  • A comment on Talk: Harsha Bhogle: The rise of cricket, the rise of India

    Aug 4 2010: With friends around who are red hot zealous about cricket...i sometimes feel bad for not being able to appreciat the sport in all its beauty. Not idea where to start but for sure would love to get a taste of it given the right opportunity

  • A comment on Talk: Lies, damned lies and statistics (about TEDTalks)

    Apr 30 2010: Sample size too small? haha. As a someone in the field of statistics, I totally dig the fun intended with such metrics. big ups Sebastian. (i too was afraid of being bored by statistics when I clicked into this talk)

  • A comment on Talk: Blaise Aguera y Arcas demos augmented-reality maps

    Feb 15 2010: I can see many creative heads spinning with ideas for business apps that could add tangible value in wealth creation and expand marketing leverage. well done microsoft! metadata & crowdsourcing is def the way to go

  • A reply on Talk: Jamie Oliver's TED Prize wish: Teach every child about food

    Feb 15 2010: Very true indeed. A lot of the road blocks can be difficult to remove without the statutory recognition of the problem and institutional commitment from the top. Jamie's grassroot vision nonethless calls for certain forms of top-down implementation. I sincerely hope for his wish to come closer to reality in the near future when more people across the board can start to share his concern.

    A comment on Talk: David Blaine: How I held my breath for 17 min

    Jan 20 2010: Without such a personal account of the pains and hard work he's gone through, it'd be hard to fathom anything but magical tricks or illusion in accomplishing the impossible. My lungs started to contract at the idea of oxygen deprivation for that duration. Endurance is not born or given but obtained by pushing your limit at every common occasion.

    "it's practice, it's training and experimenting while pushing through the pain to be the best i can be."

    David Blaine is a true inspiration.

    A comment on Talk: George Ayittey on Cheetahs vs. Hippos

    Jan 20 2010: one might have noticed how the boom in modern communication technology could challenge the traditional channels of investment and donation made to Africa. Removing layers in the communication & increasing transparency seems to be a viable and effective way of removing reliance on gov. authorities. in so doing, micro-financing and direct fund to project match can be made possible. When we decry the dysfunctionality of the authorities, the question must be asked what are the means to turn to the alternatives and what has yet to be put in place

    fascinating and thought-provoking talk indeed!
