Congratulate me

The retards of social will recognize the phrase as one of many used to solicit clicks and meaningless trolling of the internet to ogle at faces or simply gape at what other people are up to.

So in high spirits I send out this world wide communique to ask those that are doing nothing but scratching their unmentionables while clicking on bait to congratulate me for the below accomplishments -


  • Occupying this planet without dying for four decades - that is right - it was my birthday today - which as matter of another perspective says I managed to not kill myself - for another year - again - that is definitely worthy of thumbs up and loads of one word comments such as Congrats!
  • I have managed to survive at my meaningless job for a decade - and not kill myself.  Congrats again!  How do you do it - could you write a book?  Please?  There is a whole gamut of organisms yearning to learn.
  • I have been reluctant to post pictures of myself - but what if I said I was hot (and I do not have the flu -not today)?  Congrats on my hotness.
  • I self promoted myself successfully as being congratulation worthy - on this blog - and that clearly deserves a Congrats - again!
  • I finally communicated with my (living) spouse to tell her how hot she also is - and congratulated her for something that  I cannot remember - but the point is I should get a return congrats just for that effort.
  • Finally I did all this at the expense of millions of creatures who hold bogus, inflated, high profile Silicon Valley company stock.  CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Of chocolates

I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.

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...
