| Back in school I was taught an Astronaut is one who goes to space. Years later I realized it was a specific name given to the Americans who don those fancy suits and venture out into space. Then as I grew older (and hopefully wiser) I learnt about Cosmonauts – the Russian guys. Recently I came across yet another term Taikonauts for the Chinese guy...

| Why is it that at the launch of a new car or bike model at the Detroit Motor show or the Delhi motor show, female models are preferred over Hunky men? If these models being dressed in shot skirt and high heeled shoes is not teasing enough they are so damn curvilicious. The same goes for those airhostesses on Kingfisher airlines.

| It was after 6 long years that I went back to Thailand on a holiday. Sitting inside the Kochi airport, I could already recollect the smell of Kao Pat Kai and Tom Yam Kung that I had so long ago.
