"THE PYRAMIDS OF SAND!"

This abstraction called, Hell, I am just so sure, is a Software environment, as that is where I have been residing since long! So, as I stop to reflect and to write this post, one stark reality dawn on me that "All of Education has become more and more Theatrical! A visible and a great accomplishment would be to make Education one hell of a lot of fun! Only and only then will the World truly even out!! Do stop and figure out this word. even out? I for one, found no fun in writing a genetic algorithm in C and C++. But then to my good fortune, Will Durant, pulled me out of my psychological funk, "Education is the progressive discovery of our own ignorance!" So very true! Thank you, Sir!

Strong, and vital and happy as he appears, he often speaks these days with the voice of a man who feels his own death. It is a voice made more credible by his ageing, the snowy hair, the thinner face and frame, the lines in his cheeks and brow, the scar that runs the length of his chest.

In his splendid service to humanity, that gets repeated in Lesotho, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, the African leaders tend to treat him as if he were still the world's most powerful Head of State.

He is , after all, perhaps the most famous person on earth, an emissary from a rich country that they love and sometimes hate, and in Africa, they seem to regard Clinton as still being the leader of the part of America that is more agreeable to them. The Presidents stand proudly next to him, as if his presence reflects their own legitimacy. And they listen when he urges them to help remove the stigma from their HIV infected citizens, to expand health services to rural areas, and to cooperate with the United Nations, Western governments, and non-governmental organisations.

But at Kigali , the capital of Rwanda, he solemnly laid a wreath on the mass tomb that commemorates the eight hundred thousand victims of the genocide that Clinton did nothing to stop. He has profusely apologised for that failure before, but it may not be possible to apologize enough. At luncheon in his honour, he held forth while Rawanda's President Paul Kagame sat opposite and listened.

Then the room went quiet. Clinton realized that Kagame wanted to speak. Kagame finally spoke, "You are welcome in our country anytime." Bill Clinton smiled a warm gratified look as it had gotten something that he had wanted just so very much.

To a fair world, which sadly and tragically it is not, this great work of President Bill Clinton should be nothing short of Renaissance. This honour is not about death of faith but about the triumph of humanity. And History must record, and you all must remember, that the Students of the world were the first and foremost to bring the world together! Just look at our fluttering flags!

Good night and God bless.
