Another experiment begins...
Today marks the beginning of another personal experiment: I subscribed to two mailing lists that can potentially broaden my horizons. One is call 'Word of the Day' - which as is easy to guess, sends me an email everyday with all possible details about one particular word. Another, called 'On this Day' sends me a list of significant events that happened on today's date. As for Aug 3, the following are the events worth mentioning:
Happy Independence Day Niger!!!
I was surprised to see how similar the Niger national flag is to our Tiranga.
Adios Chris!!!
1492 - Christopher Columbus set sail from Spain, on his first voyage that took him to the present-day Americas.
This is another interesting one:
1981 - U.S. air traffic controllers went on strike, despite a warning from President Ronald Reagan they would be fired, which they were.
Having grown up witnessing the daily comedy show of Indian politics, I am sometimes fascinated by the way the leadership in this country deals with some situations - like their 'we do not negotiate with terrorists' approach or in this case the 'Don't mess with me, I am the boss' approach. Of course there are always convincing arguments that are contrary to everything that we say.
Anyways, I hope this experiment will achieve the results I expect. Maybe they will take me to a stage where my name will be listed in the 'On this Day' email that will be sent out some years from now :-). At the very least, I will certainly have some meat for my blog everyday!!
