In last one week Mumbai bore the brunt again! Violence, hatred and life coming to a standstill! The media cried out that Raj and his party is goonda. That Mahrashtra has become intolerant to its own country men! That Marathi’s are backward people meting out a secondary treatment to its own countrymen. The leaders from North like Laloo, Mulayam, Nit... more...

A lot of my lady/girl/friends believe if there is no Men’s Day why should there be a Women’s Day.Some believe in being ‘sexless’ (read they do not believe in preferences to any one sex).  Some others say that why only on one particular day women are thought about and why not all the 365 days of the year.  Some even find it derogatory! I agree to th... more...

Water Harvesting,aghhh!
Just a few days back I was sitting in an office presentation on one of our newly launched service.  It was bunch of motley journalist who were discussing the pros and cons of the service and of course we were all expected to give ideas to promote it. The colleagues from other department were busy explaining how they gave a similar presentation in U... more...

Cuisine..Indian
We were three. One can prepare only Rasam and the other 2 only Sambar.  And all the three are vegetarians.  And imagine in a country where meat is for breakfast and well..for dinner too.  The nearest Indian grocery is 15 miles where you get vegetables  and it gets rotten by the time you reach the place where you live.  This is the place where we st...  more...

Modi, a hero
Though I also operate within the realms of Indian English media, though I am aware of its “pseudo-secular” credentials, I was baffled by the kind of lop-sided, anti-Modi coverage of the Gujarat elections, especially in the electronic media. The English newspapers and news channels declare themselves as “unbiased and secular” while they act as if th...  more...

Wedding Sari blues
"There are only four types of saris. The cream ones, the blue ones, the green ones, and the maroon ones." said my friend Sethu, circa 2002. I'm in total agreement with him. I am still clueless when my mom gets confused over buying one from two saris, both of which look the same to me!With the wedding preparations getting into the groove, I am being...  more...

By the end of this month, if will be clear if the US Senate Immigration Reform Bill introduced to decide whether H-1B visa limit should be increased from 65,000 to 115,000 has been defeated or allowed to sail through successfully.
