Getting Noticed!

While my friends have complained that my articles of late have been a tad too serious, there has been an unforeseen windfall. The last two articles have been picked up and linked to in other websites. While they may not be some influential journals but then its a good start none the less.

http://www.topix.com/city/orlando-fl/2008/11/state-by-state-info-declare-yourself : The link on Barack Obama connects to my Obama article.

http://www.youthforequality.com/interact-with-us/view-user-posted-article.aspx : Links to my article on reservation.

Yippee!

It doesn’t happen Everyday.

I think I am going to value this mail for a long time to come.

Dear Sayan
I am really very pleased that you took so much care to make this work. I was very apprehensive as I know it is not like a live performance but it is better than nothing and it can be ca 80% of one as the powerpoint should come down quite well. In these days of serious concern for the environment I am sure that what we have just done together will have important impact and that many more scientific initiatives of this kind will take place. I am keen to do something specially for you in the future. I am now committed to exploring the way the Internet may become a major medium of science communication and I am most concerned that we explore ways that it can help to develop global citizenship at a time when nationalism and other racially divisive dogmas are rampant. The only nationalism I consider acceptable is on the Cricket pitch and I am delighted that India and Pakistan got to the final. I am pleased you recognised that there is a team involved and that nothing would have been possible without my friends and colleagues Davis Simpson, Steve Acquah and Colin Byfleet and of course my wife who ensured that the logistics at this end were kept under control. Once again thanks for making this happen and I look forward to future collaborations
Best wishes
