No More Anda-Bhurjee and Bread
It is early fall and summer has already made an exit. The leaves haven’t yet begun changing their color and the surroundings are still sultry with occasional cloudbursts and frequent hurricanes. A trip, few weeks back to the nearest big airport during the afternoon and you would see hordes of Indian students disembarking, telling you [...]
Aamcha Oscar
Shwaas (breath), the National Award winning Marathi movie has been nominated as India’s entry to the Best Foreign Language Film category. This may generate a “so what?” reaction amongst most of you, but amongst Maharashtrians, it instills a sense of pride to see their “dead” movie industry produce a gem worthy of recognition at the [...]
World on the brink
Last month’s cover story in National Geographic is pretty emotive. Although it covers a much beat-up topic of global warning, the editors are right in suggesting that not enough has been done to better the state of planet. I find it admirable that the people at Nat Geo are willing to risk cancelled subscriptions rather [...]
Google Adsense makes sense
It has been a month since I succumbed to the advertising devil in disguise. But in retrospective Google Adsense is indeed impressive and makes perfect sense for small-time publishers. Regular bloggers have achieved the tag of informal journalists and are publishing czars in their own right. But there is no free lunch in a capitalistic [...]
Pouring Rain
Rain pelting hard outside,
Almost deserted Starbucks,
Sipping hot black coffee,
Wishing it was hot piping chaha (tea) instead,
Listening to Neela Aasman Soo Gaya,
Reading my fave blogs,
Ah-ha! Almost heaven.
Animal Farm
George Orwell had this uncanny knack for writing ominous conspiracy theory fiction that somehow come true.
No Female political bloggers?
Do the women hate any sort of political talk? Now defunct Jivha had once raised the issue, there aren’t enough women bloggers who care to write or discuss politics on their blogs. I will take a bit further and suggest that women are least likely to indulge in any real-time conversation on politics. Are they [...]
Blogger Victory
The news is rather old (pun unintended) now after CBS bungled up big time over the forged documents citing preferential treatment of Junior Bush at the National Guard. Conservative bloggers brought down the mighty Dan Rather at CBS News by some matter-of-fact investigating. Bloggers suddenly found themselves pitch forked in the limelight and murmurs of [...]
Yet, Bush will win
If you live in America and even have a passing interest in politics, you will either love or hate Bush. Chances are that if you are an international resident alien (that term is indeed degrading, if you stop to think), you most definitely will hate him. But if you examine his campaign and presidency objectively, [...]
