You had plans to teach at American universities post retirement. Are you pursuing that idea?
No, not really. Tell you what, I have been on the board of Unilever, HSBC, various universities. I realise that it is difficult for me to be at one place for more than ten days.
And you can't take responsibility to teach a course unless you can stay put at the university for an entire term, or at least for about two to two-and-a-half months.
I went to Stanford as a Visiting Fellow for two terms, and I gave certain lectures and also attended some classes. It was a wonderful learning after a long time. I attended a course on Mathematical Modeling in Healthcare, and another on Decision Sciences. So I spent two weeks in the fall term and two weeks in the spring term at Stanford.
