I was forced to wait for over an hour with a lady relative at the waiting room of a famous Ob/Gynec specialist today. There was a TV screaming instant recipes for all kinds of snacks and eats. Obviously aimed at those few women who want to dish up nice food in the kitchen, it was a huge bore for me. And then I found a couple of mags - Time and India Today. What fascinating stuff I read! Here is a sampler:
1. A heeled shoe, all glitter, which is actually a church! Wow. What would be the fate of a modern temple to Ram? It would be shaped like a beer bottle!
2. A 100 year old writer Hermann Wouk talks about Israel and his sense of priorities...
3. Time waits for none. And none reads those heavy books anymore. So one liner summaries from War and Peace to Moby Dick!
4. The fate of cancer patients in India - 70% come too late 70% die in the first year. And a chronic shortage of specialists...
Interesting time indeed.
