Rivers of Pune & me


Rivers of Pune:
Mutha River: Rivers that flow across Pune originates from Panshet, Varasgoan --> Khadakwasla that flows through main Pune city. (Bridges: Shambhaji (Lakdi pool), Sangam, Bridge, Mhathre Bridge, etc)
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutha_River)

Mula River: Mula river flows through Pune, Khadki and Bombay Sapper. Mulshi dam is main source and relatively smaller dam like Kusegoan dam, etc. (Bridges: Holkar, Harry's, Shivaji bridge)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mula_River_(India)

Sangamwadi is the place where Mula-Mutha merge and form a union to reach Bhima river (near Bhigwan)

My house is on the left bank of Mula river at a distance of around 400 feet :)

My Windows OS doesn't like my clean Computer table

This weekend I cleaned-up my PC desk and ensure there isn't any clustered wires around. This needed alot of reshuffling and unplugging and turns-out my Windows doesn't like the clean desk policy. It stop working. Thanks to Ubuntu, I am still live online :)

Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?

Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?
Quotes:
"Creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status"
"If you are not prepared to be wrong, you will not come-up with something original"
"We are educating people out of their creative capacities"
"Intelligence is Diverse" "We think of world in all dimension, we think visually, we think in sound, we think in movement, we think in abstract"
"Intelligence is Dynamic"
"Intelligence is Distinct"
"Education will take us to the future that we can't grasp."
"A kid who will be starting school this year will be retiring in year 2065. Nobody has a clue what the world will look like in 5 years time, and yet we are meant to educate them for it"
