Raju Hirve took us to the hanging garden at Malabar hill. This same kid was selling the peacock feather fans there. We were not interested in buying anything. He started talking to Joe and even though Joe was saying no, he kept at it with various arguments. He also did his sales pitch in different languages. He kept referring to the fan as “Indian air conditioner”. Joe was so impressed by his enthusiasm and talent that he bought one fan.  I am amazed to see it on Youtube now.</p> <p>great talent (by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQP9oOOJK70">kajahari</a>)</p>http://vishwas.me/post/14614672048http://vishwas.me/post/14614672048Thu, 22 Dec 2011 08:12:49 -0500<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/RIg1Vh7uPyw?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Higg’s Boson explained in easy terms</p>http://vishwas.me/post/14215630645http://vishwas.me/post/14215630645Wed, 14 Dec 2011 09:59:01 -0500<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Iyt16efRrBo?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>First ever flash mob in India - CST Station, Mumbai (via <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/shonankothari#p/a/u/0/Iyt16efRrBo">shonankothari’s Channel - YouTube</a>)</p>http://vishwas.me/post/13589885912http://vishwas.me/post/13589885912Thu, 01 Dec 2011 09:38:09 -0500<object width="400" height="284"> <param name="movie" value="http://video.ted.com/assets/player/swf/EmbedPlayer.swf" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="bgColor" value="#ffffff" /><param name="flashvars" value="vu=http://video.ted.com/talk/stream/2011G/Blank/MarkusFischer_2011G-320k.mp4&su=http://images.ted.com/images/ted/tedindex/embed-posters/MarkusFischer-2011G.embed_thumbnail.jpg&vw=512&vh=288&ap=0&ti=1195&lang=&introDuration=15330&adDuration=4000&postAdDuration=830&adKeys=talk=a_robot_that_flies_like_a_bird;year=2011;theme=tales_of_invention;theme=what_s_next_in_tech;theme=animals_that_amaze;theme=new_on_ted_com;theme=a_taste_of_tedglobal_2011;event=TEDGlobal+2011;tag=Design;tag=Technology;tag=animals;tag=biomechanics;tag=biomimicry;tag=robots;&preAdTag=tconf.ted/embed;tile=1;sz=512x288;" /><embed src="http://video.ted.com/assets/player/swf/EmbedPlayer.swf" pluginspace="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="400" height="284" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="vu=http://video.ted.com/talk/stream/2011G/Blank/MarkusFischer_2011G-320k.mp4&su=http://images.ted.com/images/ted/tedindex/embed-posters/MarkusFischer-2011G.embed_thumbnail.jpg&vw=512&vh=288&ap=0&ti=1195&lang=&introDuration=15330&adDuration=4000&postAdDuration=830&adKeys=talk=a_robot_that_flies_like_a_bird;year=2011;theme=tales_of_invention;theme=what_s_next_in_tech;theme=animals_that_amaze;theme=new_on_ted_com;theme=a_taste_of_tedglobal_2011;event=TEDGlobal+2011;tag=Design;tag=Technology;tag=animals;tag=biomechanics;tag=biomimicry;tag=robots;&preAdTag=tconf.ted/embed;tile=1;sz=512x288;"></embed></object> <br/><br/><p>A robot that flies like a bird - <span>Plenty of robots can fly — but none can fly like a real bird.
