Just watched an amazing show on 60 Minutes about IIT (The Indian Institute of Technology). It was really fascinating to see how much Indian students go through to be a part of this wonderful institution. Nehru's idea was to start this school as a way for India to train their brightest engineers post independance. It started out that way...but now, IIT is basically a feeding ground for the United States to hand pick the top Engineers. A stat was said that approximately 100,000 jobs have been started as a result of IIT entrepreneurs starting up in Silicon Valley. Very interesting outlook on the difference in education between India and America. One funny quote was a former student saying his son went to Cornell University as a back up cause he didn't get into IIT the first time around. Thoguht that was pretty impressive...

So long.
