They now want him to be treated as a war criminal...She also agrees that the war was basically about oil.This raised few question in my mind....If Bush and his cabinet can go ahead with war without the ... more...

Team effort
Media has constantly been analyzing the reasons for failure of Royal Challenger Banglore and Deccan Chargers Hyderabad teams. But Banglore team is attracting much more attention due to Vijay Mallaya, who termed his team as "Test Team". One of the main reasons for the team being termed as test team might have been the presence of Rahul Dravid (as ca... more...

The myth of forced Islamic conversions
Today I rea an article in Times of India. I would like to share few lines and my thoughts on that...There is a ongoing debate in USA  on Barak Obama.  Could he, however, be rebranded as the world’s most powerful, and hence vulnerable, apostate.  Edward Luttwak, a fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, wrote recently: “In Isla... more...

Lessons from Iraq War
On this fifth anniversary of the American-led Western attack on Iraq, the struggle between the army of occupation and Iraqi guerilla fighters has reached stalemate. Despite the superficial success the Iraqi militias - Sunni or Shia - have not been finally crushed, but remain in being. The Iraqi militias and Al Qaeda terrorists for their part have b... more...

IPL Cricket
Few days back we saw bidding for the players in IPL.This raised few questions in my mind:1. Is this sustainable:  I don’t think so. It is not possible to build a team just by putting few stars in the squad. It requires much more. If there is a match between Mumbai and Mohali, even Mohali audience will cheer Sachin hitting out at Bratt Lee although ... more...

ARRESTING THE LAW
 Crime and law are partners bound by vigorous handcuffs. They are two sides of the same coin – opposites, linked so inextricably, that the boundaries seem to blur and like Orwell’s pig and man one cannot tell which is which.  Nowhere is this seamless blending more true than in India where the seats of administration and thereby law are densely occu...  more...

Today I will tell you my experiences with books. Being a voracious reader from childhood, I read whatever I get my hands on. When I was a child I used to borrow magazines and story books from friends and relatives. Or used to go to library where I could read all kind of magazines and novels. Thus my reading habit continued. But, ironically, I never...  more...
