A delhi boy whines and opines. Mainly about science, economics and politics. And the quirky things in life.
Look at this image of the back of a book. Can you tell me what I found really infuriating?
I find the sticker “Prakash Books” really irritating. How are you supposed to buy a book if you can’t the read blurb at the back?
I find stores that do this aren’t really bookstores. The person who put the sticker there really doesn’t understand books at all… or doesn’t care.
“Drive through” restaurants, a gastric institution in the US are now in India.
There’s one in Gurgaon (actually the outskirts of Gurgaon) and is open 24 hrs. It serves some really tasty pancakes for breakfast!
“Live” indicates that the “Appam” (like a pancake) is prepared fresh after you order it. How about some “Live” Burgers?

Sometimes its Dark and Lovely
A lot of Indians are embarrassed at the surfeit of “fairness” creams in this country. “Fair and Lovely” is a prominent brand.
But sometimes its “Dark and Lovely” too… Here is a photo of a skin tanning blend I saw in a Malaysian beach resort. It made me happy to see it. My theory is this: As long as imitation goes both ways its healthy. One way imitation is usually the sign of an inferiority complex. But since the whites want to become browner and the browns want to become whiter its all cool
