Flex Vs Ajax
Technology wars have a tendency of getting a little bit fanatical sometimes. I clearly remember the Unix vs Windows war, the OSI vs TCP war and many such wars that have unfolded before me and have even sucked me in as a foot soilder at times. To set the record straight, I was, am and will an Unix enthusiast until Windows becomes Open Source. (Yea, ... more...

The Indian Heritage
The speech contained in the graphic reads thus:LORD MACAULAY'S ADDRESS TO THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT, 2 FEBRUARY, 1835I have traveled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such calibre, that I do not think we would... more...

Separation stands witness to true Love
True love is not measured just by how happy you are when together, but how gracefully you bear separation and how true you remain through it.Separation, Berahah, Judai, by whatever name you call it, has from early times been the stuff of soulful love ballads, geets and ghazals. Was it not Shelley who had so rightly said that “Our sweetest songs are... more...

Vanderlust
The memories of the early eighties in Itanagar still appear to me in a magical hue. Particularly the winter months. Itanagar was not as cold a place as was Shillong but invariably winter brought in its wake foggy mornings that turned our C-sector into a fairy land. The farm produce seemed extra crisp and tasty, and my brother and I got to wear the ... more...

Godspeed Benazir
In a world that grows dangerous by the day, the ability to stand for one's convictions and beliefs speaks highly of any politician. Benazir did that and payed a heavy price. Truly it is a sad day for the sub-continent. She had displayed tremendous courage in returning to her homeland when an clear danger to her life stared at her and her country wa... more...

A New Hope
The Star Wars series began with the 4th episode - A New Hope that showed the rebels consolidate their position against the Empire. Fast paced and packed with action, the episode ends with the threat of Death Star having been destroyed by Luke who is just beginning to understand the ways of "the Force" and the rebels rejoicing at having won an impor... more...

Bhor bhaye baaje Madhur Muralia
Bhajans have a therapeutic quality to them. When sung and listened to with devotion they lift up the conscience from the physical plane to one that somehow feels closer to the Lord. Even more uplifting, are the participatory Kirtans, where the whole assembly sings along with the lead singers and as the combined love of all the bhaktas finds express... more...

Raja Bahadoor
His sideways profile has always adorned the pages of history and social studies books of my boyhood. I remember Raja Ram Mohun Roy from those days as a sketched figure with a traditional turban looking far away, as if to some distant utopia. Like so many other school boys I associated with him key words like Brahmo Samaj, Abolition of Sati and Soci... more...

Travels with Rudra
Rudra is presently on a trip to the United Kingdom. It was raining so heavily there and people were in such gloomy mood that he felt that they could do with a little bit of sunshine. Of course he knows that his ol’ Mom and Dad can’t do a thing without him, so he took them with him. Besides he does like being hugged by these guys (while no one is lo... more...

Denying Lord Rama
The affidavit denying the historicity of Lord Rama, was nothing short of a master stroke by the Congress-Left cartel. Deny the Setu today, the Jhanambhoomi tomorrow and the whole of Hinduism the day after. That was perhaps their game plan, until the indignation of Hindus across the country forced Saint Sonia to do her Ram Rescuing act.  Perhaps in ... more...
