Abishai Gangulee

I’m an Asian-Indian male, born in 1978, the last of my grandfather’s family line. I went to an Ivy League college in New Hampshire, USA. I was born in Bihar, India. I speak Bengali and English fluently. I met the love of my life in 2001, a woman, and we were engaged. I discovered relativity as it applied to my mathematical-neuroscience field theory work at the age of 23. I decided to devote my life to Christ and perhaps to a for-profit self-employed business, such as a restaurant, as I have become an avid chef. I love the painter Seurat, the writer Edith Wharton, and the scientist Ernst Mach. I very much enjoy the writings and teachings of my grandfather’s neighbors. I also love music: cello, piano, drums, dancing. My partner and I love to dance. My favorite musicians include Lenny Kravitz, Bob Dylan, and Madonna. I also like the Indian musician Jagjit Singh. It was a thrill to formally leave applied mathematics at the age of 23. At the time, I felt the self-imposed peer-pressure of “great physicists discover everything by their late 20s.” It was this, and meeting my gal that opened up new chapters in my life and new options for work and recreation, such as gardening and family management. I live under the support of others but have acquired resources and plans to become a guardian (if not of children). My family is distinguished in politics, science, literature, education, civil service, and the arts. I think of myself as Errol Flynn, a sort of “Harry Kennedy.” In India, my family is considered classy and stylish. The secret to gardening is maintaining consistent conditions for any type of plant. Consistency also means achieving balance between watering temperature and room temperature. Always try luke-warm water as a default plan and water the thing as if you were angry with it, but do it gently. As a young man I loved the composer Chopin but now prefer the more famous work of Beethoven. Here is a tip for tourists: when visiting India, drink coconut water, take your iPod, and refrain from feeling charitable.
