The Great Ganesha

It’s been almost five months since I last posted here. And I’m not sure if I’m going to post for another five. But just got back from Barcelona and have around 2,500 pics to sort through.

So we are having Spring Break. It’s a relief not to have to deal with the clamour of students. Although, over time it does become white noise and you can block it out (I’m from Bombay).

John Roberts made the cover of Time this week, in an article that asks about the relevancy of the Supreme Court today. But that’s not what I’m writing about. Is it me, or does John Roberts look like Greg Kinnear? Dammit, every time I look at Roberts, I think it’s Kinnear!

I’m off to New York, New York for a week for some work, a wedding and some partying. The blog may see intermittent postings if I get time. But don’t worry, I’ll make it up when I get back. That’s a promise.
Meanwhile, here’s an excellent Goodness Gracious Me sketch (one of my favorites, [...]

An article from two weekends ago in the WSJ talks about what happens to a marriage as technology gets more and more programmed for individual use. If you’re married, you know where this is going. He likes techno, she likes rock. He likes sci fi, she likes romantic comedies. And that leads us to some [...]
