Notwithstanding all the arguments put forward in the previous part, the single biggest reason why I am not buying an apartment in Bangalore (or anywhere else) is because I don’t have the money to pay for it. “But who has that kind of money? You can take a home loan no?” they will say. No….
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,…
On Sunday, January 24, 2016, HCL Technologies, an upper-medium size software “IT” services company conducted a “walk-in hiring drive” for ‘freshers’, or graduates with no previous working experience. The event was widely publicized and amplified through social media. The company states that the drive was to fill 1200 vacant positions, though eye-witness accounts and people…
Everyone agrees that Bangalore is not what it used to be, say, 20 years ago. But the fact is that it is not what it used to be just 10 or even 8 years ago! All these roads, malls, IT parks, flyovers, elevated highways and huge apartment complexes came up in this decade, and many…

A Shatabdi Express from Thiruvananthapuram to Bangalore? That will not happen in this Universe, where for various reasons known to everyone, the hallowed populace of Malluland has the distinction of being always ignored and at the receiving end of the stick of everything. But in terms of providing neglect to them, no institution comes close…
By the time Std.9 was over, all energies of the Universe was directed at making us cram our everlasting lives out preparing for those final two “boards” weeks. The tension and stress was unbearable. Forget sports and so-called extra-curricular activities, even sleep had to be put aside in preparation for the coming war. All imaginable arrangements…
The most overlooked among all the philosophical premises of The Matrix is the very concept it is based upon, which is the choice an individual makes when given a choice between the Matrix and the real world. There are only two types of people in the Matrix universe; the Bluepills who are all the people who…
Human beings are hardwired to always look for patterns and reasons in everything, which is why we keep on wondering about why things happen, especially when they do not go as per plan. However, no matter what Paulo Coelho thinks, my general belief is that the Universe is too busy to give a flying f**k…
The internet, which once was thought would take humanity forward and help it evolve to the next level, is now seemingly accelerating its destruction. Many of its platforms, still naively thought by many to be the young, exuberant media of entertainment and liberation they once were, have long since silently mutated into monsters threatening to…
