MA DURGA ARRIVED
Navarathri 'Golu' - display of dolls- had been remaining a contentious issue between me and my wife since our marriage for the past 20 years. Though I did not prohibit her from doing it , I did not show much interest. This year the matter came up between us for the 20th time and the context was more benefitial to her. We had just moved into a new h... more...

Mobs of India
The new story I read is heart rending. Please read the following article in Indian Express.Violence in OrissaMob violence has a social sanction in India. During 1984 , I was just 22 years. My blood boiled at the inaction of authorities who were mute spectators to the Nov riots. Mobs which roamed Delhi - the capital of the largest democracy in the w... more...

Amarnath Land Issue
The Jammu and Kashmir is burning with a very contentious issue. As usual Congress Party which opened the pandora's box through the Governor by transferring the land, looks very innocent and acts as if it does'nt know anything. It's a open secret that Congress's vote base lies mainly with Muslims and it tries to retain the base by appeasement and co... more...

Was he really neutral?
I do not agree with many of the policies of Communist leaders. Still I have great respect for them as they are less corrupt and not much greedy of posts. When left withdrew support I expected Somnath will resign on his own. But it did not happen. The way he defends his decision not to resign is very funny.It is well within his rights to to either a... more...

Grandeur at the cost of decency
Yesterday I happened to see the latest creation of Kamalhasan - Dasavatharam. It is not fashionable to criticise such movies as it's a totally new approach to story telling and it's a crime to misunderstand a person like KAMAL. But I can't help sharing the pain I experienced when I saw the movie.There was no need to bring up the 12th Century rift b... more...
