I am a very avid listener to NPR not because I am a liberal but because it is the best stuff to listen to in my car since I am averse to tearing up my car to install an aftermarket system. Very interesting debates and keeps me from becoming too self centered.

I used to (while reading for graduate business school in Boston) drive at breakneck speeds to get some lobster from Maine. Crazy days. But I have learnt quite a bit about the state and more after getting married to my wife who was originally from Maine.

I am probably most liberal when it comes to gun policy. I really do not know why people still want to exercise that constitutional right. I think though that anyone like me who comes from a foreign country is going to be a bit more incredulous about why people would like to arm themselves in a civilised country. Hmmm. But I do not want to get into a political debate especially since I drive fast petrol greedy German cars when the speed limit is only 55 mph. So, NPR keeps me honest.

I have been to Salzburg for only a short time. Not yet been to Vienna. Too short and saw that touristy Mozart Geburthaus. I never do anything too touristy and this was one of my shortest trips. I travel a lot since it is my passion. I am a relative newbie to music. Sorry.

Oh, I guess I may have misled you. I am NOT French. I just like the French way of life (not their way of business). I come from India, another country with a past history of grandeur like France, which always wants to be anti-American. Perhaps an inferiority complex on the part of these old powers - well, India is not an old power - an ancient power is more like it. Still it is as the sayings of the "wise man" go. Sometimes these kind of cultures do not jump into everything like we adventurous types do so they dont end up making mistakes approving drugs etc.

Being a full time capitalist, I am here enjoying movies, culture, travel, history and everything else that I would not have been able to enjoy earning next to nothing in either of these other countries. So, I do not know whether it is the Anglo Saxon work ethic or what that has contributed to this fantastic business model but I love it and take it with all its shortcomings.
