Folks at Aditi- a Bellevue/Bangalore IT company sent me this hilarious video on how they welcomed their new recruits in Bangalore recently.
Enjoy!

Jhumpa Lahiri
This link will take you to my interview with Jhumpa Lahiri in today’s PI. I have to say that she truly is a wonderful writer and person. There is this innocence to her that I think is just priceless. Her Pulitzer is very well deserved:

Girls vs Boys
How early does the preference for same gender playmates begin? My son is 3.5yrs old and he already told me that “Mommy, you can’t love me more than Daddy. Only Daddy can because he’s a boy and all the boys are friends”.
Today I was taking him to the “Grossology” exhibit and he was pretending to be driving his fighter jet, stuck in his car seat. He kept asking dad to fly his jet but dad had his hands on the wheel and couldn’t give into him. So, he goes, “Mommeee, can you fly with me?” I just wanted to enjoy Seattle’s verdant greenery, so I ho-hummed something. He goes, “You can do it mom, just put on your Girly mask, and push your Girly buttons on your Girly jet and YOU CAN DO IT, MOM!” His enthusiasm was so contagious, so innocent! I did just that. Something common is better than nothing, right?!
I think the next thing that’ll put me in his circle of love will include me in a Spiderwoman suit or finger painting with egg yolks on the walls of our living room. Wait for pictures!

Indian Cricket team, LOL
Hilarious Joke via B’lore:
After the shameful defeat of Team India, the team members are not able to show their faces to people. So they choose not to go in public and rather just pack up in hotel rooms.
After a day, Rahul Dravid gets stir crazy and wants to go shopping. So he disguised himself as a Sikh and goes out. He meets a woman at the exit of the hotel who greets him “Hi Dravid!”
Surprised for having been caught he comes back and makes himself up as a muslim woman (in Burkha) and goes out. Yet the same woman greets him “Hi Dravid!”
Dravid comes back determined to give it yet another try with the make up of a Hippie wig and shorts etc. All in vain, the same lady catches him again and greets him “Hi Dravid!”
Bewildered by now, he could not help asking, “How did you recognize me?”
The lady replied – “I am Sachin!”
