Internet has long transformed into life from technical invention. I have hardly seen a person in my recent past who doesn’t browse on the Internet. Like all others, I have my daily dose of vitamins.

Social responsibility is a privilege and not duty. When my good friend Probir Goyal told me about Invite For Good, I was floored by his ‘responsible’ idea. Not everyone would have thought about it, even so, very few could have put it in action. He took on a social responsibility who believes in ‘giving’ back to the society and created this website. It is a cross roads between social life and charity, a wonderful idea of giving ‘real gifts’. I…
Promise to keep, dreams to fulfill and miles to go. This has been my tag line ever since I knew English as a language. It was more than an inspiration and my frequent quotes of those lines are more than just a coincidence. Lately, I started to think where am I with these lines? Funny or not, the first two parts of these lines have been in thin air, while the third one did became part of my life. Ever…
Way to Saina, you’ve made us all proud. Congratulations on winning the Indonesia Super Series. Badminton is one sport I guess has been put in the back burner for quite a while in India. I was lucky enough to have played that sport for quite a while and personally I think I am a thorough professional in this game. It was more hereditary in nature than anything else, although my father had a big name in Ball Badminton, more famous…
Hmm! I am so frustrated. The world has not stopped from discrimination and injustice. I am more pissed off on Vanity Fair to have initiated a voting to select the most handsome man on this planet and good God, Rob Pattison (The vampire hero of Twilight) was selected as the winner. This is not just fair, more so vanity fair. One guy was in the last minute thrown out of the short list as the judge panel discriminated based on…
When it come to insanity, no one can come close to the US Stock Market. They contradict a statement made to contradict an earlier statement issued to contradict the statement made in contradiction to an earlier statement..(I will stop). Don’t take these dates seriously, but the sequence of events were not wrong. June 15th: Stock markets loose. Dollar rises and commodity stocks rise. Oil crosses $70 mark. June 16th: Stock markets loose. Dollar declines and commodity stocks plunge. Oil crosses…
I could have not imagined that I would pen down appreciation for Pakistan in my dreams, but exceptions are not finite and I could not wait to scribble this down. More than any team in this edition of T20 World Cup, Pakistan has shown everyone what a TEAM means. When you have harmony equally mixed with happiness, the result is always success and Pakistan had more than demonstrated that on the field yesterday to run down South Africa and reach…
HMDA Master Plan The above link is the news item published in Times of India in the Hyderabad section today. The article briefly discuss the so called ‘Master Plan’ to widen roads in Hyderabad to accommodate the growth and traffic in Hyderabad Metropolitan area. We had a close family friend who is now retired used to work in Town Planning Office located in Masab Tank area. Its a huge complex housing hundreds (may be more than thousand) of employees authorized…
There is a saying in our tradition, if you point one finger there are 4 left, pointing oneself. I felt sad at people pointing fingers at the Indian team failing to go to Semi-Finals. The so called supporters suddenly withdrew the support and started raising their voices and filled up the blogs with their analysis. Dhoni admits mistake, write most of the columnists and people started finding mistakes in the strategy. Unfortunately you would only find those flaws when you…
Opera and EU are two cry babies. They complain that MS ships its Windows Operating System with IE pre-installed and they both think that it is anti-competitive. I think both of them just go f*** themselves, literally. The EU cry baby just wants to squeeze money out of a wonderfully rich MS by hook or crook. They talk about fair business practise when racism is their daily coffee. Do they file a similar complaint on Apple for shipping with Safari,…
