As the sun begins its decent into darkness, I’m lying here in my hammock relishing the final day I’ll be in Kerala. There’s nothing but the sound of a cool breeze and a few birds calling for each other. On a day like today, I just lie back and let my mind wander. I’m trying to think back to my earliest memory, but I’m not sure which one is the earliest. What about my best memory? Worst? Silliest? Maybe if I lie here long enough I can remember everything. But my mind won’t let me live in the past anymore. I’m filled with daydreams of wishes, hopes, and ambitions. These are the daydreams that I mustn’t forget; that I won’t forget. I won’t forget this spot.

So I’m catching up on the news in India and they are talking about the U.S. Decision to shoot down a satellite to prevent any chance of the entire satellite hitting a city. What clip do they use? The scene from Armageddon when a meteorite hits Paris and the entire city blows up. I almost fell over laughing.

There’s a strike over the recent petrol price hike (1 Rs./litre) and they will come after you if your car is on the road. Our solution - place a sign saying ‘Airport Emergency’ and fly like the wind!

In a move I thought would never happen, the TSA has started a blog! Almost everyone I know has a condescending view of the TSA. They are viewed as incompetent, lazy, and useless. I glanced over the blog and found myself astonished by how honest the content was. The contributors...

Internet Anonymity: The Double Edged Sword

It is usually considered a branch of applied ethics and is certainly part of politics.”1 More specifically, American Civics is something that is in a...
