Touching feet and gifting money – Stupid Indian Traditions
In: India
2 Jan 2011Touching the feet is one stupid Indian tradition. It’s meant to show respect towards the elders and it’s a way of seeking blessings. Asking for blessings? Excuse me! What is that? Blessings? What does it do? You obviously don’t have any super power to make radical changes in my life, so put the blessing things [...]
Can we punish people behind 26/11?
In: India
26 Nov 2010It’s been two years since the ghastly attack on India took place in my Mumbai. As usual our PM vows to bring 26/11 perpetrators to book. Mr Singh, do you have courage to order RAW to start an insurgency in Pakistan and assassinate the perpetrators in their home? Like Israel did to perpetrators of Munich [...]

Gandhi and 26/11? WTF!
19 Sep 2010Manas Kumar Sahu – the sand painting artist – and his team performed on India’s Got Talent. They started with a scene of 26/11, drew the Mumbai skyline, Tajmahal Hotel, Gateway of India, then drew a terrorist and finally ended with a portrait of Gandhi. Everybody gave them a standing ovation. Fair enough. But what [...]

Election 2009 results – my views
16 May 2009Well I had voted for BJP and I am disappointed that the candidate I had voted for lost, but I am happy that Left will not be a part of the government this time and that we will have a stable government for next 5 years. The primary reason I voted for BJP was that [...]
Are we secular? Hell no!
26 Apr 2009I hear it a lot these days. Congress is a “secular” party, India is a secular nation. BJP is a non-secular/communal party, they instigate hate. Modi, Varun Gandhi, Advani are all hate mongers. Lalu, Mulayam, the left parties often claim they want to bring a “secular” government to the center. They all are seculars, BJP [...]

Things to learn from American Democracy
30 Jan 2009India is the largest democracy in the world. And we’ve been doing doing just fine under the parliamentary democratic system for past 60+ years. We may have fully switched to Electronic Voting Machines that no other country (even developed one) has been able to archive but we have a few things to learn from one [...]
