Bankrupt

 Yes there are a lot of those floating around.  In America.

No money, no assets - many so called rich and famous ones too - underneath their Gucci's are.

But I am talking about moral or social bankruptcy.

Covid exposed this a lot.  Look at dog ownership rates.  They spiked last year. Typically normal behaving Desis also adopted this habit.  In droves.

Unless you are blind and need an animal to avoid you from stumbling why are humans hanging on to canines?

Are we really so socially bankrupt that we have to resort to a tail wagging mental organisms for company?

And not to mention the paraphernalia that goes in keeping this addendum in tip top shape.

Then there is the defecation management which gets to me.  Ownership of said animal seems to not convey taking charge of bladder movement and rectal functions on the owner.  That is left to the animal's whims and public surfaces.

Leave a mark where you go Roofus they say.

And speaking of control why are these dumb  creatures not on a leash when in public?  Some are and many are not.  It should be required to keep two poorly functioning species tied together at all times. 

Not doing so should result in jail time - just like DUI.  DWL - dog without leash.

Letting one loose is dangerous to all other citizens going about their humdrum lives.

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...

The Central State aka MP

Narmada river and site of Omkareshwar Indore Rajwada or palace of the Lady Holkar   Somewhat geographically centered in India is the hot landscape of MADHYA PRADESH. A region I had a faint memory of visiting as a young lad eons ago. Now in my (along with my best half) quest to get to know lands far and wide I got an opportunity to visit Indore city and surrounding areas in MP. It begins with an evening visit to a bustling old market selling native snacks both savory and sweet. It is the realm of jewelers who run night time street side restaurants once they close their primary operations at dusk. Think of it as desi style block party that I am told goes into wee hours of the morning. My impression was it is worth one visit.  The humid and hot ambience along with crush of humanity doesn’t make for a pleasant dining experience but the sheer variety of foods sort of makes up for it. From piping hot coconut filled fritters to oodles of milk based sweet confections, I gorged on item...
