Thinking ...: July 2008
http://venkythinky.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 24, 2008. Absolute Batman . Hush! This is not about the movie (altho' I wish it was .). Have spent the last few evenings re-reading Batman-Hush. And I can not describe how much fun that has been . especially reading it in the DC Absolute. Kinda like the 'big-screen' version of a comic . with the slipcase, oversize pages and all the extras . Takes the experience to a whole new level . The large size does some justice to the phenomenal artwork of Jim Lee. Links to this post. Lakshmi Nursing ...

The Meltdown Log: Racism redux: Race in the mirror
http://saratm.blogspot.com/2009/09/racism-redux-race-in-mirror.html
This could end rather badly . Friday, September 25, 2009. Racism redux: Race in the mirror. Latest edition has a series of stories/pieces on how racism is not something new to Indians - they are indeed old experienced hands at practicing it themselves. These pieces are for the most part short in nature and are personal experiences and opinions expressed by individuals. For instance, in How to Draw Within the Margins. We often nominate ourselves as honorary white.". Are quite telling summarizations. Racis...

The Meltdown Log: Moon water and "Red Mars"
http://saratm.blogspot.com/2009/09/moon-water-and-red-mars.html
This could end rather badly . Tuesday, September 29, 2009. Moon water and "Red Mars". The discovery of water on the moon. Now confirmed by several different moon missions, and most recently by a NASA probe deployed via the Indian Space Research Organization's Chandrayaan I moon orbiter, is astounding news. That news has been followed with the discovery of large quantities of water on Mars. Namely the award winning "Red Mars", "Green Mars" and "Blue Mars". Regardless, the authors deep knowledge of the sci...

The Meltdown Log: Contrapment
http://saratm.blogspot.com/2010/03/contrapment.html
This could end rather badly . Thursday, March 18, 2010. Me and the wife at a SuperTarget recently. She's off browsing some section of the store. I wander off to check a nearby section. I turn a corner and see a guy walking towards me. Guy breaks into a smile and points a finger at me with an expression of a slowly dawning familiarity. GuyFromTraget (GFT): "Hey - do I know you from somewhere? You look familiar.". Sorry I can't seem to place you." (I'm trying real hard though! What do you work on? GFT: "Oh...

The Meltdown Log: They're taking over!
http://saratm.blogspot.com/2009/07/theyre-taking-over.html
This could end rather badly . Monday, July 27, 2009. In a world suffering from a severe recession (sounds like a movie trailer opening line that - "In a world where." Ok. Ok. Moving on.), its probably not the thing you want to hear - that ultimately, one day, some machine is going to be doing your job. Thats because, as this this NYTimes articles says. The damn machines are going to become smarter than you. Knowing myself however, they don't have all that much of a distance to cover. The India Uncut Blog.

The Meltdown Log: Climate Changers
http://saratm.blogspot.com/2009/09/climate-changers.html
This could end rather badly . Tuesday, September 29, 2009. The whole debate on climate change and who needs to take responsibility and do what continues to rage. With no end in sight. The so called developed countries - mostly in the West - while promising a cut in emissions, have in the past demanded that the developing countries also do the same across the board. This is of course not exactly to the liking of the developing world. The second reason is of course, how did our climate get to this point?

The Meltdown Log: The Good, The Bad and The Sulky
http://saratm.blogspot.com/2010/02/good-bad-and-sulky.html
This could end rather badly . Tuesday, February 09, 2010. The Good, The Bad and The Sulky. Five Rupees has a very interesting discussion. Between three political science PhD candidates on the Indo-Pak issue in the backdrop of the Indian side recently proposing to renew talks with Pakistan. The talks had been halted rather abruptly after the terror attacks on Mumbai. But the Indians seem particularly alarmed that everyone (except India) seems to be very inclined to start talks of some sort with the "good ...
