Introduction to Ankit
_______________________________________________
Ankit was born in India, but his family had destined his future to be America. Though his friends knew him well, they too considered he was best suited to be there. But Ankit was determined from the beginning, of serving where the need is, rather than serving his life for his own sensorial deeds. It was Swami Vivekananda's speech delivered at Los Angeles, about "Work and it Secret" that kept him motivated towards pursuit of meaning, in his life.

I met Harold, for the first time at his Office on 2024 Monument street, talking to Harold one gets a feeling he is indeed a "deep thinker" as myself, also very smart and honest, like every Jewish Academicians, I met. Indeed there is some magic taking place at Synagogue, that churns out such smart people like himself. Indeed every faith has something to offer for us to learn, and so did my Jewish professor. Whom I dearly respect, but unfortunately, he is still a "Yankee Coward" for me.
In our first meeting, I displayed some of my earlier work using Blogger, and the concept around it, this did impress him and he wanted to see something I do using the same. So I did, and here it is. Thanks for the Advice Harold, and as you use to say during our Seminars.
"Hopkins can lose its donors, but cannot lose its Reputation"
Has kept me motivated, thinking what is Reputation, is it real, or just an illusion, just like the myth of "American Dream". Who am I to tell, all I can say, it was a Nightmare for me, as I understood the very extravagance, pompous display of Johns Hopkins University, was happening at cost of Thousands of Students just like me.
