But, Harvard doesn’t actually have that great of a math department? Which I guess is why they are hiring this dim young dude. He could never get a job at MIT or Princeton.

Also, when my sister was at MIT the math department had an annual Valentine’s Day Dance Dance Revolution Contest with the Harvard Math Department, and half the time Harvard didn’t even show up and MIT won by default.

Vedic Math from Wikipedia:
“Vedic Mathematics is a book written by the Indian monk Bharati Krishna Tirtha, and first published in 1965. It contains a list of mathematical techniques, which the author claimed were retrieved from the Vedas and supposedly contained all mathematical knowledge. These claims have been since rejected in their entirety.”

What I like is that Sid is beginning to ignore work for personal. He just hasn’t figured out yet that your friend’s biggest life challenge is never as important as your son’s soccer game.
What I don’t like is Sid’s Future Cardigan

I’m a little mad at this film, he can’t exactly make the best decisions when he doesn’t know his schedule or what he is supposed to do.
LikeLiked by 1 person
But that’s the point! Life moves fast, you have to just deal with what is in front of you. If your son says “promise me you will be at my soccer game”, then you don’t need to know anything else, that is obviously the most important thing.

Don’t promise if you don’t know your schedule I guess.

I think it symbolizes that the writer/director has a British background. And maybe also a general sort of disconnected feeling? Life moves faster there, and slower in India? Something about Ram Kapoor’s point of London being cold and lonely way at the start?
