Smells Like a Man…
The other day, we went to an Indian grocery store in Seattle. In addition to replenishing our spice stocks, and picking up a few veggies that are difficult to find in regular grocery stores (and what turned out to be … Continue reading
If ‘The Donald’ Were a Book, He’d be a Bestseller
(An earlier version of this article was published in Naradanews.com ) When I read The Bestseller Code recently, it felt oddly familiar. It reminded me of Donald Trump. This new book analyzes the secrets of bestselling novels. Authors Jodie Archer … Continue reading
What a Night! Paul McCartney at Candlestick
August 14, 2014: the last day for Candlestick. The obsolete stadium’s going to be torn down. It went out in style, with a concert by Sir Paul McCartney. The concert quickly sold out, of course, and we hadn’t thought to … Continue reading
My Suitcase is a Dinosaur
“Your suitcase is a dinosaur,” Usha said as she helped me haul it into the back of her van. It looks like it. My sturdy grey Samsonite is maybe 20 years old. It’s heavy and has only two wheels, so … Continue reading
New Product: Berries, Memories
The other day, I found this new product at our local grocery store: Pichuberry (TM). The box described it as a “newly-discovered Super Fruit.” It came from Colombia. The Latin name is Physalis Peruviana. I hadn’t seen these newly-discovered berries in … Continue reading
Fire, Drones, and 3-D Printing: Maker Faire, SF Bay Area
I’d never been to the Maker Faire before, though it’s held annually and I’ve been hearing about it. It’s a fair for people who make things, whether from Legos or junk or fabric or wood or electronic parts. It sounded … Continue reading
Pinnacle Conference 2014 – IIM Alumni
Every year, IIM Americas, the alumni organization for the 13 Indian Institutes of Management, holds an annual conference. My husband Ambi and I generally try to go. (We were classmates; he’s an alum too.) The organization’s come a long way … Continue reading
No More Polio in India
Possibly the most hopeful piece of news I’ve seen out of India today is that poliomyelitis may be a thing of the past there. They’ve had no cases for three years. This is excellent. When I was a child, the … Continue reading
Corruption Perceptions
Transparency International‘s (TI) anually updated Corruption Perceptions Index covers 180 countries, give or take a few. In 2012, it ranked 176 countries. In the last few years, I’ve been following its scoring for India, and more particularly, whether perceived corruption … Continue reading
Was I Chatting with a Bank of America Robot?
I’m just back from a trip to Burma / Myanmar and Singapore, of which more in subsequent posts. But it left me with some stuff to catch up on, including a payment to our accountant. It should have taken me … Continue reading
