Arjun's before Levis

So continuing to ruminate on the theme of how life was 3k years before the carpenter made an appearance is endlessly fascinating.

Once kings started realizing the delays caused on the tarmac before war were due to ketchup spills on fine silk which itself posed other strategic challenges during action, someone came up with Arjuns.  This was the name given to a piece of durable and long wear cloth that did not need washing since everything looked haute couture.

It was later misspelled as Jeans by Levis.  During the days of Mahabharata folks had already discovered Rjuns.  That Arjun later got royalties after the war was over was oversimplifying.  He therefore had the best deal going with Draupadi - with fine wine and dining any time she desired -who found that the other four were not as enterprising as Arjun spending time in '23 hour fitness' et al.  The remaining one hour each on average was spent with Draupadi if you know what I mean.

Kaikeyi was always in hospital growing up since she hit the all time high of delivring a 100 kids that were battle ready... so it is surprising that she was also able to pull off back seat politics with Shakuni as the PM.

I mean Kaikeyi's pregnancies should be part of any defense contractor how-to training material.  Forget Sun Tsu and others who simply wrote some drivel.  This was actual production scale fully deployable army.

The blue denim now so famously popular was thanks to a patent that Krishna had filed knowing what was to come before anyone did.  This is where his skin tone played a crucial role and everyone wanted to look like him.  Krishna let Arjun use the color for his new fabric brand after winning the war.  That was all part of the deal.

It was going to be called Krishan Arjuns and company but accidentally they speared the only CPA at the time and the incorporation never took place.

Shakuni tried to get into the gig being an accountant in former life but was disqualified due to his crimes against humanity.

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 ...

Peru, South America - Week well spent

Growing up in India the only Peru I knew of was a tropical fruit (Guava for those whose lingua is English).   Not until high school did I discover that it was also a country in the South American continent. So it was this early April week that we decided to hit up Peru - the land of the once glorious Inca people that lived 500 years ago.  Today Peru is the third largest country on that continent with a diverse geography that stretches from the drier Pacific coast plains to the high mountains of the Andes and the Amazon river valley to its east. Our trip was primarily a pilgrimage of sorts to visit the last remaining, lost (now found and documented), large scale, mostly undamaged, city of the Inca nobility, called Machu Picchu (MP).  The Inca were great architects and builders.  MP is a UNESCO world heritage site affording it high visibility to the tourism trade and therefore crowded year round.  Our timing was not quite high season allowing us...

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...
