I cannot believe the jargon that spews out of the variety of mouths occupying space on this planet. Not only do they occupy and then highlight it as such but they also contribute dramatically to the issue of global warming. If they all kept quiet I think Antarctic penguins might continue to have a home? Perhaps more people could at some point move to Iceland?
Getting back to jargon - enough has not been said about the notion of SAME SEX marriages - make that marriages in general.
I mean first it was the quintessential question from the uninformed to any Indian that showed up with a spouse on American shores - Was your marriage arranged? Now how to answer this loaded one depends on your mindset. I for one chose to go the route of - It was certainly not Disarranged.
Whatever that informs the questioner is left to the intellect of the questioner - not my problem.
Then we move onto the more arcane world of SAME SEX. First of all the notion of sex in a marriage is so vague and subjective as to cause the use of words like Sex and Marriage in the same arrangement to be beyond absurd.
Nonetheless lets dive in here - what does the three letter arrangement mean? What is same about sex? If it is (same) why continue to pursue said exertion? Then again why bother marrying to find out what sameness feels like? Also why talk about it? More importantly why fight for it? What is the big deal folks?
Then someone tapped me on the shoulder and clarified that it was not the SAMENESS but that they were referring to HOMOSEXUAL nature of marriage. Which further confused me - I mean we are all HOMO SAPIENS. Then why keep calling it HOMO anything? Are there other arrangements I missed reading about?

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...
Homo sapiens keep finding new ways to exhibit our lack of intelligence.
