Lemma 1 : I have pretty much the most amazing and loving parents ever
( Subjectively: Which other lower middle-income family lets their son take a sabbatical along with any other stupid decisions throughout my life.
Objectively: Pretty much anyone with a non-traumatic childhood must be thinking about their parents the same way right ? )


Lemma 2 : I am a moderate misanthrope

Retrospection : I wonder what would i have been if I had any less adorable parents.

Well, maybe causality is overrated with respect to the Human Condition.

I wonder if I would have grown up to be a different man had my introduction to physics been the principle of least action rather than Newton's F=ma.

Though, I have fond memories of all my physics teachers including Mrs. Meenakumari who thought giving me ( read 15 year old ) her MSc Superconductivity textbook was a good idea.
