Fun trivia – Liberia is the only other country which follows the imperial unit system like US does. You know - those units which make less sense in rest of the world – gallons, miles, Fahrenheit etc... The reason for this is pretty interesting and a quick glance at their <a href="http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/6618.htm#history">history </a>will put things in perspective. A further glance at their recent history will answer queries on US (ironically) and other countries had imposed sanctions, why an eight of water vessels on earth are registered in Liberia, and why all major natural resource companies (metals, minerals, oils etc.. ) are flocking to this country.</p> <p>Don’t worry if you didn’t know of any of these (let alone where it is on the map). I found about the country when my friend ‘goan gujju’ decided to take the leap and explore the unchartered. Read his ramblings here - <a href="http://gujjuinliberia.blogspot.com/">gujjuinliberia.blogspot.com</a>.

The city throws up many surprises not found in any guides/books. One beautiful surprise is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_harmonica">Glass Harmonica</a>. Invented by benjamin Franklin, the instrument produces melodius music. This adds one more invention to Benjamin Franklin's list... Is there anything which he did not do??? So, coming back to the Instrument, you might have seen something similar in the movie 'Ms Congeniality', where sandra bullock play music out of some wine glasses. The Instrument uses the same concept of rubbing wet fingers over the rim of wine glasses. But the clever Mr. Franklin took those glases, removerd the stem and put them on a spindle.</p> <p>So if you do happen to visit Boston, head out to harward square or the paul revere house.

Not the Nehru clan - Mahatma Gandhi. Chances are you either remember the sketch on dandi march or the one we used to see on DD. Am still trying to figure who to be credited for the DD sketch - i somehow (read through propreitary internet search technique) found who drew the dandi sketch. In addition to the "gandhi-walking-towards-dandi" sketch, Nandala Bose (or Basu??) was a teacher, principal at Shantiniketan and a wonderful artist. Along with his disciples, he designed the constitution of India (designed - not drafted). Or rather provided illustrations, calligraphy and border art for the constitution of Republic of India. More details on art on the constitution in later posts. But as for now - some of Nandlal's art:</p> <p><strong>Nandlal Bose, Artist, </strong><span class="st">1882 - 1996 </span></p> <blockquote> <p><span class="st">Also Nandalāla </span><span class="st">Basu</span></p> <p>A gifted and lyrical draftsman, Bose was a highly creative and intellectual artist and teacher whose work never remained static. Throughout his long career he explored a variety of styles and diverse mediums that captured his poetic—almost religious—vision of nature.</p> <p>Nandlal Bose was born in 1882 in Bihar. He studied at the Calcutta Government College of Art under Abanindranath Tagore between 1905-10. He taught at the Indian School of Oriental Art and was principal at Kala Bhavan, Santiniketan between 1922-51.</p> <p>Since 1911, Bose has exhibited in several national and international exhibitions</p> </blockquote> <p><span style="font-size: x-small;">source; </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.contemporaryindianart.com/nandlal_bose.htm">http://www.contemporaryindianart.com/nandlal_bose.htm</a> & </span><a href="http://www.philamuseum.org/exhibitions/322.html?page=2"><span style="font-size: x-small;">http://www.philamuseum.org/exhibitions/322.html?page=2</span></a></p> <p><em><strong>Imp links</strong></em></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Nandlal-Bose/132378173465861">nandlal bose - fb page (yeah - he even has an fb page)</a></li> <li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nandalal_Bose">nandlal bose - wiki page</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www.calcuttaweb.com/people/nandalal.shtml">nandlal bose - bio - calcuttaweb</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2008/08/20/arts/design/20080820_BOSE_SLIDESHOW_index.html">nandlal bose - nytimes slideshow on the artist</a><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.contemporaryindianart.com/nandlal_bose.htm"></a><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <img alt="Dolanchampa" height="500" src="http://getfile7.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-03-09/FpfBwhaywqaplhlyeJzctwFhsagCodhhzsbasAJsgeJEwhGAJBalEBEsisuw/DolanChampa.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="453" /> <img alt="Gandhimarch" height="500" src="http://getfile6.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-03-09/weHCbtxrqlxnIHyAmvqdurwJIHboJcjmlgfkpxseupbgGFbuGcJsdtcGpmuf/GandhiMarch.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="318" /> <img alt="Saraswati" height="500" src="http://getfile2.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-03-09/kCwwaugboflehDuxiFssyjhmdtaGysJDhgpBIqvakwFrxuoxFHFoxlyBmfzk/Saraswati.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="208" /> <a href="http://getfile7.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-03-09/kJefdEpinnzqrHkDvjwztBwtAaznGFovGjjDDgztvfBExGFIEnvGCasGFIIF/Sati1943Goldwashandtemperaonpape-1.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img alt="Sati1943goldwashandtemperaonpape-1" height="691" src="http://getfile4.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-03-09/kJefdEpinnzqrHkDvjwztBwtAaznGFovGjjDDgztvfBExGFIEnvGCasGFIIF/Sati1943Goldwashandtemperaonpape-1.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://getfile3.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-03-09/EhatubHAeFxrpmDrvldaxtDufczuAcmwukgCDoupfCiynFEosmDBttDdqsjm/SivadrinkingWorldPoisonNationalGall.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img alt="Sivadrinkingworldpoisonnationalgall" height="696" src="http://getfile9.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-03-09/EhatubHAeFxrpmDrvldaxtDufczuAcmwukgCDoupfCiynFEosmDBttDdqsjm/SivadrinkingWorldPoisonNationalGall.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://getfile2.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-03-09/klgCgflBgJzjAxkdcyHdAnICvzrxBirpxojdEgxojoimjpBmhDoIAGFmeEdA/nandalalwithstudent.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img alt="Nandalalwithstudent" height="667" src="http://getfile4.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-03-09/klgCgflBgJzjAxkdcyHdAnICvzrxBirpxojdEgxojoimjpBmhDoIAGFmeEdA/nandalalwithstudent.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://getfile0.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-03-09/xCoodAloFdHtshohzggmqEkcIiyGaHibbwiEtBsqucGjDEBDydmuBBcbmFyx/RadhasViharaNationalGalleryofMod-1.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img alt="Radhasviharanationalgalleryofmod-1" height="822" src="http://getfile5.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-03-09/xCoodAloFdHtshohzggmqEkcIiyGaHibbwiEtBsqucGjDEBDydmuBBcbmFyx/RadhasViharaNationalGalleryofMod-1.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <div class='p_see_full_gallery'><a href="http://demonstrate.posterous.com/109662459">See the full gallery on Posterous</a></div> </div> </span></p> <p> </p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://demonstrate.posterous.com/109662459">DEMONstrate</a> </p> </div>http://maheepmandloi.blogspot.com/2012/03/art-of-nandalal-bose.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16270326.post-6509531248093267258Sat, 10 Mar 2012 05:09:00 +00002012-03-10T00:09:30.192-05:00The Art of Beohar Rammanohar Sinha<div class='posterous_autopost'><p>Long name, but then artists are not defined by the length of their name.

