Ruminations from 21012023

 The topics this time was mean to be reading goals for 2023 and how and what we wanted to read. Invariably , like a lot of conversations, apart from reading, we ended up discussing chatGPT, it's uses, abuses , bias and mathematics. Almost all of us wanted to look and understand more of AI.  We also discussed structure . We also spoke about podcasts and how they are coming in. Also, if the written word has many days left on paper or paper will be with the leaves in oblivion was a point of conversation.


Targets 

Puneeta has set a target for 2 books a month and is intending to do wide variety of books. History and mythology and its intersection and a diverse set of books would be in the target area. Present book is Devdutt Patnanaik's Eden is the present book being read 

Ganesh has a target of a book summary a week and 30 minutes per day of any subjects that hit him . The idea is to stay current and enjoy reading. Present book being read is the The Richest Man in Babylon

Uday's choice is to stick around profession and focus on removal of duality and stick with purpose and self-discovery. Present book being read is The great book of your life

Charu wanted to keep versatility and rather than setting up targets, wanted to enjoy reading. A few books going around in parallel 

Shally continues to be fascinated by 4000 weeks and is looking at this in many places including on chatGPT. She is also looking at books that are deep and into her profession of counseling. We got an opportunity to touch on stress and loneliness
