Was Jesus Chinese?

Today is April 1.  It is also Easter Sunday.

What better time than today to discuss what may have been.  As in where did Jesus come from?  More importantly where did Jesus go?  And then where did he come back from?  What is the meaning of the word 'Easter'?

Such vexing questions are answered in the recent archeological digs in Beijing.  Now for those uneducated about what that is - it is the capital of China a large country in Asia.  Formerly called Peking it is where today's culinary delight like Peking Duck was born.  Not the actual duck which perished long ago but the name of the dish.

Now my readings of the archeological findings suggest that Easter comes from the fact that Jesus in fact was reborn on this Sunday (there was a Wi Fi enabled clock that was found in the digs showing the day stuck on Sunday 0/0/0000)  as well as some holy DNA found near a cave in Beijing (not to mention that there are still some holes in the theory).

To the uninformed Beijing is East of Jerusalem (Jesus' first abode).  Hence the phrase Easter Sunday.  Hence credence to the fact that Jesus was by second birth basically Chinese.

There has been debate on whether he actually had gone from Jerusalem and made his way all the way to Peking in 3 days but considering they had wifi back then although spotty (part of the reason he left the cave) suggests they also had high speed transport along the former wooded route (later called the Silk Road) where he found some duck to eat. So that suggests the bunny idea is a mere marketing ploy crafted by Hershey and Nestle to dupe the modern day kids and sell all the chocolate that they made after they stole the cacao pods from Africa.

In fact some crackpot researchers have gone on to doubt and debate the Peking idea suggesting in fact he made it to Kiev which is due north of Jerusalem (blaming it on a bad compass when Jesus in fact wanted to go east- after all that is where Buddha came from and he wanted to go learn his ideas).  Kiev is capital of modern Ukraine.  He therefore it claims feasted on Chicken Kiev another folklore dish popular today.  Again no bunnies.

That said it is confirmed that the bunny and Easter associations are false and that Jesus certainly was a Mandarin speaker.

Then again this could all be an April Fool's joke?

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...

A few good books

 On an informal mission to read one book a week as long as the eyes allow for such ambition. Fiction or non is not important as long as it entertains and /or educates. To that end the past few weeks have brought a bounty in the form of some wonderful and then not so engaging literature. Among the notables are - Non fiction category: 1. Good arguments by Bo Seo (how to handle a dispute or debate the most efficient way possible) 2. Genesis by Eric Schmidt (and former US Secy of State Henry Kissinger, who recently passed) - how AI might affect our lives as we know it 3. One in a billion - Zarna Garg (an autobiographical look at an Indian born American woman with a bindi narrated in a standup format - yes it is at times cliched but still funny) Fiction: 1. Personal by Lee Child (a vigilante story with Jack Reacher the giant, nomad protagonist of Child's novels goes hunting for a sniper) 2. Ramayana unraveled by Ami Ganatra (she might disagree about it being a work of fiction but oh wel...
