    Pastrami is funnier than you.."I always think my closest friends and family are a bunch of self-serving pigs having their own agenda. My life is full of influence and delusion." -- What is this disease called? Can Pastrami reply to this comment??

    Here is the link to the Reith Lecture Series - they also have the transcripts of the talks, in case you're not the aural sort.

    For a moment that got me confused. I thought you were telling the reader that vilayanur ramachandran was pastrami
    Actually for more than a moment.I was wondering how an invetment banker had time to do all this in addition to meeting you regularly for dinner

    Then I noticed the comma.

    stumbled into this while bloghopping..

    this was amazing..

    it was not just the content that was mind boggling, but the way he presented it. do you notice how he is so fluent and coherent? what does it take, to have ones thoughts flow so effortlessly into words?

    thanks for the link Sidin.

    Excellent presentation- here's a guy who obviously knows what he's talking about. And instantly, being a narrow-minded, regionalistic pig, I think, "Yay! He's from Chennai! He's Tamil! He's one of Us."
    Btw, nice work on the blog in generale. One of the few near-flawless blogs I've stumbled upon, in all my years of blog-stumbling; link supplied by a close friend, God bless him.
    Are you still a student of IIM-A? I'm at XL, perhaps I could pop up down there sometime, take a pic with you and then show off on my blog. :-/
