Last Meeting: June 18, 2020

About 10-15 people joined for this meeting. At this meeting, the discussion revolved around the recent skirmish between India and the Chinese army at the Ladakh border. It involved an examination of what led to the humiliation India experienced in 1962. An examination of the history is useful in learning lessons from it, but not in discussing who bears the blame.


This Meeting: June 25, 2020

We will have our usual songs and poetry recital. Invariably, there will be some questions and discussion about how coronavirus could affect our lives in the months, and perhaps years, to come.

Please let me know well in advance, if you would like to make a presentation on some topic of common interest.
