ON > SATURDAY NIGHT, THEY ARE HAVING A BANQUET!!! smiles!! To tell the truth, a combination of age and Advaita have made me lose interest in the opposite sex. Not that I am becoming interested in my own either... It's all dissolving into a dream. Once you get addicted to peace of mind, everything else is so much trouble. Actually, I'm rather glad I still have my freedom. However, I still love beauty ... not the same as lust. This whole conference should be really good. There is a cornucopia of intriguing abstracts. I was going to read my paper verbatim, then I had a flash of inspiration and realized viewgraphs would be better. Reading from a paper will bore people, and with viewgraphs, the main points are outlined and one can easily skip material if time is running out. (You see, as an engineer, I assumed that viewgraphs were only for technical presentations.) I've heard Sadaji before, and he is a really good public speaker. It will be interesting to meet other members from this list, though I expect some frowns in my general direction. Not that I care. That too is a dream... Hari Om!
