Speechless at the moment. I don’t know how I feel about this right now. While it is true that discrimination by the government and police against the minorities needs to be fought, I’m not sure that the accused in the bomb blast case are what we would be looking up to as model, upright citizens [...]
I read an article on the NDTV site which says there is the possibility of a hike in train fares in Mumbai, which would bring the average Rs30/- minimum fare for first class to Rs.32/-. The added funds from this hike will be used to support the loan taken from the World Bank by the [...]
An old post. Please note that this is not a comment on BJP today, but an incident from 4 years ago. Bringing it up in the shadow of M F Hussain’s death to make two points. 1. There are others being targetted too (and they are alive, so we can change and make a difference), [...]
Today’s match was everything we had wanted the day before’s to be. Good batting, good fielding, the works. Is it my imagination, or were the Bangladeshis not at full power today? Or was it that Indians were really charging? Can’t say. All I know is that we did really well. This should ease some cricketing [...]
After Dhoni’s outstanding performance in the match yesterday, where he was on the field all day, except for the 26 minutes Gambhir and Sehwag batted, until Gambir was out. He faced cramps and battled on for two overs before calling for a runner in the 39th over and went on to play another 7 overs [...]
The first match against Bangladesh certainly was a nail biting one! Their batting was excellent, and 250 runs on the board was no mean task to chase. Of course, India really had no choice. I groaned when Bangladesh won the toss. The batting team would have an advantage for sure on that pitch. Plus, the [...]
Walking down the street near the old Ajmera School in Borivli West today, I came across this: In case the picture isn’t clear, this is a dog drinking at a leaking water connection. Take a close look: I couldn’t get a better picture. It got scared and ran away. Actually, when I saw it, there [...]
For a long time, Kashmir has been a thrown in the sides of India, Pakistan and Kashmir. Countless men losing their lives, exhorbitant amounts of money spent, arguments, claims, hopes and anger. Its been pver 50 years. The issue is still on. The world watches with bated breath as the two nuclear armed rivals try [...]
Republishing this in the “Intolerance” category I started post M F Hussain’s death – old post, only new label. Please note this is an old post, though fascinating reading in how some things don’t change. In a country where watching films without vulgur dances is imcomplete, we are quick to take offense at public figures. [...]
As people of the state and country are bearing the burden of increased load shedding sweating out for hours together without any electricity, there is this very important fact that goes unnoticed by the government – Power thefts. 3,000 to 3,500 MW of power is lost in transmission and distribution and what is the government [...]
