social alchemy - rant

August 7th, 2009

the point of technology and various disciplines of science (hard, soft and gooey) is to ensure the mundane human behavior, interactions, preferences and day2day stuff can yield insights about ourselves and the circles we influence….as companies start to monetize on this, the academia is off doing their one off pursuits within siloed thinking of staying within areas of expertise (within a specific subject (within a specific department (within a specific school)))..
the real transmutation of the massive pile of data from these human, social and group interactions will require marriage of minds, cross-over artists from various disciplines within science and arts and dedicate/inquisitive souls..
there is hope.

Rajeev Motwani dies..very tragic and sudden

June 7th, 2009

Rajeev, as you can read from this article is an amazing inspiration and resource for so many years in the Silicon Valley. He was also one of the peers of my advisor Dr.Ghosh at IITK.
My heart felt condolences to his family - both personal and academic. Rajeev, you will be missed.
