Of course, there are some columns in the newspapers which are beyond the reach till the newspapers arrive! Anyway, the newspapers have some limits because most of the …

By me to me… no problem!
Who are the most important persons in a country like India? The answer is, “Politicians”, during general elections. OK, on other days? Journalists… I mean the reporters. Good… They are the ones who have to follow the politicians here and there, and send their remarks on various parties, or about the changes they have in …
Wait till Sunday! Make it a habit for your kids.
Though most of us get the daily news items much before the day’s newspaper reaches you, the good old habit of reading the dailies force you to wait till the day’s newspaper arrives at your home! Most of us prefer the headlines which appear in the first page and then to local news items and …
Politics, then and now.
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 …

At times, the demands are such that if accepted, it would land the government in …
Job opportunities
Gone are the days when job seekers had limited options, mostly based on their qualifications. Most of them opted for government jobs in view of job security. Those aiming at jobs in private companies were assured of better salaries but they had to work beyond the office hours. Anyway, money weighed more than ‘leisure’! But, …
Invigorating songs
“My eyes were wide open. Yet I saw a dream… all because of you.†One of my favorite movie songs was on the air and I crossed over to the other side of the busy road and positioned myself close to a shop which sells items connected with songs and movies. All my irritations paled …
