    There are so many talented craftsmen, artists, artisans, mechanics, and people of all trades in India. I remember decades ago when I visited, and having grown up in the U.S., seeing them using more rudimentary tools and instruments, I thought they couldn&amp;#39;t possibly achieve the same quality as those with better tools and instruments. I was in for an awakening. They improvised ingenious methods and often surpassed the quality of what I saw in the West. That was a long time ago.

    Chilling this evening with the music of Karsh and his collective. Makes me happy to see musicians who enjoy getting together to create music. #KarshKale

    Watching the 1962 Telugu movie &amp;quot;Gundamma Katha,&amp;quot; a comedy-drama, featuring the popular Telugu actor, N. T. Rama Rao (NTR), who later became the Chief Minister of the state of Andhra Pradesh. His son-in-law, N. Chandrababu Naidu, seen as a competent policy wonk but maybe of questionable political acumen, is the current C. M. of the state.

    Working on a GFI outlet at my mom&amp;#39;s and I thought my multimeter needed a new battery. Me: Do you have a 9V battery? Mom: I don&amp;#39;t know. I may have one. [pulls out a ziploc bags with about dozen or more batteries which have been thrown in haphazardly]. Me: Uggh! Throw them all out.

    I&amp;#39;m about one fourth of the way through the Japanese morning drama series, Soar High, watching one or two of the 15 min episodes each day. At first I thought it might be boring, but it turned out to be nice to watch a well-made, slow-paced series that is calming. No foul language, shouting, violence, or pathological behaviour by the characters who are mostly soft spoken.

    This should be the quote of the year: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#39;t know if you&amp;#39;ve ever been in a urinal and wore sandals, you sometimes feel those droplets. They could be yours, they might be your neighbor&amp;#39;s. Well, the idea was to stop that completely.&amp;quot; --Tadd Truscott, fluid dynamicist, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia. #IgNobel https://www.npr.org/2026/09/03/nx-s1-5950370/ig-nobel-awards-kissing-urinals-move-switzerland
