Over the years, I have had the pleasure of interacting with many people from all walks of life: colleagues, family members, students, friends, community leaders, social activists, and young mentees. Through such interactions, observations, discussions, and contemplation, many pictures and ideas have emerged in my head – and thus, the birth of my blogs. My intent in the musings is not to teach nor to advocate. Rather, I hope these blogs will give readers a chance to reflect, contemplate, and discuss with family and friends.
