1600 Pennsylvania Avenue seems like a fun place to be these days. Here’s NBC’s neatly edited behind-the-scenes look at the Obama White House.
The executive offices seemed a little cramped, and I think Rahm could treat Geithner a little better, the poor guy is already having a rough time!

ACL transplant surgeries hurt and that is just the way it is.
In hindsight, the quick single in that Project Management vs. IT Servces cricket match seems like a silly idea.
Key takeaways from my ‘prep’ talk at the surgeon’s office were not encouraging:
Happy to report that I’m walking, mostly without a limp and generally without a care but not sans pain.
My beef with ACL transplant surgery: I’m still not playing squash. And, the darned metal detectors have started beeping near my knee!!! :-)
It will be a quiet celebration; a cake, a candle and some painkillers!

When you meet someone, you need to have a super power. If you don’t, you’re just another handshake. Don’t say, “Hi, I’m Don, I’m from Cleveland.” Instead, try, “Hi, I’m Don, I tell stories that spread.” It’s not about touting yourself or coming on too strong. It’s about making the introduction meaningful. If I don’t know your superpower, then I don’t know how you can help me (or I can help you).

In the spirit of my last post, I enjoyed reading this, recommend that you take a look:
So I want to tell Varun Gandhi, you’ve got company. That when you open your mouth to utter the most diabolical stuff ever spoken at an election rally, and use more communally charged language than has ever been heard in public - it’s probably your way of getting attention. A sound smack at a young age may have stopped you from talking openly about cutting off people’s necks and chopping off their hands. It’s the kind of typical younger child insolence that led your indulgent aunties and uncles, like the BJP leader on our channel last night to tell journalists to give him a break, he is a “young and upcoming boy.”
But let’s grow up now, beta Varun, and smell that coffee, even drink some if it clears your head. This is a parliamentary election- those speeches of yours have been heard by a shocked nation, and not even your own party knows where to look now. Your best would be to either prove that those CDs you say were doctored are indeed so; or apologise, and go into retreat or meditation, and reflect a little.
