So, at the ripe old age of 42, on 28th of October, I received my Master's Degree in Public Policy from TERI,
at a convocation...
His Royal Nibs, the Lt. Governor of Delhi, Tejendra Khanna was there, probably bribed by TERI's act of giving
him a Honorary Doctorate....
TERI gave a doctorate to some UAE Minister, some Sultan Royal Nibs, probably because he must have given them a contract..also some DG of UNIDO got one, probably because of the same reason...
Khanna and Pachauri gave crashingly boring speeches..
After talking about inclusive development, poverty blah blah, Pachouri got into a 70 lakh Toyota Prius and glided away...
Me? I felt depressed to graduate with kids half my age...guess there is a time for everything in my life....
Still, not a bad way of getting a degree, sleeping off every afternoon, and a trip to the US besides.....
TERI being TERI, guess everything is basically a selling opportunity...
Being a record of the random reflections of a lone individual, nowhere purporting to be the official blog of any organisation or association, wherein I expend my surplus energies in the most appropriate fashion with due regard to my advanced state of decreptitude.....and wherein the views contained in the said blog are purely my views, fickle and capricious...not to be mistaken for any collective body's considered opinion!
