Purnima, Pin, Mazumdars, All,

Greetings ... How are you? How is your first week or two in the USA going? How is your son doing at CMU with his Master's degree in Robotics and drones and related areas? Will he finish his degree in May of 2025?

Am not sure about being in the park where we met and talked last week close, 3 blocks away, to where the Mazumdars used to live, and my parents too (and where I lived during high school years in the second half of the 1970s).  

India MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch is growing -
but developing it with Google's TensorFlow artificial intelligence and Gemini AI abd in India's 22 official languages for free to students' MIT OCW-centric WUaS degrees in the home - with the guidance especially of Google and Alphabets' CEO Sundar Pichai (a Tamil speaker - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Tamil_language planned in Tamil from

Perhaps we can talk, brainstorming-wise about developing World Univ & Sch as open wiki schools for Rajasthani language speakers planned in Rajasthani - all 25 million of Rajasthanis in NW India - and as a 'non-scheduled' language in India (one of some 453 languages in India https://justlearn.com/blog/what-languages-are-spoken-in-india#:~:text=Ethnologue%20says%20that%20the%20total,of%20India%20are%20official%20languages) - and for free online WUaS degrees if helpful for these partially rural people (who may be heading for cities for jobs too).

Here is the beginning Statistics' wiki subject at WUaS -
(from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects) - and check out the not yet updated MIT OCW courses too to see a bit how WUaS works further.


Best wishes, Namaste, Friendly Quaker regards,
Scott

Dear Purnima, 

Again, it was very nice to meet you this evening. 

Dr Purnima Sharma  <purnimastat2@gmail.com>

Also, I searched on 
Dr Purnima Sharma purnimastat2@gmail.com jaipur rajasthan government statistics 

& found -


Are you any relation to MIT's Sanjay Sharma, whom I've spoken with in a video call, whi has a Master's degree from CMU, since it can be a very small world  - 





And here is a web site for my friend Pin Mazumdar whom I know from the second half of the 1970s in high school, and who lived on Hastings st 3 blocks from where we met and talked -


And his parents - 


and his twin sister and brother -

to purnima
Purnima, 

Nice to meet you. Some further thoughts and questions: 


Are you using Google Translate for Hindi < > English translations - https://translate.google.com/ (speaking just became possible :) !!!)



Regarding the 
Rajasthani language

found -




I learned from this that

"Standard Rajasthani or Standard Marwari, a version of Rajasthani, the common lingua franca of Rajasthani people and is spoken by over 25 million people (2011) in different parts of Rajasthan.[5] It has to be taken into consideration, however, that some speakers of Standard Marwari are conflated with Hindi speakers in the census. Marwari, the most spoken Rajasthani language with approximately 8 million speakers[5] situated in the historic Marwar region of western Rajasthan."


I haven't begun the Rajasthani language
wiki subject or school planned in Rajasthani here yet -

(planned in each of all 7164 known living languages), but you'll find the Hindi language school at WUaS here not yet in Hindi.



New approaches to Rajasthani government statistics with artificial intelligence and machine learning, even informed by Google's possible helping the US government, or the state of California government in California, for data collection, ai and ML, - and regarding responsible AI? 

Here's Kent Walker, a senior legal counsel at Google on responsible AI -
https://x.com/Kent_Walker/status/1790466534911181190 - who has also worked with the US federal government re responsible data use.



How might MIT OCW-centric wiki Work World University and School be able to help - and in our seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet in ~200 countries from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University ?


Perhaps see you next Tuesday around the same time in Mellon park if not before there.

Purnima - do you happen to know or know of the Mazumdars beyond what I've told you? Pin was my best friend in high school - and they helped me take an amazing trip in 2013-2014 in India first visiting them in Kolkata. Very nice to meet you! 

Namaste,
Scott

Hi Pin! met Dr. Purnima Sharma in Mellon park yesterday evening ... Appreciating her Hindu I think good energy and thinking. Just texted my mother in these regards: "Hi Ma! Very interesting to meet Dr Purnima Sharma a woman from Rajasthan India yesterday evening in Mellon park . . . A statistician from the city of Jaipur who speaks Hindi and a little Rajasthani, and is visiting the US for the first time her son who's doing a Master's degree at CMU AND interested in doing a PhD in robotics and drone technologies at possibly MIT  (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/06/tasmanian-cushion-plants.html) ... World Univ & Sch is a Once in a Blue moon opportunity ... (and see WUaS MBM on 6/15/24 http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/07/mount-anne-southwest-national-park.html ) ...

Having fasted a bit yesterday - especially from eggs and dairy ... I'm wondering if this is the approach that will work to reverse the cyst-like activity ...  But which might take weeks or months ... ❣️As Purnima and I parted yesterday, she said something like "May I proceed now?" ... as if with some sort of Hindu insight or thinking too into my being blocked somehow possibly too ... Interesting ...   Love, abolitionally, see you soon, ❣️Yogically, Scott  " As I just sat in half lotus in meditation (then into Yoga mudrasana moving forward head to floor in half lotus, which is further deeply easing and re an inner releasing action of meditation) this morning, I wondered further about Purnima's cultural understandings and thinking regarding her Hindu cultural and religious life and being ... Curious further about our Namaste with each other ... (the light within salutes the light within Purnima is one translation of Namaste)  which many many Indians seem to embody ... Thoughts, questions, ideas? Namaste, Scotty (More here about this to come - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/06/tasmanian-cushion-plants.html - and regarding WUaS in India:)
