to fall on deaf ears and that we would take the safer option.

Now it requires some guts to go as a chief guest to a function and then make a 30 minute speech berating and insulting your hosts. But that was Dr. Verghese Kurien. In your face. Blunt. Calling a spade a spade.

By the end of it our ears were burning.

But guess which speech we remembered.

And Some of us did do something different.

The class of 1989 has produced the most number of entrepreneurs in the history of IIMA.

Sometimes warm fuzzy convocation speeches don’t make lasting impact.

Money needs to be enjoyed. But upgrade your lifestyle only after you become financially confident of not getting downgraded again.

Being rich is a material show off like pricey watch, designer clothes, costliest car, property assets, etc.

Being wealthy is a natural show off like a beautiful smile, warm hand shake, a deep conversation, freedom.

Life is all about live, love, laugh, celebrate, travel, enjoy.

The Chola empire was probably the largest, most enduring and influential of all the empires of India, spreading far across the seas in a vast maritime expanse. Its culture was equally vast with many great temples and extensive trade.
