USA Today reports “G-8 leaders agree to promote economic growth”. I have a question – As opposed to what? Did they really have to carefully evaluate the alternate option of NOT promoting economic growth?

It was barely 5:30 am and I was enjoying my coffee watching the rain when Nikita walks down the staircase from her bedroom, my iPhone in her hand, complaining “Siri is mean”! Apparently, first thing in the morning, she asked her “Am I awesome” and Siri politely answered “I cannot answer that” 🙂 And with that, we are off to a flying start to this Sunday!!

Usual Sunday watering hole with Sharmila for Mother’s Day dinner. Instead of fancy tables, we decided to sit at our usual bar chairs chatting with the staff. So far, one guy fell and cracked his head (paramedics and fire engine here), one table had a proposal (successful) and one table had a candle overturned on the tablecloth!!! 🙂 To think, I was the one who over drank tonight 🙂 🙂

A CNN headline report this evening starts this way – “Two suspected U.S. drone strikes killed 11 al-Qaeda militants in southern Yemen on Saturday, Yemeni military officials said.”
There is an irony when Yemen military “suspects” that it is a US drone but is absolutely sure that those killed are al-Qaeda militants 🙂

The French just concluded their elections. This morning I learnt that Sarkozy came out a little short 🙂

I have way too many questions. Which MIT student was so sloshed in beer that one night (s)he came up with this brilliant idea – I am going to feed the mouse some yogurt and then see what it does to the size of its testicles? Why yogurt? Why, of all body parts, the testicles? And how do you even measure them with so much precision that you can say they have grown? Are we done with solving all the other problems?

Last night, before going to bed, Nikita and I were playing our usual jumble word game. I asked her to unjumble “HOTOT”. After a minute of thinking she asked for a hint. I said “You and I have both have it but I have more of it”. Promptly she replied “Apple products” :-

CNN reported yesterday that “Iran Says It’s Building a Copy of Downed US Spy Drone”. Two years from now, CNN will be reporting that Iran’s new drones are bombing their own capital 🙂
