For good old time’s sake!!
That was four of my colleagues from mid ’90s under one roof! Just like in the ’90s, I did my level best to bring down the average IQ at that table. What if you had overheard what we were discussing? In the ’90s, that table would have been passionately arguing about constrained anchored optimization and supply chain and all that. In the ’00s, we would be probably talking about our new jobs (most of us went our own ways).
Last night, in an indication of how old we have gotten, the topic de jure was meditation versus mindfulness. Don’t ask me how we got into that. But one thing has remained the same over the years. The passion in our articulation!! Although, I think we have become more thoughtful listeners now.
The best quote of the evening came from Magesh: “You can text the text. Now can you talk the talk?”
Thank you Anand, Madhav, Karthik and Magesh for a great throwback to the yesteryears!! I could not have grown up to be whatever it is that I am today without being surrounded by smart folks like you!
I couldn’t have summed it up better. Had a great time!
and I was going to take credit for stepping in to bring the IQ levels to the normalcy. But you beat me to the punch…..:-)
You guys are lucky I was not in town…. someone would have had to post bail!.
