The dilemma of Morality
What is Morality if all is fair in love and war? The Indo-US nuclear deal has exposed the dilemma of morality of the 'politically correct'.Every corrupt argument is masked as moral. Krishna tells pandavas that if Dronacharya comes to fight the battle, half the day is enough for him to kill the entire pandava army. They get biwildered and ask Krishn... more...

Corruption for the good of the Nation?
Is the nation being pushed to a helplessly  desperate corruption?The debate on the Indo-US nuclear Deal and the heights of Political ploys to tarnish the government just for the sake of contriving an issue for election is quite shocking.The BJP did not want the UPA to scrape victory clean so it contrived the currency drama. Because they could not w... more...

Musings of Methuselah
The InspirationLike an Oyster,The night opened its eyeShadowing the fire-ball,Revealing its pearly eye ball.Awakened by the cool rays of light the wave rose up to kiss the sky.All day it bore its colour.At dusk it wore its blushNow in the darkness In the moon-lit visible darkness,Like a naughty child whoDares in the darkness; it rose....Arose to ki... more...

The Indian Respect for Women
Women in India are respected but only if they are in their limits and live according to the diktats of 'able' men.Watch the farce they are making out of the presidential candidate Prathiba. Many allegations levelled against her,many initiatives to weaken her mentally and smear her candidature.All this to bring an RSS bred shekawat. Why couldn't the... more...

Consume your disappointment, fast!
When opportunities knock we heed not.Now what remains is rediscovering ourselves for reinventing ourselves, in this very short span of time.Man lives for ambition, not money. But pursuit of money itself could be ambition for many. We need to contemplate that if we have to leave this world, we need to leave our footprints also.Footprints that would ... more...

Madam President
One is in politics either directly or indirectly,positively or negatively,consciously or unconsiously says Plato. The decision of Mrs Patil as the UPAs candidate for president is not away from politics. One could look at the obverse and converse side of this decision as is possible for every thing.Ultimately, we must look at the positive side of it... more...

Our world is coming unravelled
I'm continually amazed by a kind of public blindness to the obvious realities around us. I don't want to go into details, arguments, justifications etc. because they obscure the big picture. I don't want to talk about global warming, unsustainable growth, extinction of species etc. because they seem like distant theoretical stuff to us.I'm stating ...  more...

Innocence
She didn't know me. She only smiled and smiled. She just stretched  her little hands for support.And she was able to stand up. Then she put her first step ------one step, two steps and so on-----.She was able to walk.Her face started glowing. Just like the morning Sun, she was all shining. She had stepped into a new world.She had achieved something...  more...

Marijuana
MarijuanaWhile his corpse doped for a ephemeral bliss,The pall enshrouded on his face.Now counting the beads on his bed,He journeyed the land myriads away.Twirling his fingers in gamut of smoke,he discoursed with the silhoutte of hope.He passed his verdict as if king of this realm,But still he is pauper in his own destiny.A sudden shimmer of light ...  more...
