Boston Delta Skyclub is one of the biggest Skyclubs I have ever seen. I walk in and I was surprised to see a lot of my fellow Indians there. Found out – there are delayed flights to Paris (connecting to Bombay and Delhi) or something like that.
Anyways, I settled down and was busy catching up on emails when I heard the lady at the desk announce “Would passenger Patel please meet the front desk?”. Bemused, I looked over – and sure enough, in under 7 seconds there was a 11 deep queue!!
I don’t think the poor lady at the desk realized what was going on!!!

Ever heard of the constant rife, sectarian violence and prospect of civil war in Egypt? Well, guess what – in a sudden urge to do his duty, the tourism minister of Egypt has appealed to the world to visit Egypt. His lure? You can’t make this up… in an English interview to The Guardian, Hisham Zazou, the aforementioned tourism minister, said “Bikinis are welcome in Egypt and booze is still being served.”
You think he might be in “de Nile”? 🙂

Just in case you thought a caplet is a smaller version of a cap….

“According to Forbes magazine, Al Gore is now worth more than $200 million. This is what Gore meant when he talked about going green.” –Jay Leno
By the way, Gore, in real life is a very funny (and self-deprecating) guy. There is an interview of him by Peter Segal (Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me) that is outrageously funny. If you wish to hear it check out the Apr 20th podcast.
My favorite – Al Gore claims that he is so stiff and boring that the codename (when he was VP) given by Secret Service was …….. “Al Gore” 🙂

This is for all my Bengali friends who grew up with “Abol Tabol” and other poems of Sukumar Roy. I found this on the internet. Not sure who came up with it but I would say he/she did a great job in adapting Sukumar’s “noteboi” to modern events. If imitating is the best form of flattery, then this is a great tribute to Sukumar Roy.

Two days of constant rainfall – water everywhere – rivulets in the backyard – huge puddles on the road – and now the forecast says more rain the evening.
It is like the WeatherGods have misunderstood today to be “Sinko de Mayo” or something 🙂

So now one Penny Pritzker has been nominated for Commerce Secretary. Given the state of economy shouldn’t we have aimed higher and gone with at least somebody whose name started with Dollar? 🙂

It is not often (actually it has never been) that I get to speak at an industry event where they separate the men from the women for lunch. Did those rich Saudis buy up Florida or something 🙂
You can see here the directions to Men’s Luncheon and also where all the women were having their luncheon 🙂
