Compared to those who lived twenty years ago, us Indians of today are a pampered lot. For instance, anyone who wants to buy a car is spoiled for choice today. During those non-liberalized days when I was growing up, you couldn’t buy a car even if you had the money for there were only the…
You do have a phone with a good camera. Take 10000 photos with it. Buy a compact point and shoot. Take 20000 photos with it. Buy an advanced point and shoot. Take 50000 photos with it. Buy an entry level DSLR. Take 100000 photos with it. Buy a professional level DSLR. Take 250000 photos with…
During the recent Tipu Sultan birth anniversary controversy, a friend asked a fascinating but very logical question: “Where are Tipu’s descendants?” What happened to his sons off his official Sultana and of course, all the progeny off his mistresses, because Tipu Sultan of course kept a harem of women, like every ruler in the world….
My dear Jean, Paalu, it has been two years since that fateful day. And somehow, somewhere, I, we have still not come to terms that you have left us forever. We, I, miss you and your ever smiling face and silly jokes more than ever. While you will live on in our hearts forever, do…
How the 45th US president-elect and the issues that dominated his high-voltage election campaign will actually turn out as a matter of policy continue to be subject to intense speculation.

“This is a Caaaar!” Golden words never die, they just get cunningly reused in the right places. And the Nissan Sunny ad campaign is the latest example for this. The TV advertisement describes the car as being not just a car, but a Caaaaar. What do you think this tagline is about? The space inside…
All empires end. The Fall of Singapore marked the end of the British Empire which until that day seemed invincible. We are witnessing another.

Thank you! :)) For glory and honor, sixteen nations will face off each other once again after four years to decide the new champions of Europe! The UEFA European Football Championships 2012 (EURO 2012) kicks off at 17:30 Central…
Nope. It did not happen. The colors the World would turn into were to be Red and Gold. Not Orange. Heartbreak. Again. The Dutch with not losing a single game all along the qualification and the finals stumbled where it mattered, forgot to play football, lost against a side which actually played football and ended their campaign in tears. Defeat…

(No, not the overpriced cloth selling places! Look it up. Havent you heard of Wikipedia? #fail) Anyways coming back to subject, we are an…
