Today is unique. The day will be remembered for all the wrong reasons by those who stand by freedom of choice, no matter how difficult it may be to accept. I will refrain from commenting on the Supreme Court’s ruling on Section 377 of the IPC, not because I think the courts are above criticism,…
Month: December 2013
And this is one more day…
…where I have nothing to say other than hello world. Yet, I persist in blogging every day…
The IT industry and the Indian family
If you watched Sun TV news earlier today you would have seen a special report on the decline of the Indian family. Now, I don’t really expect BBC level analysis from the likes of Sun TV, but I would definitely expect some sort of perspective to a phenomenon that is both complex and difficult to…
On Day 7…
…it gets more difficult than ever to find something to blog about every day. I have very often let my thoughts flow through words as I type or write, but when it comes to actually publishing on the blog, I suddenly seem to become a lot more cautious. In other news, I watched Kalyaana Samayal…

That day I didn’t think much of it. In fact, I…
Dark is beautiful…
When I first received an invitation to like the page Dark is Beautiful from a Facebook friend, I didn’t think much of it. I ignored it as just another spam message. But, something led me check it out one day when randomly surfing the net. Perhaps it’s the involvement of celebrities like Nandita Das or…
More pointlessness…
I continue my endeavour to blog once a day. Since I have nothing better to say at the moment, why not take the opportunity to rant a bit? I hate those repeated requests to play this game and that on Facebook. I mean, people need to take the hint when I ignore it once, right?…
Hello world!
