As we all know by now, Nokia and Microsoft have announced a new partnership, apparently to take on Apple and Google (Android). But what is not known is that they have already planned for new products. highly placed sources (who are on Banana Corporation’s payroll *evil laugh*!) say that the new phone will be incredibly smart, doing…
Bangalore or Bengaluru was once known for many things, be its idyllic pace of life as a pensioners’ paradise, leafy avenues, rock music, informal culture, the “AC City” weather, and more recently for finding its place on the World map in the past decade as “India’s IT Capital”. But today, the city is mainly known…
People are dumbfounded at Kerala appointing retired tennis legend Steffi Graf as the state’s brand ambassador for Ayurveda. Aren’t there enough eligible Mallus in Malluland to promote Ayurveda?

Beards were once considered unsavory in Kerala. Today they define the Malayalee male image. How did this come about?
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…
I have a hot take. All road-legal cars that are sold in India should be mechanically limited to a top speed of only 140 or 160 kilometers an hour. There is no need for a vehicle to do speeds excess of this on a public road. Every day we read and hear about horrible accidents…
