आप जानते ही हैं कि हम स्कूलों में किताबों से शिक्षा पाते हैं। पच्चीस साल पहले जिन किताबों से लोगों ने शिक्षा प्राप्त की थी, वे आज गलत हैं, और जो आज सही हैं, वे आज से पच्चीस साल बाद फिर गलत हो जाएगीं। इसलिए अगर वे तब गलत होंगी, तो वे आज भी गलत हैं, और जो व्यक्ति गलत किताबों से शिक्षित हुआ है, वह शिक्षित नहीं है, बल्कि गुमराह हुआ है। जितनी भी किताबें लिखी जाती हैं वे गलत होती हैं, जो व्यक्ति शिक्षित नहीं है वह किताब लिख नहीं सकता और जो शिक्षित है, वह वास्तव में शिक्षित नहीं है बल्कि गुमराह है और जो गुमराह है वह ऐसी किताब नहीं लिख सकता जो सही हो।

You know we receive an education in the schools from books. All those books that people became educated from twenty-five years ago, are wrong now, and those that are good now, will be wrong again twenty-five years from now. So if they are wrong then, they are also wrong now, and the one who is educated from the wrong books is not educated, he is misled. All books that are written are wrong, the one who is not educated cannot write a book and the one who is educated, is really not educated but he is misled and the one who is misled cannot write a book which is correct.

मैंने पिरामिडों के रहस्यों की खोज कर ली है, और यह पता लगा लिया है कि मिस्रवासियों तथा पेरू, यूकातान और एशिया के प्राचीन निर्माणकर्ताओं ने, केवल आदिम औजारों के सहारे, कई-कई टन वजनी पत्थर के ब्लॉकों को कैसे उठाया और अपनी जगहों पर स्थापित किया!

जब मैं सात या आठ साल का था, तो एक व्यक्ति के रूप में, मेरे पापा मुझे पढ़ाई में पढ़ाने के लिए बहुत मेहनत करते थे क्योंकि मुझे सीखने में कठिनाई होती थी या जो भी समस्या हो। मैं बस यही कामना करता था कि वे मेरे दिमाग में कोई चिप लगा दें ताकि मुझे सब कुछ अपने आप आ जाए और मुझे पढ़ाई न करनी पड़े।

As a person, when I was seven or eight, my dad would try very hard to tutor me through school because I had learning difficulties or whatever. I would wish that they could just plant a chip in my brain so that I would know everything and not have to study.

आज की आधुनिक दुनिया में, जो आए दिन पॉप संस्कृति के नए तौर-तरीकों और पाखंडों से भरती जा रही है, लीसा मॉर्टन ने इतिहास के उस छिपे हुए और अनजाने पहलुओं से पर्दा उठाया है जो इतिहास के सबसे बड़े पॉप संस्कृति उत्सव यानी 'हैलोवीन' से जुड़े हैं। इस डरावने विषय के अनछुए पहलुओं को सामने लाने में उनका उत्साह और बेहतरीन शोध इस बात पर सोचने पर मजबूर कर देता है कि ऐसी और कितनी ही चीज़ें होंगी जिनके बारे में हम कुछ नहीं जानते, जबकि उन्हें तो हमारी चेतना का उतना ही आम हिस्सा होना चाहिए जितना टॉफियों का डिब्बा।

In a modern world, increasingly filled with pop culture fads and gimmicks, Lisa Morton reveals much of the underbelly history and unknown facts regarding the biggest pop culture event in history-Halloween. Her sheer delight and well-researched enthusiasm in tackling many of the unrecognized aspects of this monstrous topic makes one wonder what we don't know about everything else that should be as commonplace to our psyche as a bag of candy.

मेरे लिए जिस चीज़ ने सबसे बड़ा काम किया, वह थी मेरे द्वारा पढ़ी जा रही एक किताब के पीछे छपी एक छोटी सी टिप्पणी (blurb)। समीक्षा लिखने वाले ने लिखा था—जिसे मैंने अभी देखा है—कि "मुकदमों ने 'सूक्ष्म-इतिहास' (micro-history) या 'नई कथा शैली' (new narrative) के कुछ बेहतरीन उदाहरण प्रदान किए हैं..." और बस, बात वहीं बन गई।

What did it for me was a blurb on the back of a book I was reading. The blurber wrote - I just looked it up - that "Trials have provided some of the best examples of 'micro-history' or the 'new narrative'...." And that was it.

Syndrome shabd ka matlab aam taur par kisi vyakti ke andar paye jane wale milte-julte lakshno ya vyavhar ka ek samuh hota hai. Isliye, savants mein bhi lakshno ka ek aisa hi samuh paya jata hai, jismein kisi mool disability ke sath-sath koi behtareen hunar aur ek shaktishali yaaddasht judi hoti hai. Mere vichar se, yeh teeno sthitiyan 'syndrome' shabd ko poori tarah paribhashit karti hain।

The term syndrome generally appears to be a constellation, or collection, of similar traits or behaviors within an individual. So, savants do have sort of a constellation of symptoms, which is characterized by some spectacular skill, or skills, coupled with this massive memory which is grafted on to some underlying disability. So those three conditions quantify, in my mind, the term syndrome.

वैश्विक इनोवेशन प्रोजेक्ट्स को सही तरीके से चलाना बेहद जरूरी है क्योंकि इनसे दो तरह से प्रतिस्पर्धी बढ़त (competitive advantage) मिलती है। जब किसी इनोवेशन के लिए ज्ञान दुनिया भर की अलग-अलग जगहों से आता है, तो प्रतिस्पर्धियों के लिए उस इनोवेशन की नकल करना बेहद मुश्किल हो जाता है—उन्हें वही ज्ञान उन्हीं जगहों से हासिल करना होगा। दूसरा, वैश्विक परियोजनाओं में एक साथ (parallel) विकास के जरिए लागत और बाजार में उतरने के समय को काफी हद तक कम किया जा सकता है, जिससे पहले कदम बढ़ाने वाले (first mover) को फायदा मिलता है।

Getting global innovation projects right is really important as they create competitive advantage two ways. When the knowledge for an innovation is from different sites around the world, it's very much more difficult for competitors to copy these innovation - they'd have to access the same knowledge from the same places. Secondly, costs and time to market can be significantly reduced leading to first mover advantage through parallel development in global projects.

मुझे यूनिवर्सिटी जाकर पढ़ाई करने का विचार बहुत पसंद है। मैंने यह सोचकर पढ़ाई नहीं की थी कि यह मेरे लिए कोई बैक-अप प्लान है। एक तरह से यह अभिनय के साथ-साथ चलने वाली चीज़ है। इसमें काफी विश्लेषण और मानसिक विकास के साथ-साथ समस्याओं को सुलझाना भी शामिल होता है। और एक कलाकार के रूप में अलग-अलग लोगों के बीच रहना हमेशा फायदेमंद ही होता है।

I like the idea of going to university and studying. I didn't do it because it was a back-up plan. In some ways, it kind of goes hand in hand with acting. There's a lot of analysis and enriching your mind, as well as problem solving. And it can only help being around people as an actor.
