I am not gaga about organic. If past blogs are any indication I think I will stick to what sticks .. to my gut that is. I am not entirely sure how the organic food movement got started (using 'movement' is actually comical when food is involved in the same sentence) but it surely has a lot of followers.
Among the grocers that stock their shelves with this biodegradable mass (as compared to other grocers that sell all the inorganic stuff) there are some with quirky names like 'Whole Foods'. I mean what is the Whole story here? Am I for one eating partial foods? I would much rather eat a bunch of partials to make up my meal than a whole of something. Wouldn't you agree? I mean it should get pretty boring with the whole idea of getting a whole meal or else?
I am not even sure that is the whole truth. I mean with prices that are substantially higher than the non Whole variety I am not sure if the whole paycheck will last to get the whole thing home.
Then there is the questionable design of their parking lots. They seem to be designed for folks to come on a bicycle and if not you end up taking more than one stall. I don't drive an army surplus vehicle or one of those utilities titled after the great American Mountains (e.g. Yukon and Denali) but a smallish sedan and still have to worry about my side mirrors (yes I use those things) not taking out somebody else's.
So while not adopting a 'Holier than Thou' attitude I think there is quite a LOT to be deisred from a less than WHOLEsome experience!
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...
The whole thing is that ke bhaiya sabse bada rupiah..someone's making a whole lot more, no?
