4. Welcome to the USA

1. Artificial Imagination

The word artificial originally meant "artful, crafty." That's an apt description of ARTIFICIAL IMAGINATION, which blends art, craft and wit into a narrative that teaches us life lessons that we did not know we knew. ..................Richard Lederer, author of Anguished English

A delight to read. Very Entertaining, though a bit whimsical. But the humor is very addictive and the book flows so well that it is hard to put down. The picutres and photographs lure you to continue reading, and you keep trying to decipher the sprinkle of mysteries, including what Artificial Imagination really is.Story of a modern nomad who does not mind trading one job for another thousands of miles away, is willing to take risks, enjoys people and appreciates life as it comes! Whether you are looking for light reading, or want to read something which makes you think, I would highly recommend it. ..............Jim Pinto, Technology Futurist, Speaker and Author

ABC Interviews Kalpanik on his book Artificial Imagination

A beautiful university campus in California. A young girl who needs help writing computer programs for her class. A foreign born who has traveled thousand of miles at the young age of 21 to design computers which can imagine.

An old world romantic confused by the new definition of love in the brave new world. A true story which is better than any fiction.

It begins as a story of an ambitious young man traveling to a land far away and falling in love. It unfolds in the fast moving Hi-Tech technology world of California.
Ambition. Aspiration. Youth. Passion. Attraction. Love. They all come together in this wonderful tale with the backdrop of several beautfiul California cities.

Book Review of Welcome to the USA by John Lehman,the author of Everything is changing and the founder of Rosebud magazine

I was half way through this book when I realized it is poetry in the form of prose. I am not just referring to the two or three sentence paragraphs which are verse like, but the imaginative leaps, stunning imagery and most importantly, words which hook us in, make us think this is our story . . . . We see them on the page but live them in the theater of our imagination. This book reminds us that we share the mysteries of the human mind and soul, no matter what our occupation, no matter where we were born. "Why I am here may appear to be a simple question, but . . . is there a deeper purpose of being where we are?" We know that the question applies not only to the location where we spend our lives, but also to overall existence, and our place in the time continuum. Just as the author who traveled from New Delhi to Silicon Valley felt he has traveled forty years into the future, so do I, sitting in the agricultural landscape of Wisconsin feel I have had a glimpse into the vitality of the Hi-Tech worlds of California and Seattle.

I feel I am in the hands of a good guide. Here is what it means to do research in Computers: "Rip apart an electronic system and you see nothing moving, nothing vibrating, it's almost a make-believe world, a child's fantasy, a writer's imagination. The only thing that makes you believe it works",

and what it means to yearn for acceptance: "I looked at Seattle's glistening skyline on one side and its beautiful waterfront on the other and asked it the same questions I had asked San Francisco sixteen years ago: will it accept me? Or will its people treat me as someone different, not one of the? And will I accept it, call it my home? Right then, she appeared from no where, as if the city had sent her to answer my questions . . . her friends were giggling as she approached me with a bashful smile, stretched her arm towards me, and insisted in her musical voice, 'Come dance with me. You must!"
I loved the section addressing Seattle's slacker sun, that comes late to work, like at 9 AM and goes back home at 4, the observation that for males, until the age eight, we want every pretty woman to be our mother, then for the next thirty years our friend and when we have daughters, we feel like bringing every pretty woman a glass of warm milk and cookies.
His first day in Nashville, the author looks out of his window and sees snow. The conclusion he draws about the snow flakes very fittingly describe his life and the message we can take with us from this hip, funny, poignant, beautiful book: "the snowflakes descend slowly, floating in the air, allowing the current to carry them with it, letting it change their paths. They have chosen not to confront their destiny, choosing instead to enjoy every second of their short lives, their journey to the ground."
Welcome home, Kalpanik! ......................John Lehman, author of everything is changing.
