By Prof. Haresh Shah, Stanford University

COEP Foundation’s Silicon Valley Chapter conducts a very interesting series called “WebGuru: COEP Foundation’s Distance Guidance Initiative”. This series basically enables students in Pune (India) to learn more about future career prospects straight from insights and experiences of successful leaders in USA through live video conferencing session.

We inaugurated this series by Prof. Haresh Shah’s talk on “The Mantra of Success”.

About Speaker: Prof. Haresh Shah has been a pioneer in the fields of risk analysis, earthquake engineering, and probabilistic methods for over 35 years. He has served Stanford University in many capacities, including Chairman of the Department of Civil Engineering and Founding Director of the John A. Blume Earthquake Engineering Center. Dr. Shah received a B. E. degree (1959) from College of Engineering, Pune, India, and degrees of M. S. (1960) and Ph. D. (1963) from Stanford University.

Abstract: In the evolving and dynamic global markets and opportunities, it is important for young, ambitious, entrepreneurial, and upwardly mobile students to be well prepared for the opportunities and challenges that they will face. The theme of Prof. Shah’s talk is: “It is far better to be well educated than well trained”. The former option is strategic, the later option being tactical. Prof. Shah will articulate the great but subtle differences between highly educated and highly trained programs for college education. Understanding of the geopolitical changes, the globalize economies, the movement of manufacturing, services, and research jobs between economies, and the role of entrepreneurship will be essential to compete in the world of the 21st century. Prof. Shah has explored all these issues during this lecture.

Disclaimer and some facts:

This is 1 hr. 3 mins lecture session. But it is highly recommended to watch this video. The discussion gets very interesting from the middle of the session.

This recording has done through an alternate camera, because of which there are some visual distractions during the lecture.

Due to technical difficulties on India side, we had to continue the session using some other mediums like cell phone. So please bear with that.

I hope you will enjoy this learning session!

‘मेमोरीयल डे’चा होता तो लॊंग वीकएन्ड,
‘योसेमिटे’चा प्लॆन ठरला होता अगदी वेल बिफ़ोर हॆन्ड,

‘नाही नाही’ म्हणत, चार-पाच जणांनी सरप्राईज दिले अगदी ऐनवेळी,
असे करता करता चक्क झाली आमची वीस जणांची टोळी,

नवे मित्र, नव्या मैत्रिणी, पुर्व ओळखीची कधी गरजही नाही पडली,
कोणी पक्के मराठी तर कोणी फक्त हिंदी, भिन्न मते असुनही एकमेंकात मिसळायला नाही कधी ती अडली,

धबधब्यांची शुभ्रता, झाडांची भव्यता, खोल दरया आणि उंच पर्वतातली भिन्नता,
अगदी सगळे काही होते, पण शेवटपर्यंत वाटत होती ‘ति’ची तेवढी कमतरता…

- आदित्य

(हि कविता म्हणजे माझ्या अगोदरच्या कवितेचे निष्पन्ण आहे ;-) )

तिचं आपलं एकच म्हणनं होतं,
“तु माझ्यावर कधीच, ‘चांगली’ कविता करत नाही”,

तिला हे कसं समजावुन सांगु,
कविता कशी जरी असली, तरी ‘तिच्या’शिवाय ती पुर्णच होत नाही!

- आदित्य

प्रेमाचे… होय… प्रेमाचेच आर्किटेक्चर जरा बिघडले होते,
ह्रिदय प्रोसेसराचे क्लॊकिंग मेकॆनिजम अगदी व्यवस्थित होते,
पण फ़्रिक्वेन्सी रेटचे गणित तेवढे जरा गंडले होते,

आत्तापर्यंत प्रेमी आयुष्याची पाइपलाईन कशी अगदी सुरळीत होती,
पण आता एकमेकांच्या एक्जिक्युशनवर डिपेन्डन्सीसची रांग लागली होती,
स्टॊलिंग केल्यामुळे परफ़ॊरमन्सचीही आता बोंबाबोंब होयला लागली होती,

तिला आपले साधे-सोपे इंटिजर युनिट वापरुन आयुष्य उपभोगायला आवडते,
मला मात्र फ़्लॊटिंग पॊईंट युनिट वापरुन आयुष्य बिझी ठेवायला आवडते,
रिसोर्स अलोकेशनच्या ह्या पेचामुळे आता साधी बेरीजही खुप अवघड वाटते,

तिला सगळ्या आठवणी जतन करायला म्हणे आख्की एक डी-रॆम लागते,
माझे काम मात्र अगदी एका छोटयाश्या कॆशे मधेही होऊन जाते,
कॆशे कोहेरेन्सीच्या ह्या ईशूमुळे, आजकाल तिच्या मनात फ़क्त करप्ट डेटाचेच राईटींग होते,

थोडे रडत-खडत का होईना, आर्किटेक्चर मात्र तसे फ़ंक्श्नल आहे,
उगाच डिझाईन चेंज करुन अजुन नवीन ईशुज वाढवायला मी काय वेडा आहे?
आहे तेच आर्किटेक्चर असु देत, ह्याच्यामधेच आमचे एक्जिक्युशन कसे अगदी सुखी आहे!

- आदित्य

(हि कविता पुर्णतः काल्पनिक भावनेवर आधारित आहे, आणि ह्याचा माझ्या वास्तविकतेशी काहिही एक संबंध नाही. उगाच तुमच्या डोक्याला चालना नको म्हणुन आपले स्पष्ट केले. ;-) )

तुझा विचार करने, ही एक सवय बनली होती,
विरंगुळा म्हणुन लावलेली सवय, आता एक व्यसन बनले आहे,
व्यसनी ह्या माझ्याशी, तु आता लग्न करशील का?
नाही म्हणालीस तरी काही हरकत नाही, पण हे व्यसन आता सुटणे शक्य नाही…

- आदित्य

ऎकमेकांचे फ़क्त चांगलेच रुप,
प्रेमात तेवढे दिसते,
खरं रुप अनुभवायची वेळ,
लग्नानंतरच का येते?
