The dazzling yellow metal “Gold” seems to be glittering more and more in terms of price. Gold metal appears to be striking back with a vengeance.

Of late, chucking shoes appear to be the latest craze as a form of protest. The targeted victims for such shoe-throwing incidents are normally leaders, politicians or ministers. The trend of course was started by an attack on Ex-President George Bush by an Iraqi journalist named Muntadhar Al Zeidi. Everyone was surprised by the unusual and peculiar form of protest and expression of anger. The next on line to get targeted with shoe-throwing was the Chinese Prime Minister Mr. Wen. The Chinese Government was deeply outraged by the incident and conveyed their anger in clear-cut terms. Recently the Indian Home Minister Mr. P. Chidambaram also got subjected to a similar kind of shoe protest by a Sikh journalist. Looks like the demand for shoes will go up world over if such incidents increase.

An equilibrist is a performer who entertains people with balancing acts such a tightrope walking. An equilibrist dares to complete a walk from one high location to another (usually a high-raised building) on nothing, but a high tension rope or wire.

The motive of tightrope walkers is usually to set or break location specific records. A documentary on Philippe Petit from France, “Man on Wire” went on to win a Grand Jury Prize for World Cinema Documentary. Walking on the edge seems to be a part and parcel of life for such performers.

The cars that are manufactured these days have anti lock brakes in the front to reduce the braking distance and skidding. But in the name of frugal engineering TATA has done away with even disk brakes in the front and have installed ordinary drum brakes in NANO. Their argument is that as the engine weight is in the rear of the car ordinary drum brakes will do and that the breaking distance will be similar to that of Maruti-800. Come to think of it, even motor cycles these days come with disk brakes in the front wheel .will this not compromise on the safety of the dream car NANO?

Duct Tape in Space – The first thing that comes to mind is Apollo 13’s journey to the moon and back wherein the oxygen cylinders exploded and suffocated its 3 astronauts.

An efficient substitute for old age homes is the assisted living centers which have come as a boon to the old and the infirm in our society. These assisted living centers help the aged in their activities of daily living and also provide relief and comfort by taking up the chunk of the responsibilities of housekeeping like laundry and cleaning and above all facilitating medical care of the old men and women. They also help them live life independently and with dignity. It is a myth that they encroach on the privacy of the individual, that they are not affordable and beyond our means and above all having to make compromises and adjustments in life. Assisted living is definitely a boon to those nuclear families where it is difficult for the younger ones to take care of the elderly in the family.
