That's what killed the cat. But since satisfaction brought it back I decidely have continued to be curious. On further investigating some inane news (mind you this is dangerous territory in itself) I discovered that the world has been stuck with a title song from the album CURIOSITY by Carly Rae Jepsen as top of the charts at number 1.
Of course I refer to 'Call Me Maybe'. I also then on an unrelated encounter found that NASA had named their MARS rover with the same name - Curiosity. That peaked mine. Why would that be?

So as Curiosity sits and samples mud from MARS its also playing 'Call Me Maybe' to unsuspecting alien ships that troll the deep darkness of space.

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...
A Sherlock Holmes (or Watson) moment, indeed!