Rajan says inequality was rising in US and in order to avoid protests, politicians let people eat cheap credit. As people got cheap money, there were there were no real protests on rising inequality and people moved on. However rising credit led to other weaknesses in the financial system and as it happens in most crisis, a credit euphoria led to a bubble and then a crisis. So that is broadly Rajan’s discourse on why the crisis happened.</li> <li>This has <a href="http://mostlyeconomics.wordpress.com/2011/10/10/why-nations-fail-interviewprofile-of-daron-acemoglu/" target="_blank">been countered</a> by Daron Acemoglu saying politicians have stopped responding to needs of lower class a long ago. They have just been looking at the top income class. The latter has captured the former  as a result we see higher incomes at the top and rising inequality. The seeds of the crisis were sown by this risk seeking top income class which took up higher leverage and made more and more money. When the risk turned other way, we had a huge crisis on hand.</li> </ol> <p style="font-size: 1.05em; color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Grande,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px;">Empiral analysis is required to establish any correlation between crisis and inequality. A paper by Michael Bordo and Christopher Meissner<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.economics.hawaii.edu/research/abstracts/mar16_12Bordo.pdf" target="_blank" style="color: #0066cc; text-decoration: none;">looks at history</a>and says inequality does not seem to be the  reason for the crisis. Credit booms mostly lead to financial crisis but inequality does not really lead to credit booms. Low interest rates and growing economy are the two main factors leading to credit booms:</p> <p style="font-size: 1.05em; color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Grande,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; padding-left: 30px;"><em>Our paper looks for empirical evidence for the recent Rajan (2010) and Kumhof/Rancière (2011) hypothesis attributing the US subprime mortgage crisis to rising inequality redistributive government housing policy and a credit boom. Using data from a panel of 14 countries for over 120 years, we find strong evidence linking credit booms to banking crises, but no evidence that risingincome concentration was a significant determinant of credit booms. Narrative evidence on the US experience in the 1920s, and that of other countries, casts further doubt on the role of rising inequality.</em></p> <p style="font-size: 1.05em; color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Grande,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; padding-left: 30px;"><em>We do find significant evidence that rising real income and falling interest rates are important determinants of credit booms. This evidence is more consistent with the alternative story of Borio and White (2003) attributing credit booms and crises in the past three decades to the Great Moderation which created a benign environment conducive to rising credit. It is also consistent with other empirical work that covers the period 1960-2002 (Mendoza and Terrones, 2008). The negative and significant relationship of short-term interest  rates and credit growth may also be consistent with the story of for example Taylor (2009) or Meltzer (2010) who attribute the U.S. housing boom to expansionary policy by the Federal Reserve in the early 2000s in an attempt to prevent perceived deflation. Moreover housing booms and busts in other countries did not reflect redistributive housing policy, but in the period before the Great Moderation  they occurred in episodes of expansionary monetary policy. Regardless of whether the Borio and White story or a simpler monetary policy story is the true explanation for credit booms that lead to financial crises it seems pretty clear from this examination of the data that they have little to do with rising income inequality.</em></p> </div> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://demonstrate.posterous.com/did-inequality-cause-the-crisis-via-mostly-ec">DEMONstrate</a> </p> </div>http://maheepmandloi.blogspot.com/2012/03/did-inequality-cause-crisis-via-mostly.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16270326.post-6894023107731898958Thu, 08 Mar 2012 16:03:00 +00002012-03-08T11:03:54.433-05:00atheistreligionsneezeTo sneeze... or not to sneeze<div class='posterous_autopost'><div class="zemanta-img" style="float: right; display: block; margin: 1em;"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hapci-fr.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/70/Hapci-fr.gif" height="142" alt="Fred Ott's Sneeze (film by William K.L.

