Kale and Kombucha

Could pass of as a limited liability partnership of accountants or bail bondsmen in Kampala, Uganda with Messrs Kale (a person of Maharashtrian origin and therefore more cerebral) and Kombucha (the muscle) teaming up in a good guy, bad guy routine.

But it is far from it.  Kale pronounced as Kail is a green leafy vegetable that has had a resurgence in the American health market as a super nutrient with loads of vitamins that might do someone good.  While a staple of some European diets in varying forms its recent entry as a superfood that can be consumed as a juice (assuming consumee has the right tools to juice a leaf) has drawn interest from a lot of yoga pant wearing crowd.

Add Kombucha to this.  This one is a mystery ingredient that is essentially a fermented goop arising from bacteria working on either tea or some form of seaweeds to produce what may be another cancer fighting wonder drug.

These two K's are now the new killer breed of bottled wonders that has America on the coast going bonkers.  I am not sure if folks in the Ozarks or the plains consume this stuff.  I know they do not drive Teslas.

Our government might be well served to ignore minting a trillion dollar coin to avert debt crises for now and invest in Kale and Kombucha futures as a means of jacking up another bubble in the commodities space.

Build large vaults that can freeze both ingreditents in volume rather than cooling data centers and we will be set.

I for one is going to now go and eat myself a large Haagen-Dazs - which is not a Dutch cake rather a popular brand of American made ice cream.

But What If We're Wrong?

I attempted to read this book by author Chuck Klosterman backward to forward but it started hurting my brain so I decided to stop and do it like any other publication in the English language.  Start from page 1 and move to the right. Witty, caustic and thought provoking this is a book you want to read if you believe that the status quo might, just might be wrong. At times bordering on being contrarian about most things around us it tries to zero in on the notion of what makes anything believable and certain in our minds.  The fact that there is a fact itself is ironic.  Something analogous to the idea that you can never predict the future because there is no future. Many books and movies have tried to play on this concept - best that I recollect (I think I am) was 'The Truman Show'.  This book by Klosterman attempts to provoke the reader to at least contemplate that what they think they know may be wrong. He uses examples like concept of gravity, and how it ...

You are important to us

Followed by piano music.   Followed by 'we are experiencing heavier than usual call volume'.  Sounds macabre like bleeding during menstruation or after a ghastly attack with a weapon on a hemophiliac.  Sorry Mrs. Johnson but it appears little Gertrude here has been bleeding heavier than usual what with her night time activities competing with the woodchucks in your neighborhood. Some services even go as far as to pick a random day to say - 'if you were to call us during the Chinese lunar month when the moon is axiomatically hugging the polar star with Jupiter intravenous when call volume is light'.  Well I will be damned.  I thought  I had checked with my astrologer before I placed this well focused call but  I guess this is what you get for listening to a quack. Umph! I am not sure which marketing genius came up with this personal touch concept of informing the caller that you are really a jackass for actually calling the customer serv...

Of Jims and Johns

Here is another essay on the subject of first names. As in birth names. Or names provided to an offspring at birth. While the developed world tends to shy away from the exotic like Refrigerator or Coca Cola for their new production there is a plethora of Jims and Johns and Bobs or Robs. Speaking of which I do not think there is a categoric decision point at the time of birth if a child will be hereafter called as Bob. I mean have not yet met a toddler called Bob or Rob for that matter. At some point though the parental instinct to mouth out multiple syllables runs out and they switch from calling the crawler Robert to simply Robbie to Rob. Now speaking of - it is strange that the name sounds like something you would not want Rob to do - i.e. Rob anyone. Then why call someone that? After all Rob Peter to Pay Paul is not exactly a maxim to live a young life? Is it? Perhaps Peter or Paul might want to have a say in it? Then there is this matter of going to the John. Why degrad...
