India’s national anthem by AR Rahman
With Independence Day around the corner, it is a must to hear AR Rahman’s version of our national anthem. It is truly his magnum opus! The composition contains voices of several famed singers from across the country.
British PM on India visit calls for strong ties
I am quite liking Britain’s new prime minister David Cameron who is here on a two day visit with what Downing Street described as the largest UK trade delegation. It is quite a cheerful thing that Cameron who is on his third visit choose Bangalore as his first destination. He gave a pretty impressive speech [...]
Indian wealthy class does no charity
The ignoble wealthy class in India has been stingy, uncharitable and ungenerous, no doubt on that. They love stashing money, all for them, their family and the later four generations to come. Never about others, it is always the me-and-my-family attitude. How I hate this greedy, close-fisted mentality of our rich and getting-rich businessmen. A [...]
Changing India! The incredible and frustrating India!
It has been quite a while I left my cocooned office and witnessed the world around me. Fortunately, I got a chance this week as I was hitting on a journey to a close by hill station to escape everything, firstly the heat. My journey to narrate began in the Shatabdi train where I could [...]
Cricket crazy India needs sympathy and enhancement for other sports
Alright its time for some breast-beating. India has so poorly performed at the T20 Cricket World Cup. Well personally I am not going to seethe on India’s defeat. Why? I have so lost the love for this game. I only can reminisce of bygone days when I was crazy for cricket and wicket. No doubt, [...]

I have been gripped by anorexia. May be due to the high fever last few days. However, I am making sure I dont stop working, I can turn lazy, really! So what is currently on rife in media? Ask me and I would say it is our Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who is making news. [...]
Thanking God for all small things in life this Christmas
It is already December, one of my favourite months. But where did that Christmas nostalgia go? Is it missing cuz am in Delhi and not Bangalore? May be..who wants to celebrate Christmas so lonely, away from friends and family? Delhi is getting colder day by day. It will be the coldest month of the entire [...]
I am pro-Hindu and anti-Hindutva
The followers of LK Advani – our failed Prime Ministerial candidate and the current Leader of the Opposition – are discussing how fiend and anti-Hindu I am (read here). I wished they discussed my other disputable articles, but the one they have taken is the lowest of an editorial I have written. I am sure [...]
Remembering Nehru: Children are India’s future!
Today, Sept. 14, is Children’s Day in India. Although across the world, it is on a different date, India observes it today to mark the birthday of India’s first prime minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who madly loved children. Reading how schools are celebrating this event, I am reminded of my childhood, the sweet memories I [...]
Media makes curry of India, China, Arunachal & Dalai Lama
There is a cold war currently underway between both India and China. I am afraid both the countries are treading the wrong route to end up antagonizing each other. When both these countries use their rhetorics in the media, guess who gets affected? It would be the poor blogs/websites of genuine people like me who [...]
