Here I provide some contacts and information for my young new Indian friends and all; some pictures, including some wonderful pentagonal tilings I found on the path to the Guest House, the ever busy and calm organizer Kaushal Verma, and my student host Devang Rammohan, who met me at the airport at 5 am and took me back at midnight. I&#8217;m grateful to all the organizers and participants for their role in this inspiring vision of the future of science in India and beyond.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Frank Morgan website:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/math.williams.edu\/morgan\">http:\/\/math.williams.edu\/morgan<\/a><\/p>\n<p>email: <a href=\"mailto:Frank.Morgan@williams.edu\">Frank.Morgan@williams.edu<\/a>\u00a0(I hope that those with tutorial submissions and those without will email me questions and comments or post them below.)<\/p>\n<p>References for my talk on &#8220;Optimal Tilings&#8221;<br \/>\n1.
