The din inside my head is yet to die down. I can’t bring myself to write about IT. Nothing else seems important, though. Most of the posts that show up on Bloglines seem irrelevant. Yet there always seems to be more information, more points of view to assimilate.

Meanwhile (off Gawker’s blog?) I found this Steven Colbert idea –

“If this is truly India’s 9/11 and they want to emulate America, they should go out and attack a totally unrelated country. Say, New Zealand.”

Cote d'Ivoire, be very afraid.

Good friend – middle-class Bombay professional, one of the sharpest and most well-informed – on the suddenly visible activism of the middle and upper classes –

“This will last till Wasabi opens again.”
