Dec 1 2011: I had a fast track life until 2008 (I was 32 then), by which I mean college, masters, marriage, job and another job...until I had my son, and other legal (visa)issues because of which I was forced to take a break...as it is very difficult to do nothing, I started taking classes in ceramics, from two hours a week to every day class...to a studio at home (now) and finally closing door to the old career path. It was direct jump from left to right brain...but to be constantly being stimulated and inspired I realized I needed company of right minded people...all the friends I had made so far from school ( science Maths), Engineering college, MBA college, jobs and projects could not relate to my new life. Luckily this happened in the current age where social media is coming as a big help...I started joining groups of my choice, things I am passionate about, there I get to exchange views, get new ideas, learn new things...I interact with people I don't know, but come to a realization that it the thought that matters, not who it is coming from...I am not sure if it is technically called "crowd wisdom". As there are a bunch of people whom I learning from and building my own wisdom.
