Drawing parallels




Mark Twain urf Samuel Langhorne Clemen's, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court is a must read for any technology buff. Somewhere in-between pages, he compares the intellectual work with labor kind of work, and, it is perhaps right to interpret that this work, whatever form it may be, is work; be it intellectual or labor, the bliss in it is in doing it. References to Gandhi’s understated (not much well known) ‘Village Swaraj’ tells the same in a different form.
