2352: A Symmetry of Learning: From One Scholar to a University

I am feeling truly speechless today, reflecting on how a single connection can bridge two different academic worlds.

It began with an incredibly touching email from HoD of the English Department from SKIT Jaipur. A PhD scholar had attended one of my offline workshops on the ethical use of AI. I stay constantly busy sharing my research experiences, and I’ve always felt fortunate to be part of such a vibrant academic community. Often, the auditoriums are so full that one-to-one interaction feels impossible and being a bit of an "absent-minded professor" myself, I sometimes worry I don't see everyone.

However, learning is never a one-way street. We exist in a mutual aura where the energy of the scholars and the speaker feed into each other.

This student carried that shared energy back to her university. She advocated for her peers, insisting that they too should benefit from this dialogue. Because of her conviction, the university authorities reached out to me with a direct invitation.

Reading her narration in that mail was a "Wow" moment. To see a participant become an ambassador for knowledge, followed by the diligent support of her university, led to a superb week-long workshop. It was a powerful reminder that when participants engage wholeheartedly, the learning experience belongs to all of us.

Countless thanks to that scholar for spreading the word, and to the university for the invitation.

Happy researching to everyone.
