Delta billboard

A huge billboard on I-85 has a Delta ad screaming “Upgrade to Economy Comfort” for only $9.
I am like, “Economy Comfort”???
That must rank in the scale of oxymoron high up there with “jumbo shrimp” 🙂 or perhaps “airline food” 🙂

The arc of my life last week…

… Took me from roadside “cha” in earthen “bhnar” to Starbucks coffee in paper glass. 7 cents for 1 ounce to 3 dollars for 12 ounces!!!
Nothing says I am back in the US like that first sip of Starbucks coffee. When the lady asked for my name, I asked her to write “Cha” in remembrance of all the tea I had in India 🙂 And she did!!! I am sure she thought I looked suspiciously unChinese for such a name!! 🙂
One more flight segment and then I am home!!!

Indian farmer

Shot on Pandooa-Polaba road on Tuesday. This is how I remember my early days of childhood watching all my relatives till the land. I also now remember that we had five bulls – I can remember the names of four of them. Now that I have studied mathematics and all that, I have no idea why we had a odd number of bulls!!!

I particularly like the bird that got into the frame in the right bottom corner.
