Seth Godin complains about the Indian consulate and the process of getting a visa. He also has some helpful suggestions. [Hat tip: Navin]

The more important issue is this: this is a business. They take in more than $20,000 a day in fees, but even more important, the way they market themselves has a direct and important impact on travel decisions. No visa, no trip. Big hassle, no trip. Given that every single person traveling to this vast country must deal with the consulate first, think of the leverage… Just a small influence on the quantity or quality of travel to India would be huge.

शब�द और ज�ञान के रिश�ते को सम�ा रहे हैं अनामदास,

जब आप शब�दों की ताक़त, उनके मर�म, उनकी उत�पत�ति, उनकी विविधता, उनकी छाया, उनकी ध�वनि को सम�ना श�रू कर देंगे तो आपको खाने-पीने-पढ़ने-लिखने-जीने का मज़ा आने लगेगा.

पà¥?रà¥?तगाल और भारत के कई हिसà¥?सों में आलू को बटाटा और अनानास को अनानास ही कहते हैं…à¤?सी सिरà¥?फ़ à¤?क मामूली बात जानने के बाद आलू, अनानास, इतिहास, भूगोल, वà¥?यापार, उपनिवेशवाद, भाषाशासà¥?तà¥?र सबकी परतें खà¥?लने लगती हैं.

आप प�याज़ की �क परत उतारकर आ�सू बहाने लगते हैं या छीलते चले जाना चाहते हैं यह आपके ऊपर है.

Ram writes about the Grand Sweets and Snacks in Adyar.

For those who watch Seinfeld, a visit to this premier sweets and savories store in Adyar, would be reminiscent of the “Soup Nazi� episode in terms of the flow along the chain. First you step in and take a quick look at the offerings if you don’t already know what you need. Most mamis come prepared with a detailed list to get ahead of the curve a.k.a the crowded line at the store. Perhaps the one thing you would find today that was absent in 1990 is a familiar sight of youngsters who find their place in the queue before they decide and like stock brokers, call up their spouses or moms asking them for the order.

At the end of each over, the folks at SET Max would switch to the ads the moment the batsman in question hit the last ball. So diligent in their task were they, that many times they cut into the ads before a run was completed. And if the last ball were a boundary – there would be no replay before or after the ad break. An example: when Australian captain Ricky Ponting unfurled two gorgeous drives in the 2nd and 4th over during the semifinal match against South Africa.

Venkatesh is frustrated by the appalling coverage by SET Max through the World Cup tournament.

IndiCast talks about the top clicked links on DesiPundit in the second episode of Amuk Amuk. To make it more fun, they pepper the podcast with hilarious personal anecdotes.
