Meeting with Uttam Kumar

You will remember Uttam Kumar, our MES Mate of B.com 1978.  Uttam currently lives in Sydney, Australia. During his recent visit to India, we five of us (uttam +w, Sudi+w&son, Sankarnarayan, Manjunath, self)had a nice dinner at the Kamat Yatri nivas.

No doubt while you were at MES, despite the blood oaths you swore at the time, you will have completely lost touch with all your class  friends and only just barely remember their insulting nicknames.  
At the first meeting with my MES friends last year, I was confused as to what should i talk. Now I have got a stragegy as follows.......Unless they know that you know what they know that you don't know that they know what you know about why they know about when they knew who they knew. I'm sure that won't come up. 


So lie.

Does adversity make us stronger

Experience  suggests that resilience is stronger in peoploe who have faced adversity in the past as it does with who they are — their personality, their genes, for example — or what they’re facing now. 

By Adversity is what i  mean is the number of life blows a person has taken that may affect his or her mental toughness more than any other factor. 

Adversity gives us strength to face bad times  ie one  who has experienced setbacks in life. 

Honestly, if you wish to to know the art of living,  make use of suffering.

Never let the future disturb you.  You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.  ~Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
