My latest read – The Post-American World
Fareed Zakaria’s The Post-American World is an enjoyable read. Most would recognize his CNN show Fareed Zakaria GPS. He has also participated in the World Economic Forum in Davos.

My latest read – Hot, Flat and Crowded
Over the long holiday I finally finished Tom Friedman’s book Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution–and How It Can Renew America. The book is a mixed blessing. Friedman has written one of the best books to understand the emergency need for a global environmental revolution.

My understanding of India’s impact on the [...]

Y2K. Remember the rush to fix computer software that was programmed to stop working on January 1 2000? Many Americans probably did not realize their software fix was coming from Indian companies including WiPro located in Bangalore India.
