The Life and Works of Prof. R.L. Kashyap
An adage from the ageless store of Indian wisdom tells us that in life we finish our apprenticeship at 50 years and then become adults. We only take up our life's work and real mission when we attain 80. And we leave the earth finally with the rounded and satisfied fullness of 100 years, "reveling in the rapture,' as Sri Aurobindo would translate a Vedic phrase. Always early, adept, and never unpunctual, our dear RLK took up the real charge of his life's work decades before reaching his eightieth birthday. Thriving treasures now invite us to celebrate the rare richness he manifests upon earth.
Great Moments
We have seen people often making the statement, ‘That one moment made the difference in my life.’ There are moments in one’s life which have made a big positive impact on the individual and on the people associated with that person. There are other moments which add to the positive impact of earlier moments. There are moments which did not make any impact on the individual and just passed off unnoticed. Maybe we can call these as neutral moments. People also experience moments which created some negative impact. The great moment was the one when you took ‘that’ decision which turned out to be the best decision. It changed your life and made enormous changes for the people associate...
Conversations@Corporate
This is a collection of writings based on the conversations happening in corporate premises. In my profession as an Engineer, I had a long tenure in the public sector like Bharat Electronics Ltd, and then at a few multinational companies like Alstom, HCL Perot and Oracle. I was active in the PMI Bangalore chapter and even served in the managing committee as Director for one year, this gave me another view of the corporate culture. I had the opportunity of interacting with thousands of people of divergent culture and background, interacting with many other corporate was part of job at Oracle also and that provided many more opportunities to meet a variety of people.

Future of Coal in India
Mark Twain observed, “I'm in favour of progress; it's change I don't like.” Coal dominates Indian energy because it’s available domestically and cheap (especially without a carbon tax). If the global focus is on the energy transition, how does India ensure a just transition? Managing winners and losers will be the single largest challenge for India’s energy policy. Coal is entrenched in a complex ecosystem. In some states, it’s amongst the largest contributors to state budgets. The Indian Railways, India’s largest civilian employer, is afloat because it overcharges coal to offset under-recovery from passengers. Coal India Limited, the public sector miner that produces 85% of dome...
Evolution and Memory
As Dr. Gattegno wrote The Science of Education treatise, he delved deep into the root of learning. This journey took him into the brain, through the ages, and caused him to greatly consider evolution and human potential. He put some of his findings aside for use in this book. Scientists of education may find this slim volume indispensable for their study of memory and its place in our ways of educating the young. "Looking at all the references made to evolution in my writings on education over 30 years, I now find here and there a link of what is cardinal in this book: that individuality is the key to understanding evolution." - Caleb Gattegno