A "bless you" is the most common response to a sneeze. Why? My proprietary web search technique reveals it is something to do with one becoming vulnerable to devil while sneezing or heart skipping a beat. So the caring+religious peoples started blessing sneezers (is that even a word). Somewhat like "may god save you from the devil, for you sneezed". Though its meaning is lost now and it’s more like an automated response. Like "hello" on phone. People say it for no reason at all.</span></p> <p style="background: white;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">An atheist finds himself in a fix while dealing with sneezes. How should one respond to a sneeze... and more over.. how should one respond to a "bless you". The first part is the easier one, just say nothing or at best "you ok" or "good health". The later is difficult. Have few responses handy, but do keep in mind that it may be taken offensively.</span></p> <ol type="1"> <li style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;">which god</span></li> <li style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;">what about goddess?</span></li> <li style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;">and you didn’t mention allah</span></li> <li style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;">no he won't</span></li> <li style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;">thanks but no thanks</span></li> </ol> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> Related articles <ul class="zemanta-article-ul"> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.everydayhealth.com/cold-and-flu/what-happens-when-you-sneeze.aspx" target="_blank">What Happens When You Sneeze?</a> (everydayhealth.com)</li> </ul> <div class="zemanta-pixie" style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;"><a href="http://www.zemanta.com/" class="zemanta-pixie-a" title="Enhanced by Zemanta"><img class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/zemified_e.png?x-id=fb1132c1-4349-4d84-96a9-1e07c830ca9f" alt="Enhanced by Zemanta" style="border: none; float: right;" /></a></div> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://demonstrate.posterous.com/to-sneeze-or-not-to-sneeze">DEMONstrate</a> </p> </div>http://maheepmandloi.blogspot.com/2012/03/to-sneeze-or-not-to-sneeze.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16270326.post-4676382179274237128Tue, 06 Mar 2012 14:46:00 +00002012-03-06T09:46:08.579-05:00madison avenueNewyorkskyscraperan incomplete dream – 11 Madison Avenue<br /> <div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">I always knew that there was something incomplete about this building. 11 <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madison_Avenue" rel="wikipedia" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Madison Avenue">Madison Avenue</a> or EMA as it is fondly known.

