Rely On Us… why?

I wanted to book a radio taxi from my place to the New Delhi railway station and thought I would check out the much advertised Meru Cab service. They have an online booking system where you can fill out info on your tip… time, place etc and they will then send a cab over at [...]

Should He Sue Noida Police?

After spending 50 days in judicial custody, Dr Rajesh Talwar, father of Aarushi, walked out a free man on Saturday as the CBI let him off citing lack of evidence against him to extend his custody.

You Can Make a Difference Too

Watch this video of a 13 year old Seven Suzuki representing E.C.O (Environmental Children’s Organization) at UN Earth Summit way back 1992. What she said 16 years ago still is true to this date. I was highly impressed with her speach.

Ebay India in Trouble

Ebay.in formally knows as bazee.com is a poor cousin of ebay.com… possibly very poor. No! I don’t have their financials on hand and nor did anyone from the inside tipped me off. I have been around the “internet” block so many times that I tend to pick up the tell tale signs. As I was [...]
