Is India trailing behind in education?

January 27, 2012 / Education, Opinions, Society

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. [...]

Why I am unsure about Baba Ramdev?

June 4, 2011 / Articles, Opinions, Politics

Baba Ramdev fasts; and why is it that I don’t feel the same I felt when Anna Hazare embarked on it a while back. Though there are a lot of similarities in the demands, why is it that I feel different here and why is it that I feel all smoke and glitter. Why is it that I feel that giving Baba Ramdev my support would not be the right thing. Though I am against corruption and a strong believer [...]

Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain

April 22, 2011 / My Two Cents

The first rain of the season brings with it the smell of mud that often bring nostalgic memories to me. Not that I have not had times when I wanted the rain to end and see some sunshine. But rain brings with it memories of romance, love as well as pain and friendship. My experience with rain has been different depending on where in the world I lived. While in India I looked at rains differently at different ages. School [...]

To do is a crime, to be silent is equally bad, I am talking of corruption

April 6, 2011 / My Two Cents

I had written a post today, but deciding not to post it for today the only things that comes to my mind is corruption and how it effects our lives.

If man can be corrupt man can also be strong enough to fight against corruption and today my post is dedicated to a man in his seventy one [...]

Night is a world lit by itself

February 26, 2011 / My Two Cents

Night Outs are part of a guys life, and for me today is a night out day, because of the cricket between India and England. The last time I did a night out was when there was a proposal to be given for a client. Though Night Outs use to be a common practice while in college with exams hovering over the head. Why do people do Night Outs? Because 24 hours is less for many things in life or [...]

63rd Independence Day – I owe them all

August 15, 2010 / Free Verse, Poetry

A midnight sixty three years ago We walked our baby steps FREELY Now reaching atop the global commerce A billion people celebrate India A pious soul in a loin cloth Taught the world Nonviolence A World leader par excellence laid foundation for a battered nation And an iron man by his side secured the nation state by state The countless heroes who fell fighting The revolutionaries who died so young

Devadutt Pattanaik on East vs. West

December 10, 2009 / Opinions, Reviews, TED Videos, Videos

Interesting to note someone say that there is an Indian way to things and that it is very similar to the ways in other places, but built from the myth and believes in India. People visiting India both for fun and business both have seen the diversity from cultural traits with which they could never relate properly to mannerisms, accent and attire, that make them more at home. My take is they find it tough to put one face to [...]

Tharoor’s Soft Power

December 10, 2009 / Opinions, Reviews, TED Videos, Videos

My expectation on Tharoor’s talk was too high I guess. More over there was a lot of twitterola on the same. He is with no doubt a great speaker and a refreshing addition to the Indian politics. His talk lights up these thoughts in my mind 1. The bricks that hold the diversity of India are very strong 2. India has so many more stories that can engross the world easily for another century 3. in a short time every [...]
