Down and Out In Paris and Bangalore

I’m in Bangalore after two days in Paris, sipping my mother’s strong coffee and sort of gazing off into the horizon from our balcony. And OK, I’m not as impecunious as George Orwell was when he wrote the book that influences the title of this blog post. I’m just taking some artistic license.

I spent two days in Paris, traveling with Vice Vik, also on his way to Bangalore. Paris was awash in a constant drizzle, but I stayed in Le Marais in a quirky little hotel and still walked around a great deal. This whole trip has been a wonderful geographically staggered homecoming. And I’m awash in sentiment.

Web Standards: A Question of Relevance

‘So, off to see Sir Walter Wendel Worthington?’

Everyone pauses and looks at C. I’ve just told my peer group in San Francisco that I’m off to a W3C Advisory Committee meeting and I’ve briefly explained to C and the others what the W3C is, and how it works.

He can’t resist, apparently.
