This picture was taken at the historical William Randolph Hearst Greek Theatre, and the stage is the same stage I walked when I graduated this May from Cal. Even after four years amongst Nobel Laureates and inventors and revolutionaries I will never stop being amazed by the true extent of Berkeley's place in history. Go Bears. Jai Hind.

[Training Children]
May i ask you to inculcate a sense of discipline and social conscience among children. Do not impose on children high ideals... what is wanted at present is that their minds are so trained as to me the childern self-reliant and enable them to face the realities of life as they grow up.
(Jawaharlal Nehru)
