Dawg gon it!

What's with the partial discrimination by the local 'parks and recreation' folks in my city? I am certainly feeling not recreated.

There is a new trend to invest dollars into DOG PARKS where the social mingling and dating kicks off both for the animal and its owner.

What about those of us who do not like Dogs - own Dogs - or any other creature on more than 2 legs (or for that matter on 2 legs that does not use a toilet)?

I am sick and tired of these people with dogs that have an exclusive club to visit but can also take liberties with letting their pet loose in a 'community park' which technically allows for all forms of life to 'enjoy and recreate' in the surrounds. Even more annoying is the habit of these dog owners to assume that everyone on this planet is somehow as enamored with their four legged critter as they are. Hence no leash in many cases - whence the animal takes off in complete abandon - not that it knows not to - with its owners partaking the scene with a sense of wonder.

These animals then commence to lick humans or run into them at full tilt since their current existence stuck with the smelly dude or dudess (read owners) has not impressed them much - they want to park (for a leak I guess) and recreate too.

I really pity all animals that have to spend their existence inside a house (not of their choosing) when they were really designed to be outdoor enthiusiasts in the first place.

Can I introduce the idea of a DOG FREE (make that PET FREE) park where mortals like me can enjoy some solitude without having to wonder if their shoes will encounter liquids because some other species decided to use it for a post?

Or get 30 lbs of brute energy ram into your knees when you least expect it?

Did I mention these guys can be real fast and stealthy?

On the go(zay masta) in Japan again

Cool cat the Japanese are Tokyo at dusk  My second visit to this land of the rising sun after almost a decade. Back then clearly I was wet behind the ears product manager and likely didn’t pay attention to all (efficient) things Japanese. But today I did and of course continue to be impressed. It is as much the obvious stuff like on time travel that is both clean and comfortable and all that which makes it possible. The impressive landmark and landscapes that these humans have put together despite their cramped (or because of it) surroundings and precarious geological conditions could amaze a novice architect among us. But it’s also the little things that someone had to think about which have a phenomenal impact on day to day lives that make the Japanese stand apart. Below are few random examples- 1. Providing a very fine machined wooden toothpick in every packet of wooden chopsticks. The said chapsticks are simply set on the To Go counter of any food vendor/ convenience store wher...

Presumptive Society

Today's world is hyper connected.  I am not so sure what it means but you hear it a lot.  It is probably hyper but not sure how connected it is.  Sugar (fermented or not) is available in many ways than before and so getting hyper is easy.  It is probably more a threat than cocaine since it is sold legally. And what is this connected stuff?  Most people I encounter seem disconnected from reality.  So going back to this assumption that we are connected there are subtle and no so subtle instances of how brands and companies and middle men try to portray someone - A linkedin profile for somebody working for X years at a place advertises to the connected network that so and so is CELEBRATING X years @ Such and Such Inc. Do we know if (s)he is celebrating or cringing?  Perhaps a better way to portray will be - So and So LASTED X years @ such & such inc. Then it exhorts the readership to go ahead and congratulate them for this lasting effe...

The Central State aka MP

Narmada river and site of Omkareshwar Indore Rajwada or palace of the Lady Holkar   Somewhat geographically centered in India is the hot landscape of MADHYA PRADESH. A region I had a faint memory of visiting as a young lad eons ago. Now in my (along with my best half) quest to get to know lands far and wide I got an opportunity to visit Indore city and surrounding areas in MP. It begins with an evening visit to a bustling old market selling native snacks both savory and sweet. It is the realm of jewelers who run night time street side restaurants once they close their primary operations at dusk. Think of it as desi style block party that I am told goes into wee hours of the morning. My impression was it is worth one visit.  The humid and hot ambience along with crush of humanity doesn’t make for a pleasant dining experience but the sheer variety of foods sort of makes up for it. From piping hot coconut filled fritters to oodles of milk based sweet confections, I gorged on item...
