The World is full of overbearing and nosy people who believe they exist for the sole reason of poking into others’ affairs and to enforce the standards of what they believe are the “accepted norms” of “society” on how to lead one’s life. Their primary weapon of choice is irritatingly repeated questions, like “What do…
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…
There seems to be a serious misunderstanding on what “corruption” means in India. It seems that we think only politicians and bureaucrats are and can be corrupt, and corruption as such starts and ends with bribes, misuse of power and ‘looting’ large sums of public money. Look at these: Corruption as defined by Google and…
The primary aim of white-collar economic migration is migration itself than an intention to build a career.
Propelled by pink haired Kevin O’Brien’s awesomeness personified innings of 111 runs off 63 balls, Ireland tounced neighbors England and created history in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 in Bangalore today. The same England team had forced India to a tie at the same venue some days back. O’Brien scored the fastest 100 in a World Cup match,…
A car is a must today. No doubt about that, especially when there is little effective public transportation in India.

This is not a review for the movie ‘The Social Network’. Enough accolades and adjectives have been doled out for the Movie, Facebook, Mark Zukerberg and etc. The movie itself was just above the ordinary as far as I am concerned, but all its pitfalls were eclipsed by the raw awesomeness of the story and portrayal on how the guy built up Facebook….
It will happen to you. All your riches will not save you. You can only go as far as your feet can take you.

[dropcap]It[/dropcap] was fourteen years ago when I first met them in a dingy movie theater in the town of Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu, India. They lived in a universe completely different from mine, lives not even remotely approaching mine. And that was why I was drawn to them. Brian O’Connor, Dominic “Dom” Toretto, Leticia “Letty” Ortiz, Mia…
Solar power is a wonderful thing. It costs next to nothing to produce, requires little maintenance and its raw material is never-ending. Apart from the big oil mafia, the only thing that could hinder the generation of solar power at massive scales is the unavailability of large parcels of flat land to install solar panels,…
