Some banner designers have a novel way of ensuring their business suffers. Look at the banner of the Congress Party above.
What do you see?
Struggling are you?
Well for one it has a welcome address in all the top 5 languages spoken in the city of Mumbai.
Two, it has the top brass of the Congress across India [...]

Oh my great state what has become of thou!
Thy politicians are fighting o’er pohe and pav.
To each it’s the food of the soil
Yet it’s all a clever political foil
Oh my great state what has become of thou!
Thy politicians are fighting o’er pohe and pav.
They beef up their security
While our lives are full of anxiety
Oh my [...]

Someone took moral responsibility
Someone listened to his conscience
Someone was put under pressure
They all quit

While our state politicians were busy fighting over pohe and pav, vociferously defending the terror attacks in Malegaon and blaming the ATS (Anti Terrorist Squad) as partisan, they gave a red carpet welcome to approx. 26 militants to hold the financial capital to ransom.

I just finished the 10000th post – well nearly. I do know though that I have missed a few zeroes after that but then it’s fine to be modest sometimes.

Finally it rained heavily to set all things awry in Mumbai. Incessant rains threw all transportation haywire. Some parts of the city including where I stay turned to Venice pretty quickly (see pic).
Obviously got holed up at home in the much hyped ‘working from home’ mode. All my day’s plan went haywire and got me a [...]

With the traffic situation in Mumbai not improving coupled with the increasing fuel prices, most people have decided to exchange their cars for a pair of Bullocks. I’m thinking to get a pair myself. Maintenance is an issue but then what the heck it still works out cheaper.
I’m soon going to have my very own Bull Wagon. [...]

10 years from now apparently most of the posh localities like Worli, Juhu, Colaba etc are going to be under water. Well maybe not completely but yes maybe you could get to you building gate in a boat. The paranoia of Global Warming is getting to everyone these days. I remember 15 years back I [...]

I was born with the proverbial Silver Spoon under the watchful eye of my master, Or should I rather say I made that into a Golden Spoon. I outdid what my master taught me and came back with honors the first time over, beating my master at the same tricks he taught me. I collected [...]
