Question

Today I am going to share with you some of my life lessons.I learned these lessons in the

context of my early career struggles, a life lived under the influence of sometimes

unplanned events which were the crucibles that tempered my character and reshaped my

future.

The first event occurred when I was a graduate students in control theory at the

Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur. At Breakfast, on a bright Sunday morning in

1968, I met a famous computer scientist who was on sabbatical from a well- known US

university. He was discussing exciting new developments in the field of computer science

with a large number of students, explaining how such developments would alter our

future. He was articulate, passionate and quite convincing.I was hooked .I went straight

from breakfast to the library, read four or five papers he had suggested, and left the

library determined to study computer science. When I look back at that pivotal meeting, I

marvel at how one role model can alter the future of a young students for the better. This

experience taught me that valuable advice can sometimes come from an unexpected

source and chance events can sometimes open new doors.
