Things to look forward to

Some reasons why it would help to not listen to the media unless you are looking forward to such information - 1. A laborious conversation on the race (pun intentional) of several shooters will be held by every air head out there 2. Another continuation of the seriously idiotic debate on whether rape is legitimate and its impact on the vote 3. A mind numbing kerchief twisting discussion on whether the Federal Reserve deserves to preserve the monetary makeup or let it go to the dogs (not the kosher kind) 4. Take your pick of nude pics - from Prince Harry (why anyone wants to look at him clothed is debatable much less with less), to any of the other accidental Hollywood celebs who spend more on less (clothing) 5. All manners of stripped titles/medals will be sold on eBay as bullion (buyers would need to watch for what is stripped else face a lemon) since all currencies will have no value 6. The robot from MARS will discover its nice out there and send a beam and destroy all the stuPADS on earth in case one of them decided to bring it back 7. The Mayans who have been in hiding under a mountain in the Atacama desert will re-emerge late Dec, have a new year party and begin writing the next chapter in the demise of the same planet after another 1000 years

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...
