A happy new year to you too and have a great Sankranti. Thanks for all the fish over the past year.
I was reading Bee's blog and found the following:
"Some years ago I was at a physics conference and was sharing a table with nine other people, from several European countries, and from North and South America. I can’t quite recall how the topic came up but upon try it turned out all of us knew the Pater Noster by heart, though everybody in his native language and though most of us were not attending church. It found it astonishing to realize we shared this common knowledge though it had nothing to do with the reason of us meeting in the first place."
I realized that I knew it by heart too; had to recite it every day for five years of school. Could you ask Balu why he thinks Bee's group knew it by heart? What's your opinion?
