Death of a genre? Newspaper in pulp as a collectible

I clearly remember when The Illustrated Weekly went out of circulation in India, sometime in 1994 - the spread of it in the Library reading room is my last memory of it - a lasting one is the contents of the Thakkar Commission Report a decade earlier on Indira Gandhi's assasination. I also remember that pulp looks crude unless you are a romantic. A few trees saved. I hang on to the 1969 NYTimes that I bargained off an older friend, wonder if there's a Woodstock one - it isn't quite the same as the family medicinal concoctions written on palmyra leaves - I told you pulp is crude - not as a collectible;archives will beat you at it - the odds of some kid finding it sometime in the future - the thrill of it is pure and sweet:)

Only in India - skeletons in the cupboard..

Greenspan...tough act to follow?

Bernanke in. Legacy and agenda. Shorter cycles - fairly longer ebbs. Declining saving potential. Inflation. Eye on the ball - financial independence at the individual level - worthy goal - there would be no liquidity in a welfare state then?!

Rosa Parks dies

Changes start with acts, sometimes small, many a time courageous. Action at the edge of crisis; every crisis and the essential actors - you and I.

Biodiversity loss and surprises are key and almost underplayed.

Serenity - the movie

I forgot my day's memories - entertaining;nothing new.

waiting for california rains.. diaspora jungles..

a white halloween was simply my reality the last 3 years. back in ca, i await the monsoon equivalent - no rumbling clouds, no smell of the earth right before it rains - nevertheless it's as close as i get to a monsoon now. this fall is different - my spring continues; new adventures; alive again!

navigating a strange dose of culture and tradition or a semblance of it - a friend throws a navrathri-golu just so the growing daughter grasps her heritage [not sure why every generation tries so hard; so quickly people slip into roles] - vermilion got me in the mood though.

Nomination Aberration

John Roberts was the lucky aberration; Miers - right mired yet again!
