I was inspired by mac when i saw it for the first time at your home. I decided to buy a mac when i save enough.
Now i own an iMac and an iPod. Soon there'll be a iPhone in my collection too.

Nah Harrison. The point I was trying to make here is the fact that the Western nations now recognize India as an upcoming power and are cozying up to do business with it. A few years back India was still considered a poor nation with not much to offer...

I remember you had an idea a while back regarding outsourced visa services. Probably only a matter of time before these work through the hurdles and start directly servicing regular people as well.

Dum, I had tears in my eyes after I read this blog. I can only remember ourselves pushing our bicycles back home after school. Times have changed...and I see such a grown up wonderful woman in you. I really hope we live up to the expectations as parents. Lovely poem too.

Comment on Plea for Compassion and Humanity to Animals

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, lets talk about this in person. I didn't even dare to visit meat.org, your description about it scared me. We as human beings should make every effort to not hurt any being in any form. Not eating meat is just a step towards that direction.

Comment on Plea for Compassion and Humanity to Animals

Hello Ramya, I liked the post, and I agree with much of it, but as someone that is researching vegetarianism, I still have questions in my mind. Have humans really moved outside the bounds of Earth's ecosystem? Don't animals, microorganisms, insects and viruses feed on me either now or after I die? I have canine teeth and a digestive system that can digest meat, doesn't this connect me to the wider ecosystem? I am certainly against industrial meat processing but is that the same as being a vegetarian? What about fish that are still caught in the wild? Animals raised by (non-industrial) farmers often live longer than animals in the wild because they are treated for disease, get regular meals etc. If I want to act to maximize the happiness of an animal, shouldn't I seek out these farmers and buy from them? These are still issues that I haven't answered for myself yet, but thanks for giving me more to ponder.

As much as we innately object to that scene in Matrix where embryos are farmed, and humans immobilized for their electrical energy while jacked into the Matrix for artificial entertainment. It seems we subject our farm animals to far worse.

Comment on Does Anyone Notice the C-130s in Sunnyvale?

Even back when I was in Sunnyvale during eGain in 2000-2001, I used to see the same cargo planes circle overhead at very low altitudes. I mentioned it a couple of time, and the joke was that maybe it was Larry Ellison practicing his flying.

Comment on USC - Stanford Football Game

Hard to beat a top team like USC especially when they have a chip on their shoulder. Everybody says Reggie Bush will not be as big in the NFL, but I think I see glimmers of greatness. Go USC.
