B in India: 5/1/08
http://binindia.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 31, 2008. Over the top is just enough. It's just a couple hours until we leave Delhi, but there was one other set of photos I wanted to post. From a florist near my house where you can see the guys outside making flower arrangements, and they are using cans of spray paint to, quite literally, gild the lilies. One of the things I find most striking about many Indians is that they just don't have share the NPR demographic's. It's a disarmingly sincere aesthetic. Links to this post. About 10 m...

B in India: Also, I think my book of Sudoko puzzles is a give away
http://binindia.blogspot.com/2008/06/also-i-think-my-book-of-sudoko-puzzles.html
Saturday, June 21, 2008. Also, I think my book of Sudoko puzzles is a give away. Crossroads of Northeast India and jumping-off point for Darjeeling, if they ever stop with their strikes. I’m going to write more about this town in a future post. It is a challenging place to describe. But I wanted to mention something super exciting: BOTH of my first two contacts here mentioned that I might be put under surveillance by the government while I am here! 4 I have a blog.

Sunday, February 17, 2008. 28th Birthday in New Delhi. I really wanted a margarita, so we headed for Ruby Tuesday's. (Surprisingly, Ruby Tuesday's has several. New Delhi locations - who'd have thought? It was a poor decision - the drinks weren't very good. But they did have real taco chips. Links to this post. Monday, February 11, 2008. Keep your drink, just give me the money. Because you can’t be bothered to explain to this person why their whole world view is massively flawed? Being, as I am, a future ...

Thursday, October 25, 2007. Guwahati, the capital of the state of Assam. Nut market," which is a literal, commerce-oriented name for a city that serves its economic function well enough, but doesn't have a lot of charm to spare. Below is a picture of the Brahmaputra, the enormous river that led people to settle in Assam long ago. It really looks more like a lake, it is so massive. There is supposedly a temple to Shiva in the middle of the river and a temple for Sati. Shiva, in his grief over Sati's.

Thursday, April 17, 2008. Answer in the Form of a Question. I have three interviews tomorrow and I'm having trouble getting motivated to write my scripts for them. Because I really haven't come up with the script that makes my respondents, well, respond. At least to the questions I am asking. So, I present a Jeopardy like exercise - what must I be asking to be getting these answers? The Interview Script for the Answers my Respondents Give. Please share with me your views of Pakistan. Why or why not?

Friday, November 30, 2007. I am sorry I have not up-dated my blog in a bit. My steady sweetie was in town during Thanksgiving week and after he left there was an extensive agenda of pining and self-pity that needed my urgent attention. I am afraid I have more bad news about. And he was also denied admission to the Taj. Totally unreasonable. Is maybe 2 inches high. What could he contain? And it’s not like they can’t give him a good squeeze and tell that he’s all stuffed with fluff. Are you so very uncute?

Collection of Broken Thoughts. The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move. Sunday, August 8, 2010. Winter travels: São Paulo and Manaus. For four weeks, we lived at the center of it all. The expensive, expansive, hectic, maddening and refreshing center of Brazil, São Paulo. In reserve order, the ugly, the bad and the good of São Paulo. We lived five blocks from an Applebee's, and six blocks from a Starbu...

Friday, January 8, 2010. A fugutive in Brazil, again. For a brief few days after Christmas, Bethany came to visit. We enjoyed excursions to Petrópolis and Penedo in the state of Rio de Janeiro. We spent New Year's Eve dancing and watching the fireworks on Copacabana Beach. The day after Bethany left, this Wednesday, I dressed up t...

Thursday, January 3, 2008. Little bird in China. At the Forbidden City. Links to this post. Olympic Friendlies and China's One-Child Policy. Anyhow, the spirit of the 2008 games is represented by 5 "Fuwa" or "Friendlies," each of whom corresponds to one of the Olympic rings, a particular set of Olympic events, and to a Chinese mythological creature. All of the Fuwa are children. Consider the following evidence:. China (1.75) is about on par with Finland (1.73). And Finland is a leader in grot...Thus, the...
