Puzzles and Riddles

Is UNESCO dead? Don't hear much about them anymore. If a famous author gets arrested do the publishers immediately issue a recall and update the bio to reflect - He now lives at Rikers Island Maximum Security Prison with his dog Fondue. If at any point the earth implodes where will all the (airborne) planes land? When is P&G inventing diapers for dogs? I am sick of people behaving badly. Can Bill Gates just walk up to the UN and one day buy Antarctica, Africa and Australia and be done with it? Then he can call it the Gated Compound and it would be easy for dumb kids in school to memorize only 5 continents. In fact if he is feeling really chipper he can partner with Buffett and they can pretty much buy the rest of the continents and a whole lot of bullshit history and geography will go out of school curriculums. The Gates Buffet Empire will rule planet earth and that is that. I am sick and tired of keeping track of different currencies and moronic governments and their flags and their kings and their queens and their stupid cultures. Most of all the idiocy of the EuroZone. Earth is run by Gates - Buffett and that is it. One flag (if you are picky) - one name - one planet - one rule. Screw the rest of the idiots. If you don't like it you are booted out to the Gates Space Station or optionally put to death (you get a choice of three ways to end it at no cost to you). Lets get creative folks and use all those billions wisely!

    Maybe that's what the 2012 prophecy is all about..the end of the world as we know it!

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...

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...
