The Shower Curtain Effect
Ever wonder why the shower curtain moves inward when you are in the shower when it should be the other way around? It may seem like a frivolous question but digging around for the answers led Dr. David Schmidt of University of Massachusetts to a 2001 Ig Nobel Prize (doesn’t help the frivolous accusation though). [...]

Patriotism
“Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.” – George Bernard Shaw [source: QOTD].
True. It is true of any so-called patriot be it immigration-hating Red State-ers or cyber-cafe thrashing Shiv Sainiks.

Beastly Men with Hot Wives
Just treat this as a minor quibble (maybe it shouldn’t be) from my web surfing observations yesterday. I was scrolling down the front page of Indianpad and noticed a story that had already amassed ten votes. The story was headlined ‘In pics: Beauty and the Beast’ so I assumed either it was someone’s tongue-in-cheek commentary [...]

‘A’ Names
Three of my friends recently became dads (shows how far behind in the curve I am) and all of them named their kids starting with the letter ‘A’ – Aayushi, Aarya, Ananya. Also, all were girls. Of course this can be a mere coincidence but one of them confessed that they were advised to name [...]

Throwing Away Food
Sad to see this news come from a state that I’ll be soon closely associated with:
BHUBANESWAR: In a country where millions go to bed hungry, Rs 1 million worth of food meant as a holy offering at Orissa’s Jagannath temple was destroyed on Friday because a foreigner had entered it — an act seen as [...]

“Sorry I haven’t blogged in a while”
Almost every veteran blogger has gone through this. But it is the excuses they offer that makes it so much fun.
This guy says he hasn’t blogged in awhile because he’s busy becoming a full-time blogger. [LINK]
It must be because I haven’t done much around the house to brag about! The place still looks the same, [...]

Rains Again
I was stranded in Houston this past weekend and had to bunk work and classes due to heavy rainfall that hit the area. Stranded might be a extreme word, it was more like comfortable ensconced at Ash’s apartment. Last time I attempted to drive through lashing rains, I was nearly creamed by the 18-wheeler that [...]

A Sign of Beauty
The concept of light-skinned as a sign of beauty is not unique to India although we tend to practice it in a more obvious way through our matrimonial ads or face creams. Unfortunately, African Americans in the United States also face a similar problem. More often than not, this misconception is also found to be [...]

Death onstage
Gene Janson, a Chicago stage mainstay with decades of acting
experience, collapsed during the Oct. 4 performance of a production of
Gore Vidal’s The Best Man, dying later at a nearby hospital.
Mr. Janson played a former U.S. President in the Vidal drama. Ironically, his character dies midway through the play [source].
Now, that’s irony. It is every workoholic’s [...]

Michael Cera is the only bright spark in an otherwise listless comedy.
