Arjun's before Levis

So continuing to ruminate on the theme of how life was 3k years before the carpenter made an appearance is endlessly fascinating.

Once kings started realizing the delays caused on the tarmac before war were due to ketchup spills on fine silk which itself posed other strategic challenges during action, someone came up with Arjuns.  This was the name given to a piece of durable and long wear cloth that did not need washing since everything looked haute couture.

It was later misspelled as Jeans by Levis.  During the days of Mahabharata folks had already discovered Rjuns.  That Arjun later got royalties after the war was over was oversimplifying.  He therefore had the best deal going with Draupadi - with fine wine and dining any time she desired -who found that the other four were not as enterprising as Arjun spending time in '23 hour fitness' et al.  The remaining one hour each on average was spent with Draupadi if you know what I mean.

Kaikeyi was always in hospital growing up since she hit the all time high of delivring a 100 kids that were battle ready... so it is surprising that she was also able to pull off back seat politics with Shakuni as the PM.

I mean Kaikeyi's pregnancies should be part of any defense contractor how-to training material.  Forget Sun Tsu and others who simply wrote some drivel.  This was actual production scale fully deployable army.

The blue denim now so famously popular was thanks to a patent that Krishna had filed knowing what was to come before anyone did.  This is where his skin tone played a crucial role and everyone wanted to look like him.  Krishna let Arjun use the color for his new fabric brand after winning the war.  That was all part of the deal.

It was going to be called Krishan Arjuns and company but accidentally they speared the only CPA at the time and the incorporation never took place.

Shakuni tried to get into the gig being an accountant in former life but was disqualified due to his crimes against humanity.

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...

Greasy Dra'ch'ma

With all the furor in the media around Greece for the past couple of years I thought it would be good to list all things Greek that people use in common parlance - 1. Some of us are familiar with Greek history as being where the world's largest organized scam was born - called the Olympics. At the time this courier delivered a message by running a large number of miles and that got converted into a spectator sport. Nobody thought about what this implied? Fedex does not use any of the marathon runners instead relying on bio diesel trucks so not sure where we went from courier delivery to extracting money for tickets to watch people balance themselves on a pommel horse - which by the way is quite different from a Trojan Horse - 2. which brings me to the next invention from Greek mythology that finds use today - except used in the computer virus arena. This innocuos program is accepted by a computer since it looks friendly only to unleash undesirable effects leading to loss of s...
