Imagine a world without borders, injustice and prejudice. Imagine a world where we live together as one human race, without “us” and “them”. It can happen. It happened today through film. I’m a huge supporter of TED and participating in one of their event surely open minds and sharing of ideas is inspiring, to put [...]

I plan on attending Google I/O. I’m looking forward to meeting and sharing with great minds. More importantly, I want to meet the brilliant minds behind one of today’s best technology. This time I’ve managed to combine a few meetings into one trip. I’m feeling pretty good about it.
On the other side of the globe [...]

I’m beyond stressed right now. I met my colleague for a dinner meeting at OK Cafe because I was famished and craved Southern comfort food. I was also looking for a change of scenery for inspiration. I drank 3 cups of coffee to see me through the night. I’m confident we’ll meet the deadline on [...]

I just saw the accident on I-85. Every time I learn of an accident I freak out, if I know anyone in those areas. I called a few friends who travel that highway and was relieved to know they are OK. I left a few voice messages with those who didn’t pick up their phones. [...]

I strongly believe people have the right to choose their own religion or faith, even if that means they have none. Or, as they call themselves: atheist or agnostic. In Singapore we call them “free thinkers”. I don’t have problems with any groups, no matter what they choose. However, I do have problems with “missionaries” [...]

I’ve busy weeks ahead. I was distracted last week and now need to get my act together to focus. A relaxing weekend helped and I’m ready to put on my work-hat.
So, the Olympics torch reached China. It’s a slap to Tibetans, only one other people in the world without a country. China has occupied Tibet [...]

It’s old news, but….
In her recent meeting with Dalai Lama, Pelosi said “we have lost all moral authority to speak on behalf of human rights anywhere in the world“, if we don’t speak out against China’s oppression towards Tibet. I agree, Pelosi lost her moral authority. She lost them when she supported an immoral war [...]

A non-practicing Muslim converting to Catholicism made headline news on CNN.com. The headline read “Prominent Muslim becomes Catholic on Easter“. Only after reading the article it’s clear that the man in question is not a practicing Muslim. But, CNN.com needed sensational headline to score enough hits or traffic for the day, I guess. How can [...]

I don’t know where to begin. The past weekend and the start of this week has been turbulent, to say the least. Mother Nature and Man seem to be in competition to outdo one another.
While residents of Atlanta and the surrounding areas experienced nature’s fury the last couple of days, Tibet is experiencing humans fury. [...]
