Sino-Indian 1962 war: The fall of ‘trust’?
My last post on China got me really rave emails accusing me of being partisan, prejudiced and obnoxious. I am so used to it and take it as part and parcel of blogosphere..hehe… I hope my Chinese visitors can at least take pride in this article. I am penning this post not at any cost [...]
What is the matter with China? Loves to see India sobbing?
What is wrong with China? It always likes to see India weeping. India is already tired by the physical, military and financial support the Communists are giving to Pakistan which is again transferred to the Jihadi extremists who are infiltrating Kashmir and causing trouble in our land. When tens of thousands of Tamil are dying [...]
Poignant ‘Kangal Irandhal’ song from Tamil movie ‘Subramaniapuram’
I am really a movie buff. Being a quadrilingual animal myself, of all regional language movies I watch, I would say Tamil movies are the best. Their stories are so engaging and their music is improving by leaps and bounds. Well, I do have mallu enemies who hate me for hating Malayalam movies..hehe..those too are [...]

So brother you don’t have to masquerade and write like [...]

Indians are not Slumdogs, Mind You!
I knew this from the beginning. The Oscar hit movie Slumdog Millionaire would backfire. I am not completely against it, but in some ways Yes I am – because of its glum portrays of India especially the open defecation, poverty…etc. The movie apart from making millions for the Slumdog team also brought fame to the [...]
Sam singing shepherd of my soul song
Aloha! Its the Good Friday and my spirit feels so regenerated. Its the day I convince myself that the Lord has conquered the world and death could not contain him. Being so weak, insufficient I realise I cant be as tenacious as GOD, but what I continue to beseech is that “His grace be sufficient [...]
