Shashank in Africa: English 101 with the Eagles
http://shashankinafrica.blogspot.com/2007/04/english-101-with-eagles_6245.html
Friday, April 20, 2007. English 101 with the Eagles. This morning Omar, the irrepressible office manager, came into my room with an urgent request. "I hear you speak a little English," Omar said. (This is a classic Omar joke.) "What does this word mean? He showed me a notepad where he'd written "colitas." I'd never heard the word before. I knew that colitis was an intestinal disease, but I figured/hoped that's not what he came to ask. On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair. Night Ranger trawls KC.

Shashank in Africa: A rock star and a hard place
http://shashankinafrica.blogspot.com/2007/05/rock-star-and-hard-place.html
Wednesday, May 30, 2007. A rock star and a hard place. Jeffrey Sachs, author of The End of Poverty. And development economist to the stars (Bono wrote the foreword to his bestselling book and Angelina Jolie co-starred with him. In an MTV documentary on Africa), spoke last night in Nairobi to the foreign correspondents association. For not giving enough humanitarian aid, especially to Africa. He has calculated the amount of aid to Africa as $16 per poor person per year, over the last 60 years. When the Un...

Shashank in Africa: February 2006
http://shashankinafrica.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 22, 2006. Good advice from Nigeria. Posted by Shashank @ 8:34 AM. On my current trip to Uganda, however, I'm starting to think that my love is unrequited. Being brown-skinned in Uganda, you take on a complicated history - Indians were expelled by the dictator Idi Amin in the 1970s, but they've returned with a vengeance and now control a greater share of the country's economy than they do in Kenya or Tanzania. Not everyone is happy about this. Posted by Shashank @ 1:00 AM. Meanwhile, b...

Shashank in Africa: May 2006
http://shashankinafrica.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 19, 2006. A reader has written in, apparently in response to my most recent article. Maybe I've been out of the U.S. too long, but I didn't understand this. I think this reader has a good point in here somewhere and I'd like to know what it is. A little help? Original Message - - -. Friday, May 19, 2006 6:36 PM. You talk about white people who have it all. They talk about the white man in america who have it all. Why is it right for people think that only black people are the people of african.

Shashank in Africa: Another perspective on the unthinkable
http://shashankinafrica.blogspot.com/2007/04/another-perspective-on-unthinkable.html
Tuesday, April 17, 2007. Another perspective on the unthinkable. The Arab media are giving prominent coverage to the horrific events. At Virginia Tech yesterday. Al-Jazeera, al-Arabiya and Iraqi television have been reporting the story all morning, so that all the staff at lunch today knew that 32 people had been killed and nearly as many wounded in what everyone is now calling. The worst shooting incident in American history. N in the next few days, Blacksburg may be one for this decade. One of our driv...
