IF

Bombay is Mumbai - should Bollywood be Mumbailakdi? Madras is Chennai so what of Madurai? Could it be Charas? It would help to smoke some to get answers to these riddles. Who and why does someone mess with what is? Is it because someone had to? Since the ipad idea was taken there was nothing else to do? Because world hunger is a rhetorical issue to solve? If $100 bought only 1 INR (Rupee) would India ask Americans trying to get in to have an Orange Card? Would Americans want to get in? Will we face a veggie crisis with cows running amuck since many swear off of beef? Will Bajaj suddenly have monopoly over all Rickshaw sales in Manhattan? Would Geithner or his successor balk at allowing Bajaj to take over the Raj? Would Detroit reappoint Rick Wagoner as head of Government Motors and produce their own version of the Rick's Shaw II? Maybe brand it as S(h)awTooth akin to the new Corvette StingRay? How would traffic in Times Square look like with a steady supply of unconsumed beef wandering in and out of Toys R Us? Would the Brooklyn bridge be inundated with Pan Spittles displacing the bird life to find another toilet? Would Mcdonalds also sell Mitha Paan?

Of chocolates

I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.

Columbia SC

 The Palmetto state.  One of the confederate kinds. History dating couple centuries back.  We visited the capital yet again this time to take in the SC State Museum. Occupying the former digs (literally remodeled) of an erstwhile cotton mill this structure is an amazing piece of reimagination.  Four floors of excitement for kids and young at heart alike. Located on the shores of the Congaree River formed when the Broad meets up with the Saluda River, this edifice is approx. 60 years old.  The front of the building has a more modern planetarium that was added about a decade ago.  The museum itself has different areas of interest segregated on each of its four floors. The first floor has gift shop and a diorama of some of the local geography including the swamps and the state beaches with audio guides to help understand what fauna thrives locally. The second floor is all about natural history and showcases animal kingdom that may have survived on this latitud...
