Cars Fit for Women

Honda has designed their FIT to fit the women. So it seems if you believe everything you read. Women need to appear Fit all the time what with so much going ON to make them look UNFIT these days. Honda has decided to tailor their peitite car for this demographic. Never mind the FITS they have outside the car. I certainly would not want to be in their shoes. They will not fit for one (the car I mean) and besides who knows how they smell (the shoes I mean). Perhaps the FIT will help with their Work Life Balance as that too has become a cliche that gives me Fits. I wonder if the FIT then comes with oversized Vanity mirrors and a few of them (in case one gets cracked during that minor fender bender)? Plus extra storage to put 50 shades of grey (lipsticks and mascara I mean). Perhaps the entire front windshield is a mirror with driving optional. The windshield wiper fluid tank will be designed to hold Vitamin water or other electrolytes. In a pinch a special tubing will allow the battery fluids to be directed to the occupant with a straw and slake their cravings or replenish what is missing and charge them up for what lies ahead. The rear will be designed to hold several colored Yoga Mats instead of the usual cargo mats. Who knows when the inspiration might strike?

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...

Of Jims and Johns

Here is another essay on the subject of first names. As in birth names. Or names provided to an offspring at birth. While the developed world tends to shy away from the exotic like Refrigerator or Coca Cola for their new production there is a plethora of Jims and Johns and Bobs or Robs. Speaking of which I do not think there is a categoric decision point at the time of birth if a child will be hereafter called as Bob. I mean have not yet met a toddler called Bob or Rob for that matter. At some point though the parental instinct to mouth out multiple syllables runs out and they switch from calling the crawler Robert to simply Robbie to Rob. Now speaking of - it is strange that the name sounds like something you would not want Rob to do - i.e. Rob anyone. Then why call someone that? After all Rob Peter to Pay Paul is not exactly a maxim to live a young life? Is it? Perhaps Peter or Paul might want to have a say in it? Then there is this matter of going to the John. Why degrad...

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...
