to purnima

Purnima, 

Nice to meet you. Some further thoughts and questions: 

Are you using Google Translate for Hindi < > English translations - https://translate.google.com/ (speaking just became possible :) !!!)

Regarding the 

Rajasthani language

found -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajasthani_languages

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajasthani_languages#:~:text=Rajasthani%20languages%20are%20a%20branch,provinces%20of%20Punjab%20and%20Sindh.

I learned from this that

"Standard Rajasthani or Standard Marwari, a version of Rajasthani, the common lingua franca of Rajasthani people and is spoken by over 25 million people (2011) in different parts of Rajasthan.^[5] It has to be taken into consideration, however, that some speakers of Standard Marwari are conflated with Hindi speakers in the census. Marwari, the most spoken Rajasthani language with approximately 8 million speakers^[5] situated in the historic Marwar region of western Rajasthan."

I haven't begun the Rajasthani language

wiki subject or school planned in Rajasthani here yet -

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages 

(planned in each of all 7164 known living languages), but you'll find the Hindi language school at WUaS here not yet in Hindi.

New approaches to Rajasthani government statistics with artificial intelligence and machine learning, even informed by Google's possible helping the US government, or the state of California government in California, for data collection, ai and ML, - and regarding responsible AI? 

Here's Kent Walker, a senior legal counsel at Google on responsible AI -

https://x.com/Kent_Walker/status/1790466534911181190 - who has also worked with the US federal government re responsible data use.

How might MIT OCW-centric wiki Work World University and School be able to help - and in our seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet in ~200 countries from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University ?

Perhaps see you next Tuesday around the same time in Mellon park if not before there.

Purnima - do you happen to know or know of the Mazumdars beyond what I've told you? Pin was my best friend in high school - and they helped me take an amazing trip in 2013-2014 in India first visiting them in Kolkata. Very nice to meet you! 

Namaste,

Scott

Hi Pin! met Dr. Purnima Sharma in Mellon park yesterday evening ... Appreciating her Hindu I think good energy and thinking. Just texted my mother in these regards: "Hi Ma! Very interesting to meet Dr Purnima Sharma a woman from Rajasthan India yesterday evening in Mellon park . . . A statistician from the city of Jaipur who speaks Hindi and a little Rajasthani, and is visiting the US for the first time her son who's doing a Master's degree at CMU AND interested in doing a PhD in robotics and drone technologies at possibly MIT  (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/06/tasmanian-cushion-plants.html) ... World Univ & Sch is a Once in a Blue moon opportunity ... (and see WUaS MBM on 6/15/24 http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/07/mount-anne-southwest-national-park.html ) ...

Having fasted a bit yesterday - especially from eggs and dairy ... I'm wondering if this is the approach that will work to reverse the cyst-like activity ...  But which might take weeks or months ... ❣️As Purnima and I parted yesterday, she said something like "May I proceed now?" ... as if with some sort of Hindu insight or thinking too into my being blocked somehow possibly too ... Interesting ...   Love, abolitionally, see you soon, ❣️Yogically, Scott  " As I just sat in half lotus in meditation (then into Yoga mudrasana moving forward head to floor in half lotus, which is further deeply easing and re an inner releasing action of meditation) this morning, I wondered further about Purnima's cultural understandings and thinking regarding her Hindu cultural and religious life and being ... Curious further about our Namaste with each other ... (the light within salutes the light within Purnima is one translation of Namaste)  which many many Indians seem to embody ... Thoughts, questions, ideas? Namaste, Scotty (More here about this to come - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/06/tasmanian-cushion-plants.html - and regarding WUaS in India:)
