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
I wonder who will clean up the mess – or will that person quit too?

It’s finally over.
Nearly 60 hours of an ordeal that will go down in the history of our country as one of the most trying. A monument left in shambles, more than 160 casualties, close to 400 injured, souls scarred.

Actually It’s all in the mind you know. Fine, there were more or less around that many ideas for a post - but they never reached [...]

First got exposed to their culture when I heard about the book ‘Nuts’ and the revolution they had when they changed the face of American aviation with their low cost fares. In all the trips so far I didn’t get a chance to fly them till this time. Some call them the bus service some call [...]

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 am amazed with what people are doing these days in the web world, especially what we call all things web 2.0. Facebook, Amazon, Orkut, Goodreads etc, but the one that has caught my eye rather another addiction I must say is Geni. I succumbed to peer pressure once more, got introduced in a harmless [...]

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 [...]

I was wondering how I could save that 20 hours (with stopover) and 15 hours (without stopover) to get from Mumbai to New York and maybe get there faster. The only option I could think of was rely on a certain Scottie and say ‘Beam me up Scottie”. As time becomes even more precious and the [...]
