		<description><![CDATA[Sundays in Trivandrum are when I like to drop into the houses of our staff. Life here is simpler than in the west, and Sundays are usually spent at home with family and relatives who usually live nearby. I don&#8217;t like to give too much notice of my arrival, firstly so that they do not [...]]]></description>

It can&#8217;t be the 10th rate, bug-ridden, unsecure software he has unleashed on the world…
Nor can it be the billions he has collected from people including poor third world citizens who have to use Windoze (some of which money he is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday we were invited to the marriage of Shalini, a staff member at River Valley. The ceremony is very brief, and can easily be missed by the guests, which numbered around 1000, typical in Kerala weddings. The huge costs of this brief gathering is on the shoulders of the bride&#8217;s family!

		<description><![CDATA[A recent trend (I think it is recent) in the US is to use &#8220;oftentimes&#8221; for &#8220;often&#8221;. How this happened I don&#8217;t know, but I wish they would not dilute a clear and precise word.

One recent fad is to put security spikes on the enclosing walls to deter intruders. Of course there is a &#8220;my spikes are bigger than yours&#8221; race on, [...]]]></description>

Let us hope this now changes, and let&#8217;s hope Barack can do something about the things that have made the whole world angry with the US. I am now looking forward to resuming my frequent US trips.
