May God Help India

Open letter to all the politicians who do more damage to this country everyday than poring rain on Delhi roads. When you guys are done with attending parties and inaugurating meaning less functions, I would like you to answer a few questions for me. Q1. Why is it that every year when it rains, the [...]

TV is Your Servant

So what’s the fuss about the TV servant thing… MTNL introduced icontrol today… its something like Tivo which is there in the US. Basically it is nothing but a DVD recorder which would record all your favorite programs and play them back when you want it to. I tried to get more info about icontrol [...]

You Wash, You Pay!

Just when i think that i have written enough crap about MCD, the MCD goes and does something stupid again. If the roads are damaged by washing cars on then, aren’t they damaged by cars running on them? Which one seems more realistic to you? Please God put some common sense in the Municipality officials.

Crime is Just a Call Away!

This is what the World Phone ad. on the left says – “We know how much hard work has gone into building your company’s that name. So can you let that go with a mere phone call? And what could be worse than losing face. So while others don’t pay taxes and violate security norms [...]

Saibaba Animation Controversy

Seems like these news channels have nothing better to do than use religious agendas to gain ratings. ZEE news simply took this video as is from youtube and created a controversy when there was none, the heading of the video itself says that it is animated and more over the language is Tamil… how on [...]

Petrol Price vs. Society

Today the Govt. has finally increased fuel prices steeply as was inevitable with international crude price spiraling. I do not know why this government waited so long in taking this decision? Is this hike going to affect poor and rich equally? A uniform price hike in fuels would inevitably mean that a person who has [...]

The Gujjar Fiasco

The way the things are going on in India, it appears that despite exceptionally brilliant brains, India may die its own death. The Gujjar’s recent agitation for getting SC/ST status is one of glaring example of that. I am not against Gujjars or for that matter any community or cast. All are our brothers /sisters [...]

Strange Ways of MCD

Sumit sent me this cribb and he brings up a very good point, i too have traveled many time on the M.G road to Gurgaon and apart from the demolished structures which are a big eyesore they are equally dangerous. It is a matter of grave concern that the structures, so fondly ‘demolished’ by MCD [...]
