The ‘Mahatma’ Fida Hussain

Ideally, the press and the journalists try to expose what is hidden beneath the rug. Not by peeping into individuals’ lives, for we are a billion people, but it happens particularly with whom we call celebrities. It is a cost to their celebrity-status that they have to undergo a scrutiny by the journalists. But at [...]


My Experiments with Made-in-India Brands!

I remember the day when I had to buy my first motorbike. I was on my first job, in Chhattisgarh, and I went on a search to find a bike in the market. I wanted to buy an Indian brand only. I won’t even take a Hero Honda because Honda for me was Japanese, even [...]


Which is more Powerful - Good or Bad?

Someone asked me, “Which is more powerful: good or bad?” Here are my thoughts and the reply:

Book Review: The Difference Maker by John C. Maxwell

Book Review: Law of Attraction, by Michael Losier

‘Law of Attraction’
By Michael Losier
Hodder Mobius Publication  
If you have read “The Secret” (by Rhonda Byrne), this book becomes evident. Yet it can reveal some things you missed in that book. When I started reading it, I thought it came from the same author, and when I realised it was from another, I wondered why. Because [...]


Organized Conversion by Christian Missionaries

Just read the following article and can’t contain my happiness. I believe organized religious conversion out of Hinduism should be legally banned in India. Individual conversions are personal choices and should be left out. But the manner in which Christian / Catholic missionaries have been spreading their propaganda funded by foreign money/donations, it is shameful [...]
