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 real 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 student 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 student 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.
