Reflections and inputs from Dr. Jagdish Shukla

In the final program for September 2, you have suggested the possibility of a “share and cherish” session. This is an excellent, but a bit intriguing idea, especially because this group certainly has a collection of wonderful life stories to tell. I would very much like to know about the journey of all our friends. However, wise men have said that the idea of self-expression is somewhat romantic, and therefore, it might not be easy to accommodate all the stories!

I do remember one of our friends wrote a wonderful story about his journey and shared to all of us. It is unlikely that everyone will take time to write their stories. However, it would be really nice if people could send a link to their personal webpages or any other platforms from which we can easily read at leisure. To get the ball rolling, I have given below some links which anyone can read or not read!

If someone has really lots of free time and has nothing better to do, NASA Goddard has a tradition of asking people to give biographical lectures and they make a YouTube video. For some reason, they call it “Maniac Talks,” below is the link for my talk:  https://youtu.be/WcDo49ckokI
