Hi!

Let me introduce myself ... I joined this list today.

My name is Sivakami .
Indian, female, 29 years old, married.
Working as a corporate manager in an IT firm in India .

An agnostic/atheist, quite passionate about science (although I still have lots and lots to learn!). Huge fan of Carl Sagan and Richard Dawkins.

Love discussions on science, ethics, religion vs skepticism etc.

Here's to some good discussions .

I was wondering if I was in the right forum and your post is a good answer

They are both scientists and popularisers of science !

Oh, no, ,Sivakami, not everyone on this board is as ignorant as I am.
I simply rarely read popularisers of science. I prefer to read about science from people who actually do it.
Stephen Hawking can tell himself what he thinks and does it quite well!

...flew U-2 over Russia?
Common, Ronbo. You tried once, of course, but got shot down though.
I wonder, what you used to say before you flew that U-2, American planes ar so good, Russkies are so inferior, they couldn't possibly have anything to shoot that high.
He, he, he....

Yes, old days....What a waste...To occupy so many people and for what?
But, hey, it's history, it happened.

I just wonder, former Cold War warriors from both sides should organise some sort of club. I am sure you will find company of each other very interesting . There would be a lot to talk about. It's your life, your experiences and they are dear for you.

Not for us, normal people. We dearly hate you both (not personal remark, Ronbo :-) )
