Dear Salman Khurshid, we are smarter than you think

Published on 2011-09-08 10:25:00

Just saw a Devil’s advocate program in which Salman Khurshid tells Karan that his viewers wont understand the word ‘euphemism’. Small Note to him : We are smarter than you think ! (As you might discover during the next polls)

Now we cant even protest in peace !

Published on 2011-08-15 15:12:00

Really mesmerized by the government’s latest move imposing restrictions on the protest by Anna Hazare, whats particularly interesting is that there was no such condition on the earlier fasts. Totally furious with our government ! And we have party morons on talkshows telling us to reject the bill because its not going to work anyway !!

Indian Govt’s Lokpal Bill a bad joke !

Published on 2011-08-06 11:43:00

If you have been feeling that the Indian Govt. is shortchanging citizens with its Lokpal Bill, then you probably are right, have a look at these thought provoking talks by Arvind Kejriwal. Opened my eyes ! Kapil Sibal’s and Digvijay Singh’s comments are aired by all news channels, lets see how many show this!

Google Goggles Ad :)

Just found this while spring cleaning my computer, had made this in my sophomore (or was it 3rd) year of college for an inter-college competition. As you might have guessed, we had to design an advertisement for fictional Google goggles. I didn’t win, apparently the ad wasn’t MBA-ish enough. But still thought it was worth sharing. Click for a better view. Disclaimer : The ad was made while I was in college and has nothing to do with my organization's views and is completely a work of fi

Karan Thapar's interview of Digvijay Singh

Published on 2011-04-18 17:09:00

I am tempted to write this blogpost regarding the recent Devil's Advocate episode in which Karan Thapar grills assists Digvijay Singh with the ultimate aim to create doubts about the great civil campaign meant to fight corruption. Throughout the first segment of the show both Karan and  Digvijay indulge in what I would like to call borderline slander against Anna Hazare and the other civil Lokpal members. The interview seemed very biased to me and this is the first time I am thinking that

Let us support Anna Hazare

Published on 2011-04-08 00:10:00

I come back from my blogging hiatus to support the great crusader of the rights of Indian citizens, Mr. Anna Hazare. He is the person who was single handedly responsible for bringing about the right to information act. The RTI act is one of the most powerful pieces of legislation which empower citizens of India to keep a check on the Govt. and its often times corrupt activities. So when Anna Hazare starts a fast unto death, it’s a very important event for this country. Mr. Hazare is now fight

Bachelorhood Experiences : Food Cravings !

Published on 2010-11-28 11:20:00

Its one of those things about bachelorhood, every once in a while you crave a certain type of food that wont be available in the God-forsaken place you live in and you have to make it yourself. Sometimes its complicated (like the lotus stem dish my mom used to make) but sometimes its as innocuous as lime soda. So here it is my friends, my lime soda craving. It all started after a visit to the Little Italy restaurant in Banjara Hills on a team outing , the sweet lime water there was so nice that

Why we need a Whistleblower Law in India

Published on 2010-04-02 04:31:00

  Ok so I am back to writing serious posts. There is an issue which has been bugging me for quite some time, last few years actually. Its the lack of transparency in government offices in India. Ever since a student steps out of school, he realises that the big bad world is not such a nice place to live in. Officials are blatantly corrupt and care little about threats to senior authorities etc. The situation in Delhi is much better than other parts of the country, but still we have a long

Bad experience on Delhi’s Roads

Published on 2010-02-25 13:17:00

I was coming home from college, was near Dwarka when I saw this Alto which had some contractor pvt. ltd. written behind it (typical business run cars in Delhi with disregard for any law), all glasses heavily tinted, driver window half open. The car was in the middle lane and I successfully overtook it on the right overtaking lane and also sounded a brief horn to let the car know. I look towards the right side and see the Alto accelerate and also tilt towards me, to my horror I see the moron dr
