An Indian Pen When I say that I haven't slept for more than 2 hours per night since Saturday night, I'm really and very sadly not joking. I just finished another magazine article for Smart Computing magazine ... and New York City was thrilling and exhausting (the way NYC should be); although, I'm sad that I didn't get to see many friends -- and I'm also super sad that I didn't get to hit more restaurants. Not to knock the ABC commissary, but that's not where I want to eat when I visit Manhattan.
The most fantastic thing about this trip to New York? I was taking a cab to Brooklyn, and the driver was your standard immigrant; this time, from India. Trying to make conversation (because conversations with taxi drivers are my favorite conversations), I asked Mr. Singh if he liked driving a cab. He glared at me in the rear view mirror. "What else could I do?" Full-on indignation in his voice. What he said next was like an angry Zen aphorism. He grabbed a pen from the dashboard, thrust it over his shoulder, stuck it through the plexiglass window, and said: "If you given only this pen then what you do this?" I didn't answer him, but all I could think was: "You work. You work hard." // posted at
