This is a lie
One of the simplest statements that is neither true or false!!
An evening of entertaining reading at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liar_paradox
Parenthood means..
- Not hesitating for a moment to put your nose near someone’ arse to check if they pooped
- Thinking it is cute when someone pees in your bed
- Taking food that someone else spits out and finishing it off without hesitating for a second
Some of the joys I got to experience in the last two years raising our Son :).
And yes.. a whole lot of new found respect for my parents.
Consequences of delivering early
$14B (yes, that is a Billion dollars!!)
That is the drop in Google’s market capitalization, when R.R.Donnelly released Google’s quarterly results earlier than intended 🙂
Driving in Texas
If you are ever driving in the country of Texas (yes, for the uninitiated, Texas is a country by itself 🙂 ), drive in the left most lane if you don’t want to get off the highway and drive in the rightmost lane if you want to get off the highway. Even the folks that only drive at 55 and are always in the right lane need to heed this advice..
Or you will be getting off and on the never ending “frontage” roads 🙂
I shared by two cents!!
DID YOU KNOW : How often the letter "e" is used?
“e” is the most used letter in the english language. It appears ~12.7% of the time in the language.
The next popular letter is “t“, which appears ~ 9.1% of the time.
And “a” takes the third spot at 8.1%..
How did I find this out? From the free Crypto class being provided by Dan Boneh from the Stanford University.
Things to experience..
Pictures of sunrise over I-90 (highway) in Chicago. I challenged myself to take pictures of a sunrise in the middle of the road.. while I didn’t technically take these pictures from the middle of the road :).. I did take them from the roadside.

Overheard : Comment on Work
I was standing in line to get into a plane yesterday and heard this comment made by a gentleman to his friend
You know.. funny thing about work, it has to get done!!
The guys were discussing about how their wives don’t understand the pressures of work :).
Introducing the Indian Samurai
Have you ever seen an Indian Samurai? No, I don’t think so :). I have been fascinated by Samurai ever since I was a kid. So I asked my friend, Buffy (awesome artist) to create a personal profile of me in Samurai attire :). And what do you get? An Indian Samurai :). 
Moving forward, this is going to become my profile on all online services (other than LinkedIn, because I like my job 🙂 ). Everyone can put up a picture, but very few can put up their own personalized icon :).
Want to get your own personalized profile icon? Send a note to Buffy at http://www.handmadebybuffy.com/. You won’t regret it.
