World Politics

My understanding of any type of politics = Zero.  I know that I know nothing to quote a famous greek.  With that liberating disclosure I can proceed to expound on matters of gravitas that people with inflated egos have been churning out ad nauseum.

Based on recently released hot air below are the headlines.


  • Kim of North Korea has the world by its genitals.
  • Kim of North Korea has a change of heart and is weeping after noticing his people dying - low end vinegar spoiled all the 'Kimchi' causing food poisoning.
  • Kim shows the world media he has launched missiles.
  • Kim has called the Americans to come watch him blow up his bomb making labs.
  • Kim has the best hackers who can create any video they want and hack wherever, whenever.
  • Therefore one can conclude that Kim actually has never owned anything except cheap looking polyester suits and walmart style black glass frames (with no glass in it) and is putting up a fake melodrama for the world press to come and video tape.  He is simply going to blow up a bunch of dirt painted to look like bombs.  That is his calculus.  Notice both words - gravitas and calculus are thrown in for no apparent reason other than to inflate my ego.
In other news - An emissary went to Washington from Pyongyang.
  • Kim sent a letter to Trump asking if he wants a gluten free meal when they meet in Singapore.
  • Kim wants to shop in Singapore or his wife will divorce him.
  • Trump wants to shop in the same store that Kim will be shopping so he can show him how his new trade policy is making it easier to buy things made in the USA but in a mall in Singapore.
  • Therefore they end up buying Kirkland /Costco branded hot dogs on the cheap like never before and take that to the party.
  • Another part of the note asked Donald to bring the American Kim to the party.  Kardashian declined.  There was no room for two Kim sized egos.

On the go(zay masta) in Japan again

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...

Presumptive Society

Today's world is hyper connected.  I am not so sure what it means but you hear it a lot.  It is probably hyper but not sure how connected it is.  Sugar (fermented or not) is available in many ways than before and so getting hyper is easy.  It is probably more a threat than cocaine since it is sold legally. And what is this connected stuff?  Most people I encounter seem disconnected from reality.  So going back to this assumption that we are connected there are subtle and no so subtle instances of how brands and companies and middle men try to portray someone - A linkedin profile for somebody working for X years at a place advertises to the connected network that so and so is CELEBRATING X years @ Such and Such Inc. Do we know if (s)he is celebrating or cringing?  Perhaps a better way to portray will be - So and So LASTED X years @ such & such inc. Then it exhorts the readership to go ahead and congratulate them for this lasting effe...

The Central State aka MP

Narmada river and site of Omkareshwar Indore Rajwada or palace of the Lady Holkar   Somewhat geographically centered in India is the hot landscape of MADHYA PRADESH. A region I had a faint memory of visiting as a young lad eons ago. Now in my (along with my best half) quest to get to know lands far and wide I got an opportunity to visit Indore city and surrounding areas in MP. It begins with an evening visit to a bustling old market selling native snacks both savory and sweet. It is the realm of jewelers who run night time street side restaurants once they close their primary operations at dusk. Think of it as desi style block party that I am told goes into wee hours of the morning. My impression was it is worth one visit.  The humid and hot ambience along with crush of humanity doesn’t make for a pleasant dining experience but the sheer variety of foods sort of makes up for it. From piping hot coconut filled fritters to oodles of milk based sweet confections, I gorged on item...