</p> <p>So facebook has launched its IPO… Lots been said about it <a

</a>and <a href="http://www.bing.com/news/search?q=facebook+IPO&qpvt=facebook+IPO&FORM=Z7FD">there</a>.</p> <p>But hey, in the whole process, where is the user? Wasn’t facebook suppose to be “user-centric”?? We all now what happens if investors run companies. And then we also know how clueless companies are if they are run by founders (read google). So facebook should do something different. Something new. Going the IPO route is very old-school and not fb like. After all the stock exchange won’t autopost on FB if I buy FB (yes that’s the ticker they are aiming for).</p> <p>The company should raise money through its user-base and let them trade the shares on facebook. How about that?? 500 million users can each contribute $10 to raise $5bb. Given wha tpeople spend on online games, FB credits etc... most of the userbase should be on board with a $10 share price. A lottery system can be used if number of applicants are more than 500mm. There can be some flexibility here in terms of max share per user - say 5 or 10. All users should be given stock-credits which could be later traded on the website. And just like the exchange, prices would be determined by stock-credit trading.  The big investors can then jump in here and trade FB credits for FB stock-credits. And about that conflict of interest, well an SEC app on fb platform can take care of it.</p> <p>Trading can be 24x7. No middlemen involved. And given the userbase, there would be ample liquidity - across the globe. Voting rights will also flow to the share holders. And management releated polls can be easily done on fb platform.</p> <p>Shareholder meeting can be done online, implies less expenditure on travelling and renting hotels etc... Company-Investor meetings too can take place online with ease. All on the FB platform.</p> <p>Am i missing something here or is facebook just another offshoot of the capitalist society.</p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://blog.maheep.in/how-the-fb-ipo-should-be">DEMONstrate</a> </p> </div>http://maheepmandloi.blogspot.com/2012/02/how-fb-ipo-should-be.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16270326.post-4052580625164506016Sun, 29 Jan 2012 02:10:00 +00002012-01-28T21:10:30.912-05:00Vintage posters - temple tour of india<div class='posterous_autopost'><p>This just keeps getting better... found these old posters on Indian Tourism.

While most of them stick to elephant, TWA had beautifully used an indian lady for one of the posters. thumbs up to TWA. AirFrace seemed bit modern-art types. British Airways or erstwile Imperial Airways used temples, forts and "6-day" London to India via Egypt posters.<br /> In addition there are few AirIndia posters. Most of them belong to the golder era of 50s and 60s - under the art direction of J. B. Cowasji, Air India Design Studio, Bombay. They are simple yet powerful. AirIndia needs to bring back "The Maharaja" and maintain an international identity.<br /> <br /> <div class="p_embed p_image_embed"> <div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em;

