The Left has decided to make its support to the UPA government even more conditional than it already is. Every major step forward in the last 12 odd months has seen this kind of ‘gun to the head behaviour’. A whole lot of cattle trading results. And then a watered down version of wthe [...]

Two very different stories that I chanced upon today. Both have to do with food. And both have to do with death. Both have to do with abject Government callousness, and the complete disregard for regulatory norms by those who control the area.

The last 10 days has seen a freeze on any half decent reading. But, today i managed to sneak in a couple of hours to wrap up the excellent “A Short History of Almost Everything” by Bill Bryson. This on what we have figured about the universe that we live in:
The upshot of all this [...]

A few weeks ago, the newly opened Bed Lounge Bar attracted a fair amount of flak for barring people wearing traditional costumes from their premises.
My own view on that was very simple. Any establishment has the right to choose its own rules. Whether i like them or not. If I don’t like the rules, i [...]

The new improved one hour long Dial One aur Jeeto is finally on air with a new format.
Yesterday, was the first episode of the new series.
The lead up to the show was fraught with tension. There were issues with studio availability, contracts, budgets, egos and the kitchen sink. But like everything in television everything fell [...]
