You Must Think we are Stupid

Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit is asking people again to donate power in the name of Earth Hour. Just a few days back Delhi NCR was in the brink of collapse when there was hardly any power and the media highlighted that the reason for this was that distcoms were selling power in the market to [...]

India Ranked the Worst Bureaucracy

Below is the excerpt taken from HT epaper, seems like India is worse off than Pakistan! It was once called the steel frame of the British Raj. Today, the Indian bureaucracy is a rusty parody of its former self. Meant to be the interface between the government and the citizen, it usually leaves citizens seething, [...]

MCD Gives Commonwealth a Helping Hand

MCD has taken into its own hand to speed-up the work of Commonwealth Games. The photograph above seems like a underpass flooded with water on National Highway 8 but in real, this is MCD’s backup plan to have a standby swimming pool ready just in case Commonwealth body cannot come up with one on time. [...]

Online Shaadi Getting TRP

It maybe borderline mind numbing stupidity or could be called “marketing genius” by a few but this trend of online matrimonies is on the rise. Every serial on TV these days wants to cash on the Shaadi episode… why? I have a few ideas of my own. Feel free to add yours in the comment [...]

Eating Vegetables and Fruits for Health

Got this as a chain mail from a friend… one of the rare ones which i thought was worth publishing. A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye… And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the [...]

Aforeserve Threatens me with Legal Action

A month back I posted a cribb sent in by Sachin on “HP and Aforeserve Join Hands for Fraud” and today I got an email from Amit Menon of Aforeserve regarding the article. Instead of trying to solve the problem with Sachin, he took the easy way by telling me to remove the article. Read [...]

MCD and Clogged Drains, Married Forever

MCD (Municipal Corporation of Delhi Most Corrupt Department) has done it again, despite the low rainfall in Delhi this time around, MCD has still managed to recreate water-logging situation of last year. It was a difficult thing to do (given the low rainfall) but some how MCD manages to do it every year. According to [...]

Criminal to Use Plastic

I always make it a point to read Anuja’s column whenever she writes for HT. Its always refreshing to read her article as she has that witty punch to pretty much everything she writes. Crime is rampant in Shelila’s city – people are breaking the law left, right and centre. Wherever I go, I spot [...]

I Think Tata Should Give up Now.

Cribb sent in my Gautam Ratra. I was an admirer of Tata till some time back but my experience with Tata Sky has changed it. Reason? 1. If something goes wrong with your Tata Sky and an engineer visit is required, you have to shell out 350 for it , not only this if they [...]

The New Pulsar 220 Bike Advertisement

Good advertisement… i am confused about one thing only. The video was probably shot somewhere in South America with all Spanish titles through-out the advertisement and even the star of the ad. is a Spanish guy then why at the end does it say “The Fastest Indian” ?

India Breaking Traditions

High Court ok’s homosexuality and gets rid of the 149 year old law. Of course there are two sides to every story.
