Life is a Cabaret

Over the top glitz.


Money sucking leaches.


Skimpily clad is business as usual.


Botox, Eye Lashes, Face Paint and other body shaping and altering ideas are par for the course.


Smoke wherever - doobie included.


Stoned, hazed, loud, rowdy, glazed is a constant state of mind.




Las Vegas! 


Many properties owned by Jewish multi billionaires and sometimes by Trump.  Food so so regardless of their stars and reviews.  Did I mention over priced?




Spent a work week in LV, trying to stay cool and productive during the beyond hot and dry summer day time while stepping out for the evening frivolities and strolls when the desert wind kicked in.




The Greenbacks hanging out with their money
Loud and in your face interior decor is de rigeur to fill the larger than large spaces decorated with red and velvet carpets amidst a sea of marble tiles and silk drapes and chandeliers.  Mosaic artwork along walls including some paintings chosen by the decorator further adorned the walls not already occupied by Chanel, Hermes and Loubouton.




Massive amount of air is cooled and streamed through hallways and passages that curve and confuse and always try to lead you to a slot nachine or a baccarrat or roulette table as you pass befuddled to your intended destination.  Where was I going again?




Caught a razzle dazzle show one night called the 'Show Stoppers' that comprised a sort of medley of famous broadway musicals.  Orchestra was more like a big band with lot of shiny brass and the dancers did not disappoint.  In terms of the metal on them.




Some females could hold their octaves and sang real well, all had to be skinny and close to 70 pounds so as to be lifted by the male counterpart during many a routine.



Ask the purple velvet coats for directions and opening hours and you got five answers depending on which hallway you found a guy to ask.  That I thought was sloppy but I suppose they did not expect a
sober couple to ask them anything.

But What If We're Wrong?

I attempted to read this book by author Chuck Klosterman backward to forward but it started hurting my brain so I decided to stop and do it like any other publication in the English language.  Start from page 1 and move to the right. Witty, caustic and thought provoking this is a book you want to read if you believe that the status quo might, just might be wrong. At times bordering on being contrarian about most things around us it tries to zero in on the notion of what makes anything believable and certain in our minds.  The fact that there is a fact itself is ironic.  Something analogous to the idea that you can never predict the future because there is no future. Many books and movies have tried to play on this concept - best that I recollect (I think I am) was 'The Truman Show'.  This book by Klosterman attempts to provoke the reader to at least contemplate that what they think they know may be wrong. He uses examples like concept of gravity, and how it ...

Peru, South America - Week well spent

Growing up in India the only Peru I knew of was a tropical fruit (Guava for those whose lingua is English).   Not until high school did I discover that it was also a country in the South American continent. So it was this early April week that we decided to hit up Peru - the land of the once glorious Inca people that lived 500 years ago.  Today Peru is the third largest country on that continent with a diverse geography that stretches from the drier Pacific coast plains to the high mountains of the Andes and the Amazon river valley to its east. Our trip was primarily a pilgrimage of sorts to visit the last remaining, lost (now found and documented), large scale, mostly undamaged, city of the Inca nobility, called Machu Picchu (MP).  The Inca were great architects and builders.  MP is a UNESCO world heritage site affording it high visibility to the tourism trade and therefore crowded year round.  Our timing was not quite high season allowing us...

You are important to us

Followed by piano music.   Followed by 'we are experiencing heavier than usual call volume'.  Sounds macabre like bleeding during menstruation or after a ghastly attack with a weapon on a hemophiliac.  Sorry Mrs. Johnson but it appears little Gertrude here has been bleeding heavier than usual what with her night time activities competing with the woodchucks in your neighborhood. Some services even go as far as to pick a random day to say - 'if you were to call us during the Chinese lunar month when the moon is axiomatically hugging the polar star with Jupiter intravenous when call volume is light'.  Well I will be damned.  I thought  I had checked with my astrologer before I placed this well focused call but  I guess this is what you get for listening to a quack. Umph! I am not sure which marketing genius came up with this personal touch concept of informing the caller that you are really a jackass for actually calling the customer serv...
