Back in Engineering, a bunch of us close friends had the habit of asking ‘so what’s your point?‘, usually when one of us was sharing details about some important or serious incident with the rest. For instance, say a relatively shy friend was explaining about how he struck a conversation with a girl he had a…
Hi. This post is not an original. I read it on Facebook and thought, I have share it with my readers, since it’s relevant for most, if not all of us. So here goes… Once upon a time, there lived a King who, despite his luxurious lifestyle, was neither happy nor content. One day, the…
On October 31, 1984, a lady was assassinated by 2 men from the Sikh community. What ensued was over 3000 Sikhs being massacred by a crazed people, in a span of under 4 days.

To the Degenerate Idiots in the Delhi Police, Politicians sisters, daughters, mothers and wives do not get raped. They are totally unaffected and could not care less about what is happening around the streets and alleys of their country. It was your lack of responsibilities that led to the gruesome incident on Dec 16, 2012. And yet,…
In the Delhi gang rape case, let the government not consider life imprisonment for the 6 guilty bastards. We citizens do not want to feed and rear such vermin for the rest of their damned lives. Like Juhi Chawla suggested, make the punishment an ‘eye for an eye’. I say, let the punishment be such…
“When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it–always.” – Mahatma Gandhi A friend of mine recently came across an article titled ‘The…
I have never worn a Livestrong wristband, but I could well understand the degree of inspiration, faith and belief that people felt while sporting one of those bands, anywhere around the world. It came from not just any foundation doing work towards a noble cause, but from a foundation that was inspired by a cancer…
