Woman’s (?) Day
I am writing here after a long time...and its Womans Day which actually made me get up and write!!!  The Day seems to have truly arrived...atleast on print. Never mind the fact that more than half  the women in this country do not even know of its existence. Yesterday it was 'party time' at my workplace.  Each of us were presented with  a flower, c... more...

Law protecting the Elderly
A society is known by the way it treats the helpless. As I glanced through today's edition of the Hindustan Times, this piece of news caught my attention. In the monsoon session of the Parliament there are plans to introduce a Bill protecting the rights of the Elderly. Wow! I am sure a much awaited Bill. The law would be applicable throughout the c... more...

Brain Drain
I happen to be a member of another forum called 'India'. Its a forum of about 4 lakh Indians where we discuss Indian culture, politics, lifestyle and the like.Patriotism and love for the country  rules here. Members strongly feel about corruption, poverty and other social issues. However when I brought out the topic of  brain drain, it seemd to cre... more...

I received this forward in my inbox .....thought I would share it with you all............Ever heard the story of the giant ship engine that failed?

Mumbai
I happened to read fellow blogger A S Narayanan’s post on Mumbai. He seems disappointed after a recent visit here.I personally think Mumbai  is 'rude' at times. But then again I believe its more to do culture than misbehaviour. Yes, a typical Mumbaiite doesn't really care for anyone. And I think thats partly because he just doesn’t have the time. H... more...

Traumatic Childhood ....
Saddam Husein was executed few days back. He was known to be a killer and murderor. Hr was accused of killing hundreds of his own country-men (including his two sons-in-law).  Sounds wierd, isn't it ? Can someone kill one's own and act as if nothing happened ? Is this behaviour normal? Doesn't sound like one to me.On second thoughts, what caused hi... more...

Chrsitian Conversions
This blog is in response to blogs by our fellow blogger 'hindu icon'. He discusses the all-sensitive topic of conversion. I think there are a lot of misconceptions concerning converting to christianity.What is converting to christianity? Is it catching someone by the collar and asking him to change his religion. Or is it offering 'bribes'? As far a... more...

I don't fall in love easily. I don't know why. Maybe my friend in college had a strong influence on me. She sure was a feminist.

Muslims in India !!
Lately there has been lot of talks and discussions on reservations for Muslims in India. I have high regard for them however I do not think they need any special reservation. Why? I have noticed that in States where majority of Muslims lead poverty stricken lives, many Hindus too are in bad shape there. Take for example Andhra Pradesh. Muslims in A... more...
