Conclusions about the world can be same. Like, everyone wants the same in life is a popular conclusion seen in several travel blogs. But we're talking about life lessons here, which I think, are not absolutes but drawn differently by

IMHO, different world travellers come up with different life lessons. It all depends on the person's own prejudices. Lessons are not in the world, they're within you. World and societies are just tools to discover our own selves.

Manipulate minorities by using Pakistan? What are you even talking about?

The problem with Python community is, when comparing Python with Ruby, Pythonistas give almost no objective reasons to prefer Python but give many highly subjective (provoking) opinions, like the following: 1. Zen of Python. (since Ruby do

1. You seem to be one of those few liberal/secular Pakistanis living abroad. A vast majority of Pakistanis, in the attempt to justify the existence of their country, try everything to distance themselves from India, Indian culture and India

Except politically and militarily, Indian Muslims have outperformed Pakistani/Bangladeshi Muslims in all fields. Just take as fundamental as literacy rate. Indian Muslims have better literacy rate (59%) than Pakistani Muslims (50-55%).

I don't see what the fuss is about. A lot of seemingly offtopics have been discussed on HN recently. Like, Japan earthquakes, Osama Bin Laden death, Egypt/Libya civil wars etc.

No one in India bought that $35 tablet news since it was by the government. Remember, in China developments happen with more government participation whereas in India developments happen with lesser government participation.

I know where you're coming from, but in the entrepreneurship context I don't see any role of music education in your examples since the only objective measure of the greatness of a music is its commercial success or cultural impact or bot
