Gol gol gappe. or Tall Tales. Tuesday, August 21, 2007. Got an email announcing the launch of the European Water Partnership's water blog 'Blue Gold' at http:/ www.questjournalists.com. And read James Dorsey's excellent piece on the private, social and ecological cost of bottled water (and what Corporate Accountability International got Pepsico to do) http:/ www.questjournalists.com/index.php/site/pepsi to identify water source on aquafina label/.

Gol gol gappe. or Tall Tales. Friday, September 22, 2006. Th difference between St. Louis and New York. Not for the fireworks, but for the imagination it produces of an integrated city, an experience that makes you think for a moment that you’re in downtown New York rather than St. Louis.

Gol gol gappe. or Tall Tales. Saturday, July 28, 2007. A Reliance Fresh Veggie Mall at Godhra. This rumour is doing the rounds that Godhra, Gujarat will soon have a Reliance Fresh veggie mall. People say that it's a good thing, it'll break the monopoly of the local sabzi mandi traders, bring down veggie prices and benefit consumers coz veggie malls like Adani and Subheeksha sell vegetables cheap.

Gol gol gappe. or Tall Tales. Tuesday, October 13, 2009. Elinor Ostrom gets the Nobel for Economics. The first woman to get the Economics Nobel, and one of the few (though not the first) non Economists to get it. (Is this making the Economists do a rethink on the funamental assumptions of their discipline? What I find problematic about Ostrom's Nobel is that her work on collective action erases power ('communities can be self governing'). But communities are shot through with inequalities, and we may...

Gol gol gappe. or Tall Tales. Wednesday, September 19, 2007. Biking on Katy Trail. Cesca and I rented ‘ladies’ bikes with high handlebars, cushiony seats and uncomplicated gears, the kind I’m used to in India. The patch we rode on was known for Neolithic(? Hieroglyphs high up on cliff walls etched with a red substance, still dark and fast, and a 100-year old oak tree where we took lots of pics and scampered lest we get shot by a gun-toting farmer.

Gol gol gappe. or Tall Tales. Wednesday, September 17, 2008. Long hours of darkness. Winter comes too soon. Spring not soon enough. No no, I'm in no hurry for spring. There's autumn colors to look forward to, and coats, scarves, firans and hand-knit sweaters. Posted by chaat paapdi @ 4:28 PM. Wednesday, September 10, 2008.

Gol gol gappe. or Tall Tales. Monday, August 14, 2006. Gujarat floods and madness. Spending much time cursing Narendra Modi, Manmohan Singh and the television news mongrels over complete apathy to floods in Surat. Let's see them releasing more water from the Ukai dam into an already flooded area if it's their families stuck in Surat. Best of all, the newsreader in Delhi asks the reporter on the ground AFTER he says that more helicopters and army people are needed:. Posted by chaat paapdi @ 3:28 AM. 3 The...

Gol gol gappe. or Tall Tales. Tuesday, May 22, 2007. Am in the middle of fieldwork, and it's shaadi time in the villages. Everyone who's 16-21 is getting married, and everyone who's not is either thinking about when they'll get married, or is arranging a suitable match between a girl and a boy. Love is in the air, and romance, and flirtations, and full-fledged affairs, all making me want to get married or at least fall in love. Posted by chaat paapdi @ 8:41 PM.
