Digital Democracy

Growing distrust on the present political framework, and poor accountability from the political leaders have cornered the people. Any further delays will render the democratic model dysfunctional. Democracy is the only humane form of governance. Suggest a quantitative measure to monitor the qualities in political leadership. An idea, open to be tweaked and evolved.

Stumbled Upon a Time Machine

Today I had downloaded an app onto my mobile. While entering initial details, I was to enter my date of birth. The developers and company who had produced that app seem to have been in a hurry. The date-picker took me from the current date to my date of birth, one-month-at-a-time. I tried if I

Express Love

This is not about fast-tracked Love, as in Express trains, this is about expression of Love.   I happened to watch the movie ABCD recently (it is relatively old). I met a contradiction in KK Menon and Prabhu Deva. Both were having different stand points, former about ‘Impressing’ and latter about ‘Expressing’. Somehow, I was

Spiderman’s failed Commitment

Anybody who has seen the Spiderman movie(s), will know that Spiderman – as Peter Parker – had failed in his commitments to his Uncle Ben and Aunt May. In the last so many episodes we have seen that our Super Hero – Spiderman had given his perspective of justice and excuses of not providing for

Ageing

I find a serious conspiracy around me, to make me older than I am. Firstly, whenever I see myself in front of the mirror, I find the mirror is trying to show me older.  My skin looks drier and with lesser sheen. It hides the glowing shine from my skin and highlights wrinkles and darker

Won’t Get What You Don’t Deserve

This discussion is quite a variant of What you sow, you reap. You won’t get what you don’t deserve. Folks, Trust-Deficit is emphatically one strong reason that applies to so many failing relationships. It could be personal or business, relationship is a relationship dot. Now apply this – when you won’t give trust, what right

The Unprofessional

Highly inspired by Subroto Bagchi’s The Professional, I was riding on a wave of optimism of the highest order.  Hope you had noticed the ‘was’.   Suddenly, my perspective went to dumps after some turn of events – which when I investigated for the cause and effect, highlighted an area for serious discussion. Professionalism is

Underplayed Role of Son

I have always been carrying a regret of having underplayed the Role of a Son. A father could not have been more caring, loving, doting, self-sacrificing, yet very unsung about it – my Father was so.  My grandmother was so very close to me, she was more mother than the symptomatic grand-mother. I had the great fortune

The Maggi Moments

Nestle should be paying me a honorarium for this title, for helping their brand recall after the litigation about its palatability. Don’t rush into judgements about the content of this article yet.  Maggi and two-minutes have become so synonymous to each other and I chose to use Maggi because it appeals to more people in

Pain and Agony

Pain and Agony both indicate the same very unpleasant feeling, varying in intensity and time. So unpleasant, we wouldn’t like to think of it. But when it happens in whatever ways, for those moments when we are in it, the whole world would have fallen on us.  Remember pain and agony  during Kingfisher times (read good
