I heard about Seth Godin in some of the business quizzes that I follow, these days ( Yes, yes - nowadays I find them interesting). The first thing that struck me was that its a nice name. I somehow liked the sound of the name. I saw his picture and liked him more!

The statue of Vladimir Lenin flanked by the two clubs that are synonymous of capitalism.

Some of you might remember my rant some time ago about Navya's dislike/hatred for mangoes even though she is a big fan of the 'bina guthali waala aam'. Few weeks ago, all that changed and now she is almost on a 'a mango a day' routine. And I didn't even have to listen to Himeshhh.

But something out of the ordinary did happen on the day she started eating mangoes. That was the day JR and I won our first quiz together in a long time.
