Few Day's ago i was in Pondicherry along with Dipan and Trupti, and we had a long discussion-argument and debate on this very topic. For and against the whole proposal itself. Dipan and Trupti are a little apprehensive of the out come of such a 'confluence'. The question is 'what woud this gathering finally deliver? what are we looking at?.
I have no clear answer. But i can sense the need and somehow we have to convince ourselves about the outcome and processes thereafter the confluence.
1. One idea or Topic of discussion could be 'Deconstructing India through Innovations'. These innovations could be in the social-work, Developmental work, education or in cultural understanding. KB Jinan in education, Ravindrkumar/ Guruji for socio-cultral thesis, Anand Kumar for Politics and leaders in India.
2. The other topic or area which could be taken up could be, Politcs-Power and Professional work, explore the links among them, to achieve larger common good.
3. Third of the topic could be, discussing some exceptional leaders India has had like Gandhi, Vivekananda, Chanakya and Shivaji. The strategic decisions and innovations employed by each one, their understanding of the particular situations, the world views evolved and the vision each one had and how it was actually implemented.

Pondicherry could b good venue but if we all think of some other possibilty we can rethink.

This whole idea of creating a common platform, on this virtual space, has finally happened as on today. I am still a novice, absolutely new,on how we shall be using this space and this platform to finally make the initiation for the confluence that we have been discussing for a couple of years now.

We hope that this would help us make the idea of confluence to turn into reality.

The idea is not to Blog, but to use this tool so that All of us finally met and share.
