In this internet era, a good habit or not, I am yet to figure out, I don’t spend time online during the weekends. I know countries get erased but then I have grown to like staying away from computers at least two days a week.
This week was truly a long weekend with lots of [...]
The world is too big for us. Too much is going on, too many crimes, too much violence and excitement. Try as you will, you get behind in the race, in spite of yourself. It’s an incessant strain to keep pace…and still, you lose ground. Science empties its discoveries on you so fast that you [...]
“In the end, we are all the sum total of our actions. Character cannot be counterfeited, nor can it be put on and cast off as if it were a garment to meet the whim of the moment. Like the markings on wood which are ingrained in the very heart of the tree, character requires [...]

If you are fan of music and fan of Kadri Gopalnath [ Check http://www.kadrigopalnath.com/], do listen to this wnyc interview of kadri before he goes live tonight in manhattan. A must listen. A genius he is, but really naive the way he speaks. Rudresh jumps in to help with American english and explain what [...]
[Thank God! The Satellite zoom doesn't get any closer! Otherwise, people don't need any more reality shows, chose among the billions of homes across the globe and peep into anyone's for the ulitmate reality show, all live!!!]
