\na) Economic Woman <\/a><\/strong>looks at different ways to see the world through worldmapper<\/a><\/strong>. The current way of seeing the world – even geographically – is skewed. Europe looks a whole lot bigger than it is, Australia a whole lot smaller. Even geography is politically appropriate.<\/p>\n

b) TRP’s<\/a> <\/strong>(or the equivalent) for Youtube<\/a> <\/strong>– except that given the nature of the net it will be more accurate than TRP’s (which depend a lot on human intervention in terms of monitoring) – whether it manages to capture the vastness of the TG and it’s propensity to make things up on the net is a different matter.<\/p>\n

c) It is nice to see the Indian Government get it right . It has been twice in a row that it has bucked international hype and saved itself from wasting more of tax payer money. The first was a reticence <\/a><\/strong>on the SWF <\/a><\/strong>. The second was staying away from the $100 laptop project<\/strong><\/a>. I remember having a conversation in 1995 with someone who wanted to put a computer in every rural school in India in the next 12 months — and the question I had was basic “Where is the electricity ?”. A vision is a great idea, but as SR put it once — to have sight (of issues) is as important.<\/p>\n

d) The trouble with blogging is that you tell a lot about yourself to the world. Sometimes, when you decide to take potshots <\/a><\/strong>at others — you also end up revealing your immaturity…. Aamir Khan<\/a> <\/strong>and the Big B blog<\/a><\/strong> ! Both seem to be obsessed with Shah Rukh Khan … I wonder why ? Oops … ok I didn’t read this <\/a><\/strong>earlier … That couldn’t have been easy …! Wow – in today’s day and age …it is nice to see such grace.<\/p>\n

e) Salary delay for IPL stars <\/a><\/strong>– \ud83d\ude42 As part of the entertainment media they ought to know that normal payment terms are 60 to 90 days after telecast !<\/p>\n

f) And, finally – it’s not the age, but the mileage \ud83d\ude42
