Matthew, I see that you are U of R alumnus, Me and my wife Usha also got degrees there, 1974 to 1980. When were you there ??? Just curious

Thanks for endorsing me for Management Of Outside Counsel! It appears that our periods of attendance at the U of R overlap, as I graduated with a BA in Art History in 1977 — albeit beyond my best education being life itself, I found too many professors more interested in their agendas rather than those of their students! The horrific weather did not help matters, either! Nor, did the fact that the most “popular” student on the River Campus was a drug dealer! Frankly, the U of R I believe is better known for its graduate programs.
Be well and stay safe!
Yours,

Hmmm.. Yes, Okay, Thank You. I was in the graduate program, Physics and Math, my wife was transfer-student from India for undergraduate, then did 3-2 program for MBA also. We lived in GLC Graduate Living Center and University Park apartments Yes, the weather, biting cold and lots of snow, was also new to us, coming from southern India, besides the then common "culture shock", and we braved it all, of course. Nowadays, culture shock is not there or much, much, smaller, so not usually talked about. It is a different world, we might say. Best Wishes.

HAPPY TO READ YOUR EXCELLENT POST, ALSO, PLEASE HELP, seeking suitable bride for son Kavuraj, both sons future POTUS
my comment there on your post =
Yes Sir. Ramveer Tanwar (Pond Man), you have an EXCELLENT point, and it is time to introduce these ideas for recycling on much stronger footing than is currently done, and make the possible material gains, precious resources also in the process, in addition to the much-needed cleanliness, health considerations. One way would be to start fresh new entire Department devoted to Recycling related discipline in educational institutions so that there is much focused study, research, application in these areas. All the Best. Good Luck. Do Well. Be Brave. Be Wise. Take Care. Best Wishes. Aummm.. Laws also can be re-done to encourage manufacturers to invest in related recycling units in ways reducing negative impacts on them.

Me (to Bidyut Sarker):
Thank You, good info. Yes, deep-rooted beliefs, attitudes in us that common people need to believe that leaders are perfect, no blemishes or black spots or weaknesses etc, and it comes from past history with the king being considered as the representative of God, and the Deep State intelligence etc working hard to maintain or manufacture such image, in good or bad ways, can be hidden, invisible to public.

i also added = Ramveer Tanwar, My guess is that for the best results, each type of waste product will need to be handled in its own way, like dis-assembly first, and then send the different parts from it to several different recycling centers, where different industries can invest collaboratively etc. = Much room for pioneering, leadership type effort in the recycling related works, which you have also mentioned. GREAT, new jobs too

As my Supervisor Dr T K Srinivas at AT&T Bell Labs mentioned, in the months leading to my being fired from my job there, "Perception is More Important than Reality". I had asked him what was going on, like they are working on my patent (his answer = No), he had also said "why you look like that?", "you must be under lots of stress". "what you are is what matters, not what your intention" etc during those days. His responses, good real info, & ALL HELP there deeply crucial, hugely helpful, to analyze, to understand our situation, to move forward. He helped greatly with HATCC temple efforts also. My huge gratitude to him.
Our many thanks, regards, namaskaars-praNaams and best wishes to Sir Shree Dr Tanjore K Srinivas avarugaLu Ji Sir and all family, also to others involved, helping, supporting, well-wishing etc

What field are you in?😂(Edited)
Thirumala Raya Halemane (He/Him) 10:37 PM
Me:
My degrees are in physics and math, several computer science courses also but did not get any degree in it, a mini-MBA is also there. i have worked as scientist and engineer, also in college teaching, a bit in school teaching as well, and tutoring. So, it si kind of miscellaneous field, we can perhaps say

Sorry. I read your story and it seems to make too many things seem unreasonable. I guess you're using LinkedIn as a platform to vent.

Not at all And you? How was your day? What did you do?
Thirumala Raya Halemane (He/Him) 8:43 AM
Me:
I understand "venting" and its de-stressing benefits instead of the harm stress does if internalized, especially when stress is caused because of friction with power over which you have no ways to fight back and redeem yourself or what you feel is rightfully yours. However my approach to such situations is, and has been, somewhat different than what we may see around often or usually. I follow what we call as dharma, swa-dharma for me, and so far I have been fully satisfied in doing so, etc, although others may think I have been somewhat stupid in not being able to advance higher according to their sense of success etc. If so, then, so be it. I am not going by those measurements.
Thirumala Raya Halemane (He/Him) 1:55 PM
Me:
Vicky, am I making sense when I say the above, doing swa-dharma as the guide for my perspectives and actions ??? Please feel free to ask any question, then I can try to say it better,

However, even then, I needed to "handle" brick-bats or stones or balls or arrows thrown at me from different directions, whether deliberately or induced or influenced or inevitably due to past history or manufactured or other types etc. And, as I wrote to my elder brother years ago, (maybe 1990s), I learnt to "move" rapidly, in my thinking, from one level to another, thus reducing the stress on myself, not willing to shoulder any more responsibility than I had to as my individual self only if that was needed, because I saw that various people, including family, friends, others, had their own expectations about me, what I should be doing etc, and like every person, I have my different roles, like being a son, a brother, a husband, a father, a relative, a friend, a neighbor, a community member, a student, a teacher, an employee, a citizen, etc etc, and we all have to "handle" our duties and responsibilities for all the roles we are in, to whatever extent we can, with all the pluses, minuses, limitations, biases, desires, egos, arrogances, others helping, others hurting etc, all included, trying to do the best we can, = and that's all we can do, not everything is in one person's hand or ability.
