I don't think this is the right forum to post it (though I agree that the article raises some very pertinent questions)

hahah ! No, still the error page

any hypotheses on what would have happened ?

I am sorry if it came across in a wrong way,

I agree that what drives us is a desire/passion seated deep within ourselves, but I wouldn't say it is irrational. Also, exposure to new environment can very well influence it.

That is the context in which I called it an 'illogical' option, as it would be more logical to explore other options, gains new experiences before committing oneself to the option of suicide, the option which is pretty much an end of road in itself.

While on the other hand, taking other road can kindle some new desire, and help give a new meaning to one's life, or give new perspectives, ultimately enabling one to achieve the original longings.

ofcourse suicide is illogical !

And since you are a logical person, here's a (partly) logical advice - Take a break. Go on a vacation, or even better, go on exploring. Its highly likely that you'll gain new perspective (followed by seeing new opportunities, and new interest).

Don't leave the job unless you have a better option.

Just an advertisement, and a good one at that, looking at the amount of news coverage it has managed to attract.

People here are using RC Quadcopters (which is what this is likely to be) even for things like wedding photography :D

I like the idea, and the objective it aims at fulfilling, I am not aware of the US regulations, but I think if you can hack a wristband like wearable gadget to work with it (of-course it needs to have a vibrator in it), then you can overcome the problem of keeping the cell phone close to your body.

I am not much aware about posterous, how different was it as compared to posthaven ?

In-fact, It is the very same philosophy that AAP stands for, that 'voting in elections != democracy',

The case study of this party is kind of a Proof of Concept, if you will, showing that -

1. Elections can be fought with clean money, ( and the kind of donations that they received (in terms of quanta of individual contribution), where the mode should be well below 20$s per cap. makes it kind of a crowd funded campaign )

2. The part that social media can play in mobilizing people and getting point across when traditional news media blacks you out.

3. Targeted manifestos, like targeted advertisements engage people more as compared to conventional 1-state-1-manifesto approach..

4. That there is a space for clean politics.

I am curious about how things will turn out for Delhi now, and for India in the coming LS elections.

This needed to be shared, thanks for putting in the effort ! [ I was thinking of writing a similar piece myself, but you just DID it ]

more of a gimmick, The results will be completely different, ultimately the editors will decide.. clever way to generate hits :/
