smells like green spirit

so prasanna comes knocking to discuss the developments what with Sonia refusing the PM's post. he believes it is a wise move on her part and that leaves her on a higher moral ground than before. As always, when we get together to chant politics, one topic leads to the other and this time it led to lunch and coffee as well! he, somewhat like me, still has to develop a recurring ideology of his own. I admit ot being left of center and liberal to go with it, but do not discount capitalism altogether as well. prasanna went on to narrate how he has gotten into reading about the history of india and how religions have made their way to waht they are today. so that should be interesting as to what he makes of that string of thought. passionate as he is, and i apprecaite that in him a lot, he suggested we (him me and Minal, for starters) should seriously give a thought at forming a more oragnised platform to address the multitude of concerns (education, environment, poverty, and more) which we always end up discussing about anyways. some more excahnge of ideas led to him proposing that we could maybe focus on the plight of national parks in India. Wow! that spelt action to me. those treasures of our land deserve more than they are being treated to nowadays. Quickly i started to formulate an action plan and he chipped in with his plans (or intended plans) . man, i love such a passionate jugalbandi of ideas. I am really keen on following this up with him and Minal. its a project I am so willing to dive into. already my mind is buzzing with ideas from marketing to simple web-searches to even documentation. thers going to be tons to work on. so for now,( given that I am 8 days away from my masters thesis defense (yea!) and other commitments) we shall meet the 1st weekend in June to kick off our efforts. i see a lot of fun in doing this. ok more on my ideas for our project in later posts. back to PCA on MATLAB now. tch tch.
