What's up...

In addition to Mallika Sherawat's MMS clip, AP govt's Volkswagon parody, a german granny retiring from active prostitution at 63, I've been reading A short story of nearly everything that gives interesting and often funny anectodes on the quest for knowledge, and a very interesting theory called the Aquatic ape theory that proposes that humans once had semi-aquatic ancestors.

If you have a 12 year-old niece/nephew and would like to encourage scientific curiosity, I would suggest that you do things

• Give him/her a copy of A short story of nearly everything, or better, Carl Sagan's Cosmos, and


• Explain the importance of promiscuity.

Even if the first point doesn't excite him/her, the second surely will.

Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot clearly makes him an AYM-GRAMD, but as the old redneck saying goes - a little AYM-GRAMD don't hurt nobody.

You would expect that the people who pay 4k for travel would have well-established concepts of decency and etiquettes. Please don't.

P.S: Is there a place in India where sex toys are sold? Would love to shock people out of their skulls.
