Hey maven - Good to see you here. Mercilessly start bothering you liver
so that we can hear more from you! ;-) Hope all is well, including your academics! yacc - I thought about starting "Love in the time of Cholera" but picked "The life of Pi" instead. I bet Gabriel has given equal justice to "Love in the time of Cholera". So many people putting in their lists, gives option to others.

I am also reading "Eleven Minutes" by Paulo Coelho although I have not been able to go beyond few chapters. I hope to finish it in two weeks, as I expect myself to be waiting more in stop lights. Ya, I read books while I drive. DWI or DWR?

I am looking for some Hindu texts that can help me build my argument
that Nepal can claim on the copyright/IPR of Yoga. As far as possible,
I want to say just "NO" to India. I want to undo everything that have
happened through IPR global regime. I want to claim yoga on behalf of
Nepal as Hindu Indigenous knowledge and Nepal's intellectual property.
I want to slap Bikram Yoga. He has copyrighted many postures of ancient
yoga and some breathing exercises under existing IPR. Nepal remained a
Hindu country throughout her history as we know. What if we can bring
Agastya Muni ( He Agastya Muni...)
as our Yoga originator. Patanjali or Agastya muni? will be initial my
RQ. Just working on Primary resources. Hard job. I have found many
Yoga postured images of Agastya muni in Kathmandu. Yoga Dakshinmurti....Nepal
should claim on Yoga, now a multi-billion dollar transnational, global
business which is getting a franchisee of moguls like Bikram choudhury
starting from downtown Los Angeles. If any of you've knowledge on these issues to share with me....I would appreciate

"Eleven Minutes" - The theme revolves around the "love". Does this book really trigger minds? yacc - For a moment I thought "Pi" was all about 3.14, instead happened to be someone's intriguing story! "The Broker" by John Grisham is on the fire at the moment! :-)

True to the Samsara's words, here's his review on perhaps the best conspiracy theory book he's read so far: Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins
Confessions of an Economic Hitman (for shorts I'll call it CoaEH) is supposedly the real life events of John Perkins, an economic-development cosultant with Chas T. Main under the guise of being an Economic Hitman for the NSA. This book could've been similar to the warped theories of Chuck Barris, creator of The Gong Show in the movie Confessions of a Dangerous Mind where both authors are covert agents for the govt under the guise of being regular joes in a foreign land.
CoaEH was an eye-opener to modern day world events that had its seeds sown during/after WWII. For all you developmental economics freaks out there wondering why the World bank/IMF development models never seem to work in the Less Developed Countries (LDCs), this book will sum up what academicians have been speculating and unsuccessfully trying to prove for decades...Enuff of blaming the corruption, incentives, political instability, etc...The models used by these economic advisors to get loans from the IMF for the LDCs itself were bogus. A deception in the making larger than a gadzillion Enrons, Bear Stearns, sub-prime and whatever market crashes we've had so far.
This book is a must read for all young economists. And while at it go ahead and draw a parallel to the economic development environment in Nepal...an eerie resemblance! It left me wondering "Is Economic Development a good thing? What are its costs to society? Why/How people consciously sell their souls to make loans to LDCs which they know beforehand can never be paid back (millions therefore succumb to poverty related causes)? Because of the US' foreign economic policies, what events may transpire here, say, within the next 10 years?" and the questions go on and on...
All in all, John Perkins is da man: A real-life pen and paper wielding James Bond...And they still say economics is for geeks??? ![](http://www.sajha.com/sajha/chat/smileys/m-clown.gif) ![](http://www.sajha.com/sajha/chat/smileys/m-laugh.gif)
