US vs them or us vs them?
For a while now I have tried, in vain I realize in hindsight, to compare and contrast the two places that have meant so much to me in terms of sensibilities, and now geography. I have tried and tried, and realized I have been barking up the wrong trees. May be Pluto and Neptune, may be Madagascar and Honolulu. Not the US and India.
The US is as confused as India is, and may be at some level it has come to terms with the dichotomy in the application of its principles and well, living with it. Both the US and India cannot be pinned down, and that really says something.
Q.E.D
I have also realized it is good to take the best of both the cultures, and make it my own. Geography never came in the way when relating to the other sensibilities. People assume a lack of identity. I don't blame them. Sometimes I doubt my belonging. I do not know if I fit in "them" or "us", and that probably explains the title in whose word play otherwise I would have felt a little smug.

Exclusivity, anyone?
There are twelve astronauts who have walked the moon. The number of CEOs who have walked a golf course with Tiger Woods isn't much higher.

Handling with Care?
Why is it that the carry bags in the US, no matter what load they are supposed to take, do not have handles?
Why is it that the boxes that are supposed to ferry loads of stationery in academic circles do not have handles or bars?
Earlier I had seen this in the movies, seeing it first hand now.

Life's Like That
of frozen tears
of supple bosoms
of inclement gods
of unrelenting water
of receding goals
of suppressed anger

for all the perverts letting their imagination run wild, that is a parking lot volunteer guiding a car into the right spot.
