A True Tamilian!
too good not to be shared …
1. You arrive one hour late to a party and find out you are the first
one to arrive.
2. You think it’s perfectly normal to call someone who’s 30 years
younger than you ‘Anna just Because he’s behind a counter.
3. You wear a suit to a wedding… And you are only 3 years old.
4. The wedding takes an hour and the group pictures...

Tragedy of the commons →
is a dilemma arising from the situation in which multiple individuals, acting independently and rationally consulting their own self-interest, will ultimately deplete a shared limited resource, even when it is clear that it is not in anyone’s long-term interest for this to happen.

Into The Abyss: Teal and Orange - Hollywood,... →

It is one of the most insidious and heinous practices that has ever overwhelmed the industry. Am I talking about the lack of good scripts? Do I speak of the dependency of a few mega-blockbuster hits to save the studios each year, or of the endless sequels and...

Bombers in Hollywood: The Price of Military Tech... →
At Camp David, President Obama met up with fellow NATO leaders to discuss the road ahead in Afghanistan. Although no one there used the language of defeat, the implicit message was clear: the war has gone nowhere in the past few years and it’s time to start packing up. Meanwhile, what raked in $25.5 million at the box office? Battleship. And who provided director Peter Berg with the war...

Audiences worldwide love action movies. When films feature uniformed personnel, planes, or ships—or, better yet, are military-themed, Hollywood routinely travels to the Pentagon. The Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, and Navy all share offices geared towards Hollywood in the same Los Angeles office building. Over in Washington, the Defense Department quietly maintains a Film Liaison Unit that...
SRK’s midlife meltdown: Real, raw and tragic →
“Ae bewada,” calls out an anonymous voice from the crowd, carrying high and clear over the chatter. An enraged Shah Rukh Khan yells right back, “Tu peeche se mat bolna… samne se aake bol ae peeli shirt ****… yahin gaad doonga.” (Don’t talk to me from back there. Come in front of me, you yellow shirt. I will bury you right here.)

tea in india, history →
According to historian Lizzie Collingham in her terrific Curry: A Tale of Cooks and Conquerors, the English popularized tea drinking in India in the early 1900s as a way to expand the market for the tea they were growing there. To the great distress of the British marketers of the time, the locals insisted on adding way more sugar and milk than would be considered proper by English standards...

An 18-Minute Plan for Managing Your Day →
Yesterday started with the best of intentions. I walked into my office in the morning with a vague sense of what I wanted to accomplish. Then I sat down, turned on my computer, and checked my email. Two hours later, after fighting several fires, solving other people’s problems, and dealing with whatever happened to be thrown at me through my computer and phone, I could hardly remember what...
