Onboard the vistara flight from Mumbai to Delhi, I happened to strike a conversation with my fellow passenger, looking at a book he was holding in his hand. Not able to contain my curiosity, I asked him what book he was reading! It was the Bhagavad Gita!
Since my father has been asking me to read the book for quite some time, I ended up asking him how he actually picked up that book to read! It was more the circumstances that led to it- the man said!
There began a conversation about Gita, Sanatan dharma & the education system. Amidst all of this, my mind hovered over the profession the man might have been in & it zeroed down on a businessman!
But boy, I was so wrong in my judgement when the man started a discussion about Higgs-boson particle! And to my astonishment, the man was working with their Nuclear power corporation of India- an engineer!
And from there on, the conversation took an entirely different turn, discussing the 123 deal to the Rocket boys and then ofcourse the BARC!
The 1.5 hrs flight was over in a jiffy and I can only revel in the learnings I have had through that conversation!
What's the most interesting conversation that you have had?
