Ever since I have taken spirituality seriously, I have listened to a number of discourses, done a few kinds of meditations and practiced a way of living to create eternal inner peace. This has varied from listening to many gurus and institutions, right from India to Australia to America. The purpose has been to attain […]

What intrigues me more? A billionaire investor with an insatiable appetite for acquiring companies, or an entrepreneur par excellence with a rare talent and expertise to build a kingdom? I’d go for the former. If an entrepreneur is the king, then the large-looming investor is the Oracle. If I might add, an investor is the […]

My trip to Berlin started on a very anxious note, which quite embarrassingly I cannot disclose here (my friends know what I am talking about). Anyhow, things went smoother once I boarded my Air France (Warning: avoid flying Air France) flight to the German Capital via Paris (where I missed my connecting flight and waited […]

For you and for me, and the entire human race
There are people dying, if you care enough
For the living, make a better place
For you and for me
- Heal the World, Michael Jackson
This world is a place of conflicts. Our inner conflicts. Conflicts between people, between relations. Conflicts […]

Now, that’s what you call a president. Charismatic, dynamic, intelligent, intellectual and bloody fit, with less than an inch of flab. Barack Obama (Just when I am typing his name I realized that it is just a matter of time that Microsoft adds his name to the Word dictionary) has done well to flaunt his […]

The Modern Folk Hero
In these times of global meltdown, there is no dearth of news that keeps you amused. The infamous shoe-thrower is already being idolized in anti-American countries and worshipped by anti-western sects. That comes as no surprise, but in a true Middle East style of paying tribute to a hero, a large […]
