Why Shorts are better than Pants
In India, you’re only as professional and reliable as your clothing. If you wear shorts in broad daylight, even if it’s to go shopping people discourage you and give you dirty looks.
“We’re not American. We shouldn’t be wearing shorts,” said a tailor when I visited his shop. He found out later that I do reside in the States and then giggled. He still insisted...

Turn off the Lights
Minneapolis will be turning off its lights. Like other cities before it, MN wants to save the lives of migrating birds.
Birds that migrate are naturally drawn to lights and often times collide with buildings or hover over them until they cannot anymore.
The interesting part is that the city spends so much time thinking about saving these migrating birds but they don’t necessarily care for...

(1) 汽車を待つ君の横で ぼくは時計を気にしてる 季節外れの雪が降ってる 「東京で見る雪はこれが最後ね」と さみしそうに君がつぶやく なごり雪も降る時を知り ふざけ過ぎた季節のあとで 今 春が来て君はきれいになった 去年よりずっときれいになった

去年よりずっときれいになった 去年よりずっときれいになった

Less Cars on the road means More Online Growth
mbox:
It’s obvious that people are drastically cutting back costs on driving. Luxury drives are reducing in the national scene and that is impacting retailers heavily.
This is a major issue for any retailer that focuses on foot traffic. Malls are empty. The roads are empty. Gas stations with lower fuel prices are REALLY packed. Life is complex.
But one place that thrives today are Internet...

The Dark Knight (Movie Review)
Well, if there ever was a must-see movie, this is it.
Why?
The Dark Knight does not try to be a sequel. The film stands on its own not only as a comic book movie but rather as a cinematic achievement of superb proportions. There is a theme of defining what a hero is throughout the film and the story unfolds in a thorough way to define all points.
But not only that, the situations Batman faces...

July 4th Irony
I ran into 3 random people in the streets of Mumbai yesterday that I knew from New York City. It was odd running into folks like that but not too hard to believe. It seems like a lot of Indians from the U.S. are now spending a lot of time in India.

Monsoon continues
The rains here in Mumbai are insane. Within a few hours of heavy pouring the streets are flooded just below the kneecaps and all flights are delayed. Reminds me of NYC when it snows.
