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 🙂
Two hours of playing the tabla (Indian drums) with Bihu songs. These are songs popular in Assam (northeast India) – usually sung this time of the year (spring). My sister used to excel in this style – 30 years back. Last time I accompanied her on the tabla was 20 years back. How I wish she was here thus evening instead of half a world away….
After my morning run, I was enjoying my Starbucks and stretching. Suddenly, I hear this “excuse me sir”. Expecting to be asked for directions, I look up and see this young guy who asked “how long does it take to be flexible like that”? I am like “Yesss… Take that Roger Whitney, for calling me old” 🙂 Anyways, I had to wait till he got into the car before I could groan from all those pulled muscles from over stretching 🙂 🙂

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?
