A KGPian student of a couple of decades vintage writes:

"...Reading your blogs makes me strangely uplifted".

gps: There is nothing strange about it; my blogs are a Celebration of Life, warts and all.

I told him that a Teaching Position at the good old IITs is a "Learning Experience":

This post has been described by the 'strangely uplifted sir' as one of the three best blogs of all time (among 600).