If you are a tourist, it’s pretty easy. You already have planned your trip, booked transportation, booked hotels, carried some supplies and even carried some cash/card for shopping and impulsive spending. Since you will still go back to where you came from, the experience good (and some times not-good) is only momentary. But my plight is slightly different on this one. Though I am in firang land, unfortunately I am not a tourist. The whole experience is loaded with multiple shocks.</p> <p>To start with, there is this <strong>“culture shock”</strong> which all desi talk about. There is this <strong>“FX shock”</strong> which you experience unless you get your salary in new currency. There’s also the <strong>“Weather shock”</strong> – Now how can you expect someone from equator to understand Canada’s freezing snowy weather. There’s also a <strong>“Development shock” </strong>– you are so amazed at the new developed economy, but deeply miss your developing economy for its cheap labour. Or it might be the other way as well – you are amazed at the chaos and how much a developing/under-developed country has accomplished... but deeply miss the civilized “developed” world. Its not that one is not prepared for the shocks. But, no mater how much you prepare for it, you’ll still experience it. Say, more like touching a live wire.</p> <p>For the tech bend… it is like transitioning from Windows to a Mac. You have heard about it… everyone loves it… but the moment you sit down with it, you hate that all your windows tips-tricks don’t work over here. I mean all. To start with… there is no “Start” button. There is no “program files”… now where the hell is the control panel… and how does one refresh the screen…And why is it so smooth and fast. But at the end of theday, it doesn’t make much diff… cause we end up using Macs and PCs for surfing the internet.</p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://blog.maheep.in/transitioning-to-the-bigapple">DEMONstrate</a> </p> </div>http://maheepmandloi.blogspot.com/2012/01/transitioning-to-bigapple.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16270326.post-5251587883275577011Wed, 04 Jan 2012 22:58:00 +00002012-01-04T17:58:21.936-05:00Its all relative<div class='posterous_autopost'><p><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a href="http://getfile5.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-01-04/sdvogthotokgBFmjpvnybfcltoDrycnaEBzCImHxAklCewtyDwdIwDChtpqE/relativity.PNG.scaled1000.png"><img alt="Relativity" height="280" src="http://getfile4.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-01-04/sdvogthotokgBFmjpvnybfcltoDrycnaEBzCImHxAklCewtyDwdIwDChtpqE/relativity.PNG.scaled500.png" width="500" /></a> </div> </p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://blog.maheep.in/its-all-relative">DEMONstrate</a> </p> </div>http://maheepmandloi.blogspot.com/2012/01/its-all-relative.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16270326.post-5647739105996779385Mon, 26 Dec 2011 07:11:00 +00002011-12-26T02:11:08.795-05:00Don ko pakdna mushkil hi nahin... na mumkin hai...<div class='posterous_autopost'><p>That is if you do not catch sleep instead... the best thing about the movie was its title track.. which guess is the only thing they havent changed since the original DON movie.. not the prequel to this one ... the one with Amitabh Bacchan...</p> <p>A lot has been said about the movie <a href="http://www.thehindu.com/arts/cinema/article2744512.ece" title="Hindu review">here</a>, <a href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/movies/la-et-don-2-20111226,0,7607907.story" title="LAtimes review">here</a>, and before you get tired of clicking on each link.. here's the <a href="http://www.hindustantimes.com/Entertainment/Bollywood/Critics-verdict-Don-2-gets-mixed-reports/Article1-786010.aspx" title="HT summary">summary for major critics.</a>..</p> <p>The film is actually not that bad.. its pretty good after the first two halves....</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://blog.maheep.in/don-ko-pakdna-mushkil-hi-nahin-na-mumkin-hai">DEMONstrate</a> </p> </div>http://maheepmandloi.blogspot.com/2011/12/don-ko-pakdna-mushkil-hi-nahin-na.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16270326.post-7789490524098031515Mon, 19 Dec 2011 23:58:00 +00002011-12-19T18:58:48.658-05:0012/19/11 PHD comic: 'The Claus Hypothesis'lol.... had to share this one...<div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.phdcomics.com/comics.php?f=1457">12/19/11 PHD comic: 'The Claus Hypothesis'</a>: <center><br /><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bg style="text-align: -webkit-center;"> <tbody><tr> <td><b><span >Piled Higher<br /> & Deeper</span><span > <i> by Jorge<br /> Cham</i></span></b></td> <td> </td> <td><br /> <div align="right"><b><span >www.phdcomics.com</span></b></div><br /> </td> </tr> <tr align="center"> <td colspan="3"><span ><img alt="Click on the title below to read the comic" src="http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive/phd121911s.gif" border="0" align="top" /></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3"><br /><div align="center"></div></td></tr></tbody></table></center></div>http://maheepmandloi.blogspot.com/2011/12/121911-phd-comic-claus-hypothesis.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16270326.post-2970933964474088780Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:34:00 +00002011-12-19T09:38:12.939-05:00checklistChennaiIndiatodoChennai checklist....<div class="posterous_autopost"> Things to do before you leave chennai...

Chennai, unline other India cities does not have any pre-british historic significance. Like other british port cities (Mumbai, Kolkatta, Colombo), Chennai was established for the port with a fort at its center. Fort St. George was that anchor for Chennai. Two centuries later immigrants helped expand the city to its current shape. Like Kolkata, Chennai too has a sizeable population of trader communities like the Marwaris. Owing to its location, it also had an influx of traders from Andra. The city was a big part of the British regime in India. No wonder the first Governer of Madras was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elihu_Yale" title="yale" target="_blank">Elihu Yale</a>, after whom Yale University is named. The City expanded beyond the Fort over year.</p> <p>Here's how it looked in 1921 - with the Fort at center of expansion.</p> <p><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <img alt="Madras_19211" height="542" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2011-10-18/njEjFuuyppCCvcnHICdHemcgzfCDlnbJyyAaxnbbHwutfiDanABrvAmCutib/Madras_19211.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="351" /> </div> </p> <p>The city later expanded to take its current <a href="http://maps.google.co.in/maps?oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&q=google+maps+chennai&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x3a5265ea4f7d3361:0x6e61a70b6863d433,Chennai,+Tamil+Nadu&gl=in&ei=HFudTpShAoGRiQfzp5ScCQ&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CDcQ8gEwAA" title="gmaps" target="_blank">form</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p>But an interesting part of Chennai goes by the name <strong>"Burma Bazar"</strong>. While Burma has some British history, the Bazar is in Chennai for a different reason. Apparently when the Japs attacked Burma during WWII, many PIOs in Burma wanted to come back... mostly PTOs (tamil origin). The then GOI allowed them to seek refuge in Chennai where they could sell random stuff from Burma till they make decent money to start other businesses or get employed elsewhere.</p> <p>Post independence, political landscape in Burma forced many PIOs to seek refuge in Chennai and Burma Bazar grew. The Bazar, which is a series of small shops along the road near beach station, is still buzzing with activity. The shops mainly sell grey market electronic goods, maybe due to its close proximity to the port.
