Amartya Sen interview on NPR

Here's the audio interview of Amartya Sen on NPR. (Click on "Listen" and RealPlayer gives the best results).

The interview principally deals with his book "The Argumentative Indian". Makes for good listening. And of course, eases the way for more debate.

Update:
Enjoyed his dressing-down of that Derek dude.

Brownies!

"Let's go home and make some brownies!" is by far one of the best lines I've heard in recent memory! In fact, this could be a pick up line for single desi men in the US trying to hit on women:

"Hey Baby? You wanna go back to my place and make some brownies?"

Actually that sounds more like a crude proposal of sorts. Well, I'm not going to risk testing that statement! :) Good luck to whomsoever tries that line. And if it works, don't forget to make me some too!

What?! I'm talking about baking brownies in the kitchen-oven? What'd you think I was talking about?

Hee hee!
