Another molestation news has created headlines. This time it was a minor girl who stepped out of a bar who was stripped and molested for around half an hour in full public view by a mob of around 30 men in Guwahati. A news crew recorded the entire incident which spun off a branch of…
Prologue The other day I witnessed a brawl on a bus where a person took objection to another using what is (wrongly) called “unparliamentary language” when speaking on the phone. The outraging guy told the other that it was not his culture to shout incestuous words to a busload full of passengers at the top…
Assuming that you are a regular human being living on planet Earth, you must be pretty proud of yourself. You are “you“, the being, the person, who has achieved so much so in life and are part of the race that rules the planet and has subdued everything else! You even have defeated the evil…
There is a widely quoted and talked about elusive race of people in India, who everyone seems to love, care for and are always anxious about, but no one really knows who they are. Everyone wants to be a part of them, but not openly and all the time, but only when it suits them,…
This is a real incident that happened a couple of days back. It was a lazy afternoon and I was on a 500C (ITPL – Banashankari) Bangalore BMTC Volvo bus, traveling from Whitefield to Marathahalli. That was when this dude, around 25-ish years of age, adorned with a Software company ID card all all got…

Who the hell are we? Why are we here on this planet? Why did we evolve? What is the reason of being alive here right now? And why do we feel that urge to mate (put in “decent” terms)? So many questions. Some philosophical, some existential, mostly asked by people lying on grassy plains looking…
I knew something like this was afoot from the very beginning. The entire media and the elite glam-sham people were up in arms revolting against Norway and their “high-handed” and inhuman ways of treating Indian kids for quite some time with some even screaming racism and xenophobia. Yes, laws are strictly enforced in European countries…
Make no mistake, the aspirations of ours to become a Superpower or even a developed nation by 2020 is quite a lofty one, considering the present scenario of us as a people, more than that of as a nation. That is because there are many things that constitute a how a developed nation should be,…
The Universe works in uncanny ways and it has its own ways of setting things right to preserve the delicate equilibrium that governs us all. I got a taste of this the other day in Final Destination proportions of a Shakespearean tragedy, when a much-lauded ‘out-of-the-blue’ rare achievement of mine was ruthlessly cancelled out, the…
There are many things today that are hugely popular but nobody really knows what their origins in history are.
