Ra-One the most anticipated super hero flick from the self/media proclaimed King of Khans, Bollywood superstar Sharukh Khan was this year’s Diwali gift to the Indian community. Out of my respect to the hard work put into the movie, I would not be divulging anything related to the movie in here as it was only released yesterday. And take my review with a pinch of salt as I am not a Sharukh Khan fan and I am among those who [...]
When do we say we are human or being human? May be it is tough to answer that in one sentence. But if you were to ask when are we being inhuman? people will give answers citing recent examples. That is the tragedy of our world. It is ironic that we remember examples of inhumanity than humanity in a world over populated by humans. The recent video of a two year old in china being run over by vehicles and [...]
Not many people will be remembered like how the world will remember Steve jobs. More than remembering the person because they know him personally, countless people now and yet to be born will be forced to remember him for the sheer contribution of his creative genius. There is a difference between being known and being remembered. Many people after they pass away are remembered immediately by many and then they slip into the state of being known, a reference of their [...]
Around the world when there is a scarcity for anything the value for it increases. Whole industries spring up surrounding this scarce resource and anonimity and privacy are slowly becoming scarce commodities in the world of Social media and Google searches. The question is will ‘being private’ be a scarce state of existence in the near future when everyone shares everything online. If that happens will ‘Being Private” be a state of tremendous value by any means? As the world [...]
The recent anti-corruption movement in India brought out several questions and debates on the internet. Though a large amount of people of Indian Origin voiced their opinion I am not sure if there was much coverage of it in world news and among non Indian internet users. The world should follow what is happening in India for two reasons, firstly because India contributes a lot to technology and economy in practically every country in the world and will continue to [...]
So why is India Rallying behind Anna? As Ramlila Maidan fills up with supporters of Anna Hazare and the Anti-corruption movement it is important we ask this question. But at the same time we ask tis question we should also investigate what this means to us as a country and how is it that we do the needful to not deflect from the goal or a robust system. Today I read that a three year old woke up on Friday [...]
The congress government seems to be both tasting and swimming in a pool of shit. Apparently the situation (or should I say Shituation) is that the shit is blocking their windpipe. It is getting very stinky for many of them, they are suffocating and with every breathe the odor is becoming more intense. A deadly combination of suffocation and defecation The arrest, the explanations, accusations, deliberations and defamations all just point to the long standing contributions to corruption. All political [...]

Got Invite? I did. Yesterday my wife sent me a Google+ invite (yes, on my request and out of her love for me) but Google is still taking time to send one to my inbox to start using it. Not sure if they heard the news that I have stopped using Facebook and they are filtering non active social media folks out of their initial list. But what the heck? social media has been around for a long time and [...]
Though it is true that we are often stressed by the information overload; the internet has also given us the technology tools to filter and selectively absorb what we want. I think this makes a significant change in the way we view and approach the world. While the emergence of technology, social networking, online news and sharing methods has made it easier for news to get popular, the downside is that they give the user the power to live in [...]
