    Big takeaway today. Most Republicans don't believe in climate change and carbon emission causing irreversible damage to the climate unless we do something about it quickly. I had a chance to interact with a country club filled with rich Republican community and they are executing a massive scale project that requires enormous amount of power. I am helping a company that sells solution to dynamically manage alternate energy sources with conventional energy to contain cost of power. When I presented a payback period and operational cost savings, the Republican client is ready to buy this solution. Money that is saved through alternate energy sources, despite being against the belief on climate change, doesn't bark. May be that is the way to join the Paris accord again. We need to talk their language and say that cost of use of alternate energy will be allowed to be deducted twice in their tax return. :)

    A long weekend packed with kids activities, competitions and so on. But, I managed to take deep breaths here and there to get going. Mindfulness is the way to go.

    Last night I received an email from the National online teacher who teaches girls in Group IV that she really enjoyed reading my "Circle of influence and its effect in life" modules. She would like to make some edits and with that would like to not only make that program live but also include in the national teachers' manual. The teacher who teaches boys has already approved the modules. I feel extremely delighted to know that I will get more and more opportunity to develop content for these children on different topics which I consider not only as a great learning experience for me but also a service I enjoy like the Hospice service I provide every week. What can be more fulfilling than helping the earlier generation through one service activity and teaching right living to the next generation through another service activity.

    Sun was shining at this part of the world and decided to go with a colleague to get ice cream cone. Enjoyed every bit of it and felt so childish but It was great.

    Day 16: Some retail therapy!
    Day 17: The park with the lake! My stupid staycation is over. I am glad.
    Day 18: An email from an estranged loved one. Not ready for a roller coaster ride that will inevitably end in heartbreak but I responded nevertheless. The email made me bawl but it made my day and my week and my month. Yay for misguided hopes and foolish expectations!

    My son came into my home office and closed the door behind. When I looked at him, I could figure out that he was there to give me a good news. He had been struggling to find a solution to use different fluids in the burner and when he went for a breakfast, he found the solution through a simple equation that he wrote in 5 minutes that would give flexibility for those who use the burner to use fuel viscosity of their choice. His happiness looked like a child with a cotton candy!

    I have been fortunate to be serenaded and impressed by suave men who could juggle arithmetic with ease.

    They would fold off numbers and differentiate and integrate by invoking mathematical trickery in their paperless heads whilst I struggled to recall triumphantly even the foundation theorems. The reason I have always been attracted to men who flirted with numbers is my own inability to comprehend that hokum.

    On our flirtsome and youthful walks, I would often forecast: one day when I have ample time, I will revisit maths. I will relearn maths.

    On being inquired my fancied subject, I would claim history. Mast subject hai! I would pipe up on historical wars and carnage ...to their astonishment that I could be a history junkie over exerting and fulfilling mathematics. I would be heartfelt impressed on their personalized working and understanding of mathematics by multiplying π with a square, that is three times plus of a square always yields a circle ...why should the original shape be a square ..is there any transcendental number when applied to a shape converts into another shape? But a circle can never be squared. I don't get this mathematics.

    I have time now in life.

    I still sustained the desire to relearn mathematics torched by those captivating men and bickering night walks.

    Never realized that life would one day square off into a circle of aspiration transforming into reality.
