There's so much to say...

Its been a while since I posted here and I haven't been busy at all during this time. I've also had plenty of things to post about and eternal access to the internet, so the long gap is probably because I was being a lazy ass (its funny how so many things in my life can be explained by this argument alone).

By virtue of completing one year in a management program, I have earned the right to say anything I want on stuff I know nothing about, and still maintain a straight face. That was exactly what I was doing when I was explaining why food and oil prices were going up, to a taxi driver in Kolkata. With a superior, knowledge-imparting arching of my eye-brow, I was trying to explain to him how supply shocks all over the world have shot prices up. Maybe I am a brilliant teacher, I don't know, but in 5 minutes he began deducing a lot of other stuff himself. Stuff that took me 2 entire courses to learn. When you realize one day that everything you learnt takes a layman about 5 minutes of common sense to figure out, its a great feeling. Made me feel like a royal jack ass for sure.

I'll say the other things later.
