Indian 66%

66% of Indian population is under 35 – www.youthportal.gov.in/statistics/demographicdetails.htm
So why is that not reflected in the candidates contesting current elections? I mean why isn’t the ideology or the idealism of youth – hope, change, ambition, courage and things like that – reflected in the current crop of contenders who still carry dynastic lineages, criminal [...]

To Mr. Obama

Dear Mr. Obama What took you so long to get to the White House? I guess I am wishing you were born earlier and live forever.
For years we’ve been raped and exploited by Wall Street and their ilk who promised us that if they took away our jobs and gave them to the Chinese and [...]

Child murdered

Shanno was always in danger. If her gender was detected pre-birth she might have been aborted. If she survived the beating that killed her she would’ve endured recurring groping in city buses and other forms of sexual harassment in public places. And then would come the possible danger of being burnt alive or if [...]

Bobby Jindal “Hai hai”

Hai Hai is the most felt, expressed and used hence most understood political sentiment in India. It loosely translated means “Shame shame or “die of shame”. Since I owe my ancestry to that country like Mr. Jindal, I thought “hai hai” was the best way to describe my feelings about his last speech flaying [...]

American CEOs An American Problem

In the February 2009 issue of Conde Nast “Portfolio” Matthew Cooper quotes Jack Welch as being apoplectic, “If business leaders are not aware of this terrible piece of legislation, they should be. It would hurt us dramatically in our ability to be competitive globally.”

Mumbai – Stupid is Indian Stupid

That the Mumbai Police Chief hasn’t been fired despite being perhaps the most inept cop leading perhaps the most inept cops on earth, and all those marchers, and journalists and celebrities haven’t demanded his ouster is stupider than stupid.

Before the terrorists there were Bhais especially the Big Dawood Bhai and that there’s a nexus between [...]

My Love

The drive up North was pretty, with the hills covered with a neat blanket of snow. But I wasn’t moved. I noticed, can’t help noticing, but that was it. Nothing like a song welling up inside me.
Then, reaching home found the bay the color of molten sunlight with ducks peacefully bobbing about on the rippled [...]

Sex

Its that thing adults do and non adults wish to grow up for and the old ones wish they could.
Bang bang what’s the big deal you ask?
Answer is the whole universe is the result of a Big Bang.
So no sex no universe, no you, no me, no consciousness of God or Devil.
So in unison say, [...]

Indian Me

100% Punjabi Indian.
If I didn’t like the food so much I mightn’t have been so Punjabi but despite being away for half my life I’m still into saag (mustard greens) brimming over with butter and makki di roti (corn tortillas), and gajrela (carrots cooked slowly in milk till milk dries) – that’s a hard to [...]
