If I could do whatever I wanted....
.... this is what I would be doing for a living. There is fascinating new work in cracking the Indus valley language code. Scientists and linguists have been poking at this elephant like the proverbial blind men for almost a century now. With the exponential increase in computing power, we may soon be able to bludgeon this problem into submission. We could solve once and for all the mystery of the origins of the Indus valley civilization and prove or disprove the various theories such as aryan migration. We may soon see the Harappan equivalent of the Rosetta Stone. I just hope that popular culture in India comes up with something better than 'Hosetta Stone'. I am quite sick and tired of the Bollywood, Kollywood, Tollywood sequence.
