Happy Birthday Clarissa!

A birdie told me that it was your birthday so I got you these songs. One in Spanish by a cute baby boy

And one in Ukrainian by a bunch of University folks somewhere.

Happy birthday Clarissa. May your dreams come true, and thanks for being a cool professor, brilliant colleague, and supporter of this blog. 🙂

India Night

At the core of the events of yesterday evening was diversity, and India’s contribution to the world. India is the seventh-largest country in world by geographical area, the second-most populous country, and the most populous democracy in the world. It is home to one of the world’s oldest civilizations, and they gave us Yoga, Bollywood, Buddhism, long hair, Hinduism, Karma Sutra, and – as I discovered yesterday – the game of Chess, Ludo, and Snake & Ladders.

The night, just like the Africa Night, or the International Night here was for food, dancing, fashion, trivia and a general culture fest of the country. Here are pictures. it was memorable, to say the least.
