American Professor in the news
Sep. 7th, 2009 08:39 pmSPCE issued a press release and held a press conference for their visiting American scholar. The local Visnagar newspapers attended. Several people made speeches or statements, apparently including Michael (though I wasn't around to see that one). The story will be printed sometime in the next few days. The article will be in the vernacular Gujarati, so Professor Hiren has offered to provide a translation. The reporters called Hiren on Saturday during lunch, asking him for more information on the Fulbright-Nehru exchange program.
Today (Monday) there was a TV news crew for the Gujarat state news. They interviewed Michael briefly on videotape, along with the SPCE principal (Dr. L.N. Patel). They also asked to tape Michael teaching a class. He'd already delivered two lectures that day, so he pretended to teach a class--he preempted an operating systems lab, and taught the students how to remove all the files on a disk recursively. They'll have the segments on the Gujarati news channel tomorrow morning at 11.
