In the good old days, if the politician visits your place, make sure that you are one among the huge crowd. I still remember certain speeches by top leaders (no matter which party he or she belong to). Once V K Krishna Menon who was to visit us at 6pm, reached our place at 11:30pm …

From 3-0 to 92 all out!
“Wow!!!” All is well that ends well. If there is a will there is a way. Under Rohit’s captaincy, what else it could be. Why are these guys so happy? Maybe, they would have sent back some top order Indian batsman. A run out? Of course, a run out. I put the newspaper on the …
Wannabe superstars!
The curtain is not wide open, though certain scenes, not-so-interesting, are on show but with the sole purpose of keeping the audience in good humor. The supporters of budding heroes, who could be grandsons or daughters of former heroes, are eagerly waiting for them. If you too are eager to know who is who, the …

Serials all the way
Watching a couple of programs, mostly T.V. serials has become an unavoidable habit. At times, I used to wonder why I should waste my time on these serials but when I think about these serials or certain interesting programs what comes to my mind is the fact that these programs in hundreds of channels are …
An evening walk indeed!
A lazy mind may have hundred excuses to make it appear that an evening walk is worthless but an “adamant self†defies the order and pushes you out with a smile. The beginning of my evening walk on that day looked neither clumsy nor dynamic! So, off I went, enjoying the race between the farmers …
Beware of super stars!

Policies of the good old Parties face several problems because …
Rain, Shine, Snow, Wind and the Common Man
Nature has to appear in different forms and colors, keeping the people in different parts in good humor or in not-so-happy moods in other parts! The mood of the people in different parts of the world depends on how hot the sun in during summer or how dark and windy the area is during winter …
