Coalition Blackmailing
The refusal of Gowda Inc to support Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa in the State assembly during “vote of confidence” has ended the shortlived the first ever BJP in Southern India.            Though this a setback for BJP as well as the people of Karnataka but will help in strengthening the political health of the democracy in the long run.This inci... more...

Loot & Misue Of Public Money
I felt relieved after reading the news that “The Bihar government has withdrawn the security cover extended to Railway Minister and RJD President Lalu Prasad as the state's former chief minister” because I was assured that our “great” leader will now at least stay indoor and thereby spare the nation from witnessing his another “tamassha” similar to... more...

A tribute to two great Indian leaders
Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel - I never got the opportunity to meet or see in person the “iron man” of India. But whatever I have read and heard about this great man I am compelled to suggest to younger Indian generation and especially Indian politicians to take a leaf out of his contributions in taking “head on” the casteist, communal, criminal and an... more...

My Heroes & Heroines
After reading, hearing and observing day in day out about violence, discrimination, injustice, corruption, murky politics, disasters and deaths I was sinking into despondency and feeling frustrated.But the chance viewing of two combined programmes “In pursuit of happiness” and “Mission impossible” on CNN-IBN on 30 September, Sunday evening did wond... more...

Congratulations Vishwanathan Anand! What a news, a double whammy in a space of less than 07 days –first India becoming 20-20 World Cricket Champions and then news about Anand’s title win.Anand achieved this distinction by a short 20-move draw against Peter Leko of Hungary in the 14th and final round of the Championship in Mexico City on Saturday ni... more...

The registering of a case against former BJP MP Ram Vilas Veda based on a complaint preferred by S Jayakumar, president of Coimbatore District Kalaignar Tamil Peravai on the night of 26 September by the Tamil Nadu Crime Branch can be seen as a first step in getting to the bottom of the issue involved and unearthing of the truth for the good of Indi... more...

The euphoria created after winning 20-20 Finals by Indian team is refusing to die down.With gifts, money and endorsements coming from all directions i.e BCCI, Central State Governments and Corporate/organizations there is a windfall of fortunes for the deserving 15 young Men in Blue.Hope this faith and generosity expressed by one and all is not fri... more...

What India Pakistan 20-20 Finals Mean To...
Both Indians and Pakistanis are expectantly looking for a “Mother of all finals”.Passions and emotions are expected to run high. Anyway whatever happens will be known as the evening progresses.Being a keen observer I am going to marshal my creative ability to speculate how India Pakistan 20-20 finals will mean differently to people from different w... more...

My Fate In The Hands Of Political Astrol...
Let me introduce myself – I am an aam admi (common man), you can find my tribe in every part of the country.Though we may differ in how and what we speak, eat, live but we have one thing in common – face neglect by the Government of the day, political parties and the influential members of the society. The worry of how to keep our struggle “on” is ... more...

Pay peanuts and hire a monkey!
I remember reading in a National daily about PM’s suggestion to Corporate to rethink regarding payment of high salaries to their Executives.In my opinion this may be based on the feedback that many Government officers, civil as well as from armed forces are opting out of Government service for better opportunities outside.I am not sure whether such... more...

A night of romance
A night of romance A night of romance is all I desireCradling creamy moon in my lapThe twinkle of stars in my eyesSweet smell of wine in our sighsSitting beside you on the grassUnder the clear black open skiesYour fingers moving hesitantlySlowly trying to touch mineDistant music floating in the air Rhythm of heart-beats deep insideSending shivers d...  more...

‘Eating the Earth’!
 Eating meat, dairy and eggs threatens our planet.You use much less land and water if you eat crops directly. Animals use most of the protein they eat to live, not 'grow' meat. So eating meat adds to water shortages, forest clearing, soil damage, use of oil-based pesticides - and climate change. "By 2050 the world's livestock will be consuming as m...  more...
