Stuff that made me – in no particular order – think, chortle, smirk, snigger , slurp, nod my head wisely, with sorrow, and in a wtf mode. I shan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t identify which is what \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6coz it will be fun a year later to figure:<\/p>\n

a) The Gender Divide<\/a><\/strong> exists in the work place in the US – not only in terms of salaries, but also in terms of power & decision making. There are surveys and action to back it up there, here it just happens. I was once told by a former (female) boss that a less experienced colleague was getting paid more than me – because he is the breadwinner. and because he had a family. I am female & single \ud83d\ude41 seriously).<\/p>\n

b) The Great Fat Indian Wedding – at the BBC<\/a><\/strong>. They don’t quite know what to make of the former colony gone successful and rich. I sometimes think that they preferred it when we were poor & broke. That discomfort is definitely still there. Kind of the upper caste liberal discomfort when they have to share a table with the lower caste upwardly mobile. If it wasn’t so embarrassing to watch … it would be funny.<\/p>\n

c) Would you pull the switch<\/a><\/strong> ? – a look back on the Stanley Milgram’s experiment’s<\/p>\n

In a series of about 20 experiments, hundreds of decent, well-intentioned people agreed to deliver what appeared to be increasingly painful electric shocks to another person, as part of what they thought was a learning experiment. The “learner” was in fact an actor, usually seated out of sight in an adjacent room, pretending to be zapped.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

and its link to violation of prisoners’ human rights.<\/p>\n

d) News ‘wet’ dreams – Kay from Noose Media<\/a><\/strong> looks at the transference of political opinion in news reports.<\/p>\n

e) Jabberwock’s review <\/a><\/strong>of Mahabharat <\/a><\/strong>is as entertaining as the series. I must admit that despite the kitsch i’m hooked by the series \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
