Is India trailing behind in education?

January 27, 2012 / Education, Opinions

This question may sound absurd to many and a few might even say that I am nuts asking this. But I was recently reading an article in Times of India blogs that probed the idea “Do nations have a split personality? especially India” something like the famous Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde story. While we could clearly identify that the Dr. Jekyll personality of India would be its economic growth, large military, space initiatives, being tech savvy etc… and Mr. [...]

Rushdie, Freedom and Jaipur Lit Festival

January 21, 2012 / My Two Cents, Opinions

When Salman Rushdie decided to pull out of the Jaipur Literary festival, seems like it shattered many hearts with people calling the action cowardly (even calling him a coward) and many telling that it is sad and it should not have happened. But is that really true? While it is true that the Government did not have the balls to tell the damn extremists to go to hell and guard the freedom of a visitor, it is also true that [...]

January 16, 2012 / Opinions, Social Media

The other day a thought occurred. If someone with a split personality (Very acute as shown in thriller movies, though I am not sure if the extend of fiction in the movies are far from reality) uses social media tools like Facebook and Twitter would he or she remember the passwords of a profile created by one personality? Or would they create a new profiles for every new personality that they split into? Assuming they will remember the passwords and will [...]

What are Million Dollar Questions?

January 10, 2012 / Business, Featured, Marketing, Opinions, Society, Tech & Marketing, Technology

When I asked someone what a million dollar question was he just shrugged and said questions don’t have a value, it is the answers that carry the value. He was at the same time right and wrong. ‘Right’ because the answer is what ultimately bears the reasoning for the question’s existence. ‘Wrong’ because to get valuable answers you have to ask essential and valuable questions. This made me thinking what really would be a million dollar question? How can you [...]

You might have heard a thousand times that “you can be anything that you really put your mind into”. This is a cliché usage in motivation talks world over.

As the world gives new perceptions and interpretations about matter and consciousness and how one could [...]

Correctness is not what is defined by those in power to cover up their wrong. Freedom is the absolute correctness and when it is extended to all, it is natural that the correctness of the powerful get blurred.

November 10, 2011 / Opinions, Society

What went wrong with Ashton Kutcher? Was it his fault; or will more celebrities commit these blunders in the future getting lost in the twitter maze or is this how the whole status update thing is working out. You start all out being very cautious about what you post, because you don’t know if it will bite you back.

Adaminte Makan Abu – Review and Relevance

October 30, 2011 / Movies, Opinions, Reviews

Watched the movie “Adaminte Makan Abu” translated as “Adam’s son Abu” India’s official entry to OSCAR.
