SD,
You really must make an effort to avoid understatement.

Problem you have, Shantam, is that your output tends largely to err on the side of the rather naive and over-simplistic (not to mention the vast majority being on a single track), almost totally lacking any genuine psycho-spiritual insight and very often revealing far more about your own – hidden to you – neuroses than what you’re ostensibly discussing, so that in order to grasp when you think you’re attempting irony it has to be clearly spelt out to the readers!

I suggest you either provide a heading or an ‘afterward’ to indicate such attempts, eg ‘THIS POST IS IRONIC’, or inform the SN team so that they can find a way to do likewise.

People who cannot even understand irony claim to understand spirituality.
No way, Sir Ji.

“It is another fact boyish-looking nerds who created airbnb, paypal, facebook, google etc. did not get some rub on metaphorical third eyes.”

And what point do you think you’re making here, Shantam?

Yahoo was created by some sannyasin computer nerd from Bangalore?

What to say, Shantam Prem? Please note, if, when Steve Jobs, when visiting your homeland in 1975/76, had visited the commune in Pune, maybe he would have worked in Deeksha´s kitchen or as a cleaner (?), whilst also attending discourses morning and evenings, having Darshans, and could have talked to the Master or put his questions out, waiting for some response (?).

And that might have been a better choice than the places he chose to approach in India at that time.

“India both traumatised Steve Jobs and changed his life. He returned to Atari a Buddhist, and a more focused and hardened individual. Did he find in India the steel that was to allow him to survive an ouster from the company he founded and then to return and rise to unexpected heights?

After returning to Atari, Jobs rekindled his friendship with high school mate Steve Wozniak who was working at Hewlett-Packard then. Together, the two Steves launched a startup called Apple Computer from Jobs’s garage in Palo Alto, California.

It’s hard to say if India’s less than favoured status with Apple can be attributed to Steve Jobs’s early experience with the country. But it is definitely true that it was then that the foundations were laid for the titanic, perfection-obsessed, often ruthless personality he was to become later.”

Sorry too, Madhu, sometimes perhaps I/we just go off the tangent by the unperceived/unperceivable first expressions, so that the ones that follow just don’t make any sense.

Well, in that case, thanks for the clarification.

This kind of Darshan style of touching in the middle of forehead is becoming quite famous in India and ex-Soviet block countries.

It is another fact boyish-looking nerds who created airbnb, paypal, facebook, google etc. did not get some rub on metaphorical third eyes.
