Shashi does a nice job. It takes him a couple of moments to settle down, but then he throws out a couple of zingers. Ah, Shashi, it would have been good to have you as the Secretary General!

On Valentine’s Day, you can determine if you have “true romance and poetry” in your soul. Ready? Look at the Google logo on the left. Do you see the L?
According to Google’s Doodle creator, he didn’t forget the letter, the stem is supposed to be the L. If you don’t see it, don’t worry […]

Another benefit of changing tracks, working from home and being all creative?
– Not having to actually leave the house in the freezing cold if you don’t want to! Yay!
New York has been insanely cold and it is worse since I just spent a few weeks in glorious Madras. 12 degrees is just too much for […]
