Some comments including what some have already pointed out :

- Naans are not usually made in Indian homes. They are much more common in restaurants. They are also not considered to be as healthy as rotis or phulkas.

- Indians (mostly North Indians) eat rotis, chapatis , phulkas (basically an inflated chapati) or parathas.

- A well made phulka or paratha can be absolutely delicious.

- There are many kinds of parathas and the food has long ago spread south where they have their own kinds.

- I don't think dosas or appams can be considered breads. I think they're closer to crepes.

- There seems to be much missing from this list including some Goan breads (can't recall the names) and some other South Indian types.

Nah. I think there are more than a few of us around. I mostly avoid using my smart phone and I don't have a data plan. I had to buy it because I was travelling abroad and it was a light device I could use to communicate and take photos with. Most of my work is done on my laptop.

Nice! interesting read. I searched online for some photos and more information and there is some confusion between actual blue people and people who turned blue due to some chemical (silver colloid) action.

Also, there seems to be a lack of trustworthy photographs of people with the inherited severe methemoglobinemia condition. I searched for about 5-6 minutes and couldn't find a good source.

I agree with Stephen. A while ago I came to the conclusion that widespread use of social media such as FB, tumblr and Twitter (especially twitter), has caused a severe degradation in public discourse and conversation.

Take hard copies of those pictures and also consider having them transferred to film/negative. (I wonder if there will be a demand for this in the future)

Have been playing AoE on and off for a while now. Still like the game. Wish I had more time to play it. It has certain playing qualities that hold one's interest over time. Even when compared to other more modern games.

I'm not terribly surprised. I stopped using Groupon 3-4 years ago after a couple of bad experiences, watching the CEO in an interview on TV and also learning about how some small businesses were negatively affected.

I think there is a class of business ideas that may seem good in the beginning but eventually fail for various reasons.

Somewhat of a tangent but its very annoying to me the word "sharing" has been misappropriated by companies like AirBnB and Uber. Nobody is sharing anything, they're renting out their homes or giving people rides for money. Stop misusing the word.
