Read here about Muammar Gaddafi's vision for Switzerland, and the tongue-in-cheek responses from the Swiss.
Good job the man has not started making plans for India!

Our Experiment
Our experiment did not last very long.....On Friday, we finally decided to leave our door open, and allow our new cat to run away. We hoped she would return periodically, especially if we left milk in a saucer for her to find at our doorstep. It looks less likely that will happen though. She has not returned as yet.
Here is our balance sheet on The Experiment.
On the one hand, let me assure you that it is not easy to toilet train a cat in a couple of rooms. Also, as part of what Prashanth called 'knowledge transfer' in his article on his blog, Anand proceeded to unlearn all his toilet training. As Mark Twain wrote in Tom Sawyer, let me now draw the curtain of charity over the scene!
On the other hand, the cat brought out so much from Anand. He seemed to be constantly laughing at every silly antic, so caught up in caring for this cat that he even wanted to sleep with it.
One of my teachers has been talking to us about pet squirrels....

The BJP's internal struggles
Vir Sanghvi's hard hitting comment on the present BJP leadership:
"If the last two weeks have made anything clear it is this: the BJP’s idea of collective leadership is that its senior leaders all collect together and go and meet the RSS chief who instructs them on what to do next."
He warns:
"By the beginning of next year, the BJP of Vajpayee and Advani will be dead. In its place, we will have a new BJP, its leadership a combination of mass-murderers, state chieftains and rootless politicians. All of them will take orders from the RSS."

Our family get away to the shore...
Here are a few snap shots of our recent trip to the Ocean (Rehoboth, Deleware - the first state in the U.S.). We had a great time and it was very relaxing, for me especially, since Ashish was not working. And, one afternoon while Safina and Ashish were napping, I got a few cute shots of Serena. I was supposed to be napping too, but when the right moment presents itself, there's just no time to nap. :)

Our family grows.....
Please welcome the latest entry into our menagerie!
This is called "putting the cat among the chickens!"
Finally, here's a video of Anand trying to bathe. There's usually "water, water evvayvveh" (everywhere!), and very little lands where needed!
