This is an open thread. Is there anything you’d like me to make a post on? Have you ever pondered on a problem and thought “I wonder what that pompous, arrogant and condescending Cartelian Ravi would say about this?” Ask it here. If there is any topic from my previous posts where you’ve thought that I did not address, maybe evaded, a point, ask it here. I will answer some of the questions that in posts.
I will prefer those posts that make me think. For example, I really wanted to answer this comment:
Would you say there should be a legislation that will punish this judge? If so of what kind? Or is this to be viewed as okay in the interest of free speech? Thanks.
This was on my post on burning the American flag. The link in question related to an Indian judge making derogatory remarks about women lawyers. I don’t know if it was asked as a sarcastic question, but it is still an interesting one and I would like to answer it. Likewise which question would you like answered?
is a motion picture the business it does at the box office?
Its funny when bloggers try to act like celebrities by making these “ask-me-an-opinion” posts.
And Gaurav, what the hell is Meldo?
Ravikiran, I think YOU should answer the question.
If people can make all sorts of skewed assumptions and hypothesis, hardly any of which naturally follow naturally from libertarian principles, and then ask you to solve the problem in a libertarian way, surely I am entitled to ask you what Meldo means when it is my own fault (a typo) that brought it into the discussion in the first place.
😉
Naveen, I think it is funny too. Wouldn’t it be hilarious if my offer turned out to be an April fool joke?
(Note to others: It isn’t, but then you’ll have to trust me on that.)
GauravSabnis: your earlier comment suggests you did not understand much of above; which is sad. Perhaps I should systematize my comments above into a coherent post.
I might also answer the Meldo question for you in my post. I’m chocolatey and nice like that.
Ravikiran: but is it more funny or less if such a post also gets a lot of responses? =)
Another question (In case this is an April Fool joke) What is libertarian position on lynching?
7*6, If it helps, my joke wasn’t directed towards you at all.
GauravSabnis: sorry for that then =)
Not that my comments weren’t rambly; I’ll cohere them soon.
As props here is the answer to your Meldo question:
Because they are Bached in Mozt Wagnerful Choc. Vats.
Ok, it def. seemed funnier in my mind. Well, at least it serves as a clue to the typo.
Hi Ravikiran,
I had seen this post when there were no comments, but looking at the number of comments and questions here, my question is,
Are you/ Can you answer all of these ? 🙂
Anyways..congrats on new job..and welcome back to India.
Rgds,

I guess Im going to take an advantage of an open ended invitation like this one. Im nidhi, work with webchutney, we have launched a contest running around what we think is India’s first online reality show at oktatabyebye.com. Have been trying (hard) to spread the buzz through blogs just to find out how successful that can be and how many people actually sign up after reading about it through blogs. About the contest, one person will go around the country for 15 days in Rs 50,000 and blog about it as he /she goes, talk about experiences, surviving India, put up pictures..all on the oktatabyebye blog. Would you be interested in lending support??
hey ravi..
somehow i visited your site and got impressed by the look and feel of the site.
could you guide me how can i set up my own web portal via wordpress so that i too can start blogging..
an early response will be highly appreciated.
Why is there so much snark online?
Whereever i go online: blogs, forums, games, websites, whatever – people are incredibly snarky, or will soon get snarky. Not at me; i mean in general.
@Ravikiran
We keep hearing so often about how much we (homo sapiens) have evolved as a species. Do you agree? If yes, how so? Aids, Global Warming, Cancer and lot of other plagues that plague our existence didn’t exist before? Animals were able to sense the approaching Tsunami and move to higher ground, but the smartest of them all, humans, were busy in their materialistic pleasures. Are we really smart or are we the dumbest?
what according to you is the best solution for mumbai’s heavy traffic? and why?
