Can words have an effect on our thinking? 3

Apr

2013

The ‘ruling’ party phenomenon Whenever an incident happens, comments follow. Expert comments, pedestrian views and then there are the politicians. Their views make me wonder, are these best possible representatives for our people? Is it so hard for us to find sensible people to represent us in the parliament? Is it the power that goes ...

Just to show what I was talking about in one of the previous posts, I took these pictures. These are pictures of Mumbai Local – old one, which is being phased out slowly. The new ones are significantly better though, that one will be uploaded soon in another post. ...

Physically disabled – Lest they forget 6

Mar

2013

They stand in a crowd and stand out in it. It is tough to just walk past them without noticing. We always fear different things, either how we interact with them or about how they will react to the interaction. It is this fear (I think) that stops people from helping the disabled. If you ...

The contrast in India and the festival of Holi 5

Mar

2013

We concretised our dreams, quarried the mountains, burned the farms, chopped the trees and now we look up in the sky and curse the climate for the heat. India is a country where everything is a contrast. Every moment, in a few kilometres/miles, the scenario changes, the environment changes, dialect changes and to some extent, ...

Rahul Gandhi , some real CONgress politicians and the future ones.

Jan

2013

Frankly speaking, at 42 years of age how can anyone be called a young politician. The ass-kissing media and of course the Congress politicians praised Rahul Gandhi for a brilliant speech at Chintan Shivar. Chintan Shivar basically is a camp where all the members of Congress party come and well, party. If they get some ...

The comfort of blaming 6

Jan

2013

The blame game Ever since we were kids, blaming was the first thing we did. Pointing fingers, this remained the same, only the finger changed. Isn’t it really easy to blame. Just put it on someone and let the other person waddle out of the situation by himself. Once I blamed mom for something trivial ...
