(Photography V2) (Mumbai) Visit to Powai Lake I used to pass by Powai Lake many times but never had stopped to enjoy its beauty. This Sunday, I got down and felt the lake and its surroundings. Here are some snapshots of what I saw and felt: Mirror Image (Hiranandani Gardens visible as reflection in Powai Lake) Ek ghar aisa [...] (Politics) It’s the people, stupid!

The ruling political party of Congress (INC) whom I had blamed for many things including visibly evident poor economic management (resulting in farmers’ suicides) and sitting duck (institutional lapses in Mumbai [...] Sister Nivedita in her book “Cradle Tales of Hinduism” tells the story of Sati. This is one of the most soul touching narrations I have ever read: (Hinduism / Sanatana Dharma) Sati : The Perfect Wife Long, long ago, in the beginning of time, there was a god called Duksha, who counted himself chief of divinities [...] (Smaller Gods V2) Lessons from the Kiddo – Twenty minutes in the Bus It was a usual Mumbai morning when I boarded a local bus. After some time I started hearing some chuckles from nearby. It was a baby, who was chattering around. I saw that a Muslim family had boarded the bus and that baby was [...] (Politics) Rahul Gandhi’s one-nigh-stands at Dalit Houses If there were any previous benchmarks in political hypocrisy, Rahul G, the crown prince of Nehru dynasty has surpassed all and he seems to have set one of his own.

I had gone to watch Wake Up Sid (WUS) on the first day of its release. The movie was well made, very much enjoyable and I loved it. It’s a story of a girl from Kolkata who comes to Mumbai with big dreams and no contacts. She [...] (India V3) Can the world correct where Gandhi failed us? Some days back, a UN report claimed that Iran had the expertise to make nuclear bombs. That made me thinking. It reminded me of Pakistan’s greatest (or world’s worst) scientist - AQ Khan. Some time back he had accused the Pakistani Govt of ‘using’ him for [...] (Hinduism / Sanâtana Dharma) How to Dispel Negativity and be Centered on the Positive Images tell a thousand stories. And I find all the Hindu images of the divine as very positive. On the other hand, I found some of the images from other religions as negative in character (e.g. a cross and a crucified dead [...] (Personal) The Pencil Sharpener and Lessons from My Temptations Our company launched a campaign in collaboration with an NGO called Goonj which works in the social sector.
