Hearing Lies

Just for KishKash it may be worth converting to Skype from anything else you may have. Back in the day, the poster in my hostel room said "I must be a mushroom. Everyone keeps me in the dark and feeds me a lot of bullshit". It was as true a statement of my congenital cluelessness then as it is now. Surely, people of my stripe abound and for us there is hope.

 Now KishKish SAM offers you a tool to detect the lies you hear on your Skype phone. With the use of KishKish SAM VSA you can monitor whole conversation and see the stress level of the person you talked with. Just keep a record of all your phone calls and monitor them for lies or high stress levels.

This would be my first line of defense against smooth talking HR types who try to con me into believing they are making me an offer I'd be stupid to refuse and prospective dates who as previously noted suffer from selective amnesia about wives and children languishing back home. If the demo was based on something less obvious than Clinton's denial of the Lewinsky business, I would have been convinced about the product's efficacy.

There's no information on the science behind the application. I would trust my native instinct to guide me before I trust a software app.

Part Liberated Woman

An expat desi friend and I were discussing what it means to return to India when you have cobbled together a life in a foreign country no matter how flawed and imperfect. We have both spent over a decade outside India and have kids who were born abroad and have spent very little time back home. Returning "home" is something a lot of new immigrants like L and myself think about. We want very much for that to be an option because a full assimilation into our country of domicile is likely never going to happen. L has visited India more often than I have and has a much better pulse on what's going on there. For me the strongest drag force working against my desire to return home is my experience of life as a woman in India. I neither want to live that suffocatingly sheltered existence myself nor subject J to it. The freedom, independence and safety I have had in here in suburban America was not even something I knew I could expect to have in India. I never knew what it felt t...

Under Advisement

Recently a desi dude who is more acquaintance less friend called to check in on me. Those who have read this blog before might know that such calls tend to make me anxious. Depending on how far back we go, there are sets of FAQs that I brace myself to answer. The trick is to be sufficiently evasive without being downright offensive - a fine balancing act given the provocative nature of questions involved. I look at these calls as opportunities for building patience and tolerance both of which I seriously lack. Basically, they are very desirous of finding out how I am doing in my personal and professional life to be sure that they have me correctly categorized and filed for future reference. The major buckets appear to be loser, struggling, average, arrived, superstar and uncategorizable. My goal needless to say, is to be in the last bucket - the unknown, unquantifiable and therefore uninteresting entity. Their aim is to pull me into something more tangible. So anyways, the dude in ques...

Carefree Wandering

There are these lines in Paul Cohelo's Alchemist that I love about the shepherd turning a year later to sell wool and being unsure if he would meet the girl there But in his heart he knew that it did matter. And he knew that shepherds, like seamen and like traveling salesmen, always found a town where there was someone who could make them forget the joys of carefree wandering. What is true of the the power of love and making a person want to settle is also true of  finding purpose in life. If and when a person is able to connect their work to purpose they care about, the desire for change disappears. They are able to instead channel that energy into enhancing the quality of the work they are already doing. As I write this, I remember S a brand manager I used to know a couple of decades ago. He worked for a company that made products for senior citizens, I was a consultant there. S was responsible for creating awareness of their new products and building awareness of what already ex...
