"Spiritual bliss for a Saraswat means a fish or crab curry, a piece of fried fish, a dry fish chutney, two or three kinds of vegetables, roe or oyster fritters (pakoras), a heap of stuffed clams and the kokum or sol kadhi—all consumed with copious helpings of rice before retiring for a siesta. Small wonder then that Bakibab Borkar, Goa’s poet laureate, was inspired to write: ‘Please, Sir, Mr God of Death /Don’t make it my turn today/ not today/ there’s fish curry for dinner.’ To drive home his point, the same poet wrote: ‘When I die, I would like my body to be consigned to the ocean. For, all my life I’ve eaten fish; now let them eat me.’" - Kamath (नमः) from Bookmarklet

That looks soooooooooooooooooo good. I'm drooling! - Admiral Anika

"It takes a lot of data center horsepower to create the stunning visual effects behind blockbuster movies such as King Kong, X-Men, the Lord of the Rings trilogy and most recently, James Cameron’s $230 million Avatar.  Tucked away in Wellington, New Zealand are the facilities where visual effects company Weta Digital renders the imaginary landscapes of Middle Earth and Pandora at a campus of studios, production facilities, soundstages and a purpose-built data center." - Kamath (नमः) from Bookmarklet

Sao Paulo, go to the same dumpy open-air restaurant four nights in a row. Talk to everyone who comes up. It will broaden your horizons. Brazilians are genuinely interested in people, especially people who are different from them. In the U.S., we are in too much of a rush. Too inward facing. Second place to go: the old markets of Karachi. Accept tea from the shopkeepers - then others will approach. - A Mitchell

ooohhhhhhh - Shevonne

"This astute synopsis of Lindsay Lohan's ultra-meta pièce de résistance isn't a fluke—no, over at Comcast, movie summarization has been elevated to an artform. That, or their whole staff has a raging pill habit. Either way!" - Kamath (नमः) from Bookmarklet

Nope. I've unfollowed people who send large batches #followfriday stuff. - Admiral Anika

"People here are also worried about the future. They fret that Bangalore, and India more broadly, will remain a low-cost satellite office of the West for the foreseeable future — more Scranton, Pa., in the American television series “The Office,” than Silicon Valley. Even as the rest of the world has come to admire, envy and fear India’s outsourcing business and its technological prowess, many Indians are disappointed that the country has not quickly moved up to more ambitious and lucrative work from answering phones or writing software. Why, they worry, hasn’t India produced a Google or an Apple? Innovation is hard to measure, but academics who study it say India has the potential to create trend-setting products but is not yet doing so. Indians are granted about half as many American patents for inventions as people and firms in Israel and China. The country’s corporate and government spending on research and development significantly lags behind that of other nations. And venture capitalists finance far fewer companies here than they do elsewhere." - LANjackal from Bookmarklet

“To start a services company it really takes you just two or three days to get going,” said Mr. Krishnan, whose book, “From Jugaad to Systematic Innovation: The Challenge for India,” is to be published next year. “The moment you are looking at manufacturing, there are hundreds of inspectors and regulations.” - pain faced & reported by several of my friends and acquaintances. - Kamath (नमः)

"Oh dear dad, can you see me now? I am myself, like you somehow" kills me. My dad died when I was 10, and I often wonder what he would think of the man I've become. - Bren -- Making Contact

The joy of eating street food is rooted not only in the flavors, but also in the experience. Sometimes it's more about the latter than the former. This curious establishment was on the 'hit list' that a friend passed to us before we drove to Hat Yai and Songkhla last June. It resides under a stage erected in the courtyard of a temple smack in the middle of the city's Chinatown. The place is an institution; if you were to ask anyone on the street about 'noodles under the stage' they'd point you here. - BeeLing from Bookmarklet

If I have the chance... I'd like to go there :) - BeeLing

Describe the situation & what made it difficult. - today's Plink question: http://www.plinky.com/prompts... - Kol Tregaskes

The hardest goodbye I have ever had to say looks to be in my very near future :(. - Kamath (नमः)

"Lalbagh dates back to two-and-a-half centuries and spans more than 200 acres. The Cubbon Park was created by the British more than a century ago. Both parks have earned Bangalore the tag Garden City. They provide a fitting foil to the hundreds of steel-and-concrete structures that have recently sprouted in the city and its suburbs. But public access to these beautiful parks is now a casualty of terrorism. The world over, heightened security concerns have dictated access to public buildings and civic structures. In an over-populous country where the gruesome memories of last year’s attacks on Mumbai’s public and private spaces are still raw, the authorities feel they cannot be careful enough. In recent years, there have been several terrorist attacks in parks, crowded markets, restaurants and other public places in India. Electrified fences, high walls and security gates manned by armed guards are becoming increasingly common in public and private buildings in the largest cities." - Kamath (नमः) from Bookmarklet

But environmental and civic groups in Bangalore are in an uproar over these security moves. “Why should we pay to breathe fresh air?” said Satyavathi Venkatachala, a retired school teacher who is a regular morning walker at Lalbagh. The intention is to prevent common folks from using public spaces, feel Bhargavi Rao and Leo Saldanha of Environment Support Group. “It is an effort to... more... - Kamath (नमः)

I wish India wouldn't follow the US government model - decisions dictated by fear and taking the easy way out. But the Bangalore authorities seem to be trying to outdo them. - Kamath (नमः)

I just disable the whole thing. Go to the "Security Center" control panel and click "Change the way Security Center notifies me" on the left. Or disable the "Security Center" service (wscsvc). - Gabe

Ali, BlackViper says that you have to do more than just disable the service: http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP... - "If you do not want the Security Center to monitor these functions for you, disabling this service is not enough. After rebooting the system, this service will again be placed into Automatic and started. While the service is in the started state, go... more... - Chris Heath

"We've been seeing some interesting devices aimed at making life easier for the blind recently, but none that have captured our attention quite like the Squibble from UK designer Andrew Mitchell. The pocketable Braille interface allows users to operate mobile phones and other technology over Bluetooth, using 779 ultrasonic motors to lift illuminated caps against a silicon cover and form Braille letters and other easy-to-understand icons. There's also audio feedback, and a grip that allows for use without having to set it down flat like other Braille readers. Pretty ingenious stuff -- and Andrew says development is "advanced," so hopefully this will go from concept to real product relatively soon." - Kamath (नमः) from Bookmarklet
