In Conversation
Welcome to the end-of-summer
wrap up edition of In
Conversation! With Ramesh still
on vacation, Sonya and Farook
discuss what the selection of
Sarah Palin, and the media
reaction to her joining the
ticket, means for the McCain
campaign; as well as the impact
of Hurricane Gustav on the
Republican National Convention
itself. Meanwhile, Sonya looks
back on the Democratic
Convention, compares Obama's
young family to JFK's, and
analyzes the meaning of Hillary
Clinton’s orange pant suit.
In other
stories, Farook discusses a TIME
Magazine interview with Bill
Gates on the topic of Creative
(Socially-Conscious) Capitalism,
and asks the question: Isn't ALL
capitalism, by the very nature
of its definition, "creative"?
Sonya discusses an edgy new
novel for young adults that
explores the sad subject of
child trafficking, and Farook
reveals that Indians have the
most money ($1456 billion!)
stashed away in Swiss Banks.
Immigration and Customs
Enforcement announced that only
8 people volunteered for its
"Self-Deportation" project --
and 2 of them were Indians!
Farook
notes an article in the New
Yorker about Swami
Parthaswarathy, an 80-year-old
self-help guru from Chennai, who
is a self-styled "Stress-Buster"
for CEOs and other corporation
executives.
Sonya takes issue with Sanjay
Gupta's TIME article about
losing weight through keeping a
"food diary" -- people will be
tempted to fudge their entrees!
Finally, you might not be able
to discover the magic of "Hari
Puttar" if Warner Bros. has
their way...
All this and more in this week's
edition of In Conversation.
