		<title>Will an Indian compete in Snowboarding in Olympics?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am not surprised about lack of attention to India’s representation in the Vancouver Winter Olympics. Most Indians aren’t interested in winter games and even amongst those who follow it, there is lesser people who actually play winter sports themselves.
Personally, I actually snowboard. Yep. Many of my Indian friends and family think, it isn’t much [...]]]></description>

		<title>Firing the hungry spirit of rural children</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My next article for ThinkChangeIndia is available here. This time I had the opportunity to speak to another Ashoka Fellow, Ramji Raghavan, who runs the Agastya Foundation in India. He has started an organization that directly serves rural children&#8217;s creative needs. Among other things, Agastya operates mobile science museums, an innovative idea, since the core [...]]]></description>

		<title>Article of DHAN Foundation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My next article for ThinkChangeIndia on DHAN is online. I had not heard of DHAN before and it was edifying experience to research and write about them. For over two decades, they have been doing some phenomenal grassroots work, getting thousands of people out of poverty. I had the pleasure of interviewing some of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Prayer, Intuition and the Alchemist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a stack of some of my favorite books in the bathroom. In the few minutes I have there, I love picking one at random and read whatever page opens up.
Today&#8217;s pick was page 78 of Alchemist:
&#8230;Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life, where the histories [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dosas all over 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Krishna Prasad weaves a beautiful look-back satire of 2009, anchored by the deadly masala dosa!
&#8230; a truism heard commonly in South Indian kitchens—“Even the best dosa has holes”—comes closest to sounding like wisdom. So, as the year began, the IT brain behind an angelic ambulance service revealed holes, lots and lots of them, in his [...]]]></description>

		<title>Will idiots revive the Indian educational system?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anju Musafir writes in Ahmadabad Monitor that Indian education system was far sophisticated 1300 years ago than it is now. While rote learning of a series of subjects is the norm today, she points out to l-tsing’s extensive notes indicating how 7th century Indian children were trained to be superior thinkers and creative individuals. By [...]]]></description>

		<title>You want to write?  want to learn it short and quick?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The recent edition of American Scholar magazine published William Zinsser&#8217;s succinct instruction on how to simply write well in English. I always look out for good writing habits and this article does a fine job of boiling it down to simple principles. For those bored of reading books on writing skills and sick of struggling [...]]]></description>
