- April 15 is Bengali New Year Day - nawbo bawrsho, in Bangla. Here's wishing you peace and prosperity in the year ahead. Just in case you thought of wishing New Year in some other languages…
- Reminded of globalization, somehow - a Bangali in Maharashtra, drinking Indian beer and Mexican tequila, listening to a Sardar singing sufi rock at a disc named Elysium!
- A collection of thousands of photographs showing the cultural (and economical) diversity of India
- A readout on the Guinea Worm disease, which i first saw in a National Geographic film on Africa - worms eating their way out of patients, emerging through swellings in the legs
- Vicious predators often come king-sized. But even the carnivore terror lizard - T Rex - could succumb to invisible parasites. Squirmy reading, “Parasite Rex” by Carl Zimmer
and dreams they are, just castles in the air... Did the Phoenix dream? Could it? Does it? Dreams of sweet nothings? Nightmares? The emerald green of paddy fields transforming to crimson walls of fire? Wake up poet. The times - they aren't a'changin, this world is largely fake...
