The young man completed his graduation and got into a job of hectic work schedules. He was in high spirits..“My job is quite interesting and inspiring. And my take home pay stands at.... I can do wonders at the back of this earning. I decided to write my daily Diary of Events. That way I will be alert. My Manager is a nice guy. Last time I personally met him and he treated me….”All the time, a beautiful Diary was in his hand!A few years passed...
I recently heard a podcast in which a speaker, formally trained in Hindu spirituality, alleging that we are giving Karna more credit than he deserves. True, fate had not been kind to him. Being a product of an unceremonious, society-unsanctioned union, his mother, Kunti, decided that the best course of action was to abandon him in a vessel by the river, to be taken away by the waves, armed only with grand ornaments on his body...

” No, you cannot refuse this!” my wife said. “This is prasad, the divine offering to the gods.”I reluctantly looked at the glazed motichoor ladoo. The memories of my last blood test results started flooding my mind. The learned GP looked disapprovingly at my results through his reading glasses, one eye fixed on the result and the other condescendingly.....
Photo not of the airline in the postIt’s not that I haven’t traveled by budget airlines before. I remember the good old days when we flew from Kuwait City to Bahrain many years ago. A new low-cost carrier had just launched, and — as unbelievable as it sounds — the taxi fare to the airport cost more than the air ticket itself.But that was another time.Recently, I booked a ticket with a well-known full-service carrier...
Photo Courtesy Recently, our washing machine broke down — a minor domestic setback, but one that demanded immediate attention. So, I went to a large electronics store — the kind that sells everything from toasters to 90-inch TVs. It says something about our economy, but that’s not the point here.The salesman appeared promptly — well-trained, eager — and began my guided tour through what I can only describe as the washing machine district...

Leave me alone as I get along with the day!Lately, I’m getting intimidated by the demanding and commanding nature of almost everything I use.I agree, I asked for a wake-up call in the morning — but once I open my eyes and pat the screen, that task should be done. There’s no need to keep buzzing like a nagging child. That’s one time I feel like throwing the phone away, but even in half-sleep, the price tag flashes before my eyes.Score: Love-All...
Ever since I heard the story of crabs in a bucket — that no crab can escape because the others pull it back — I’ve been intrigued by how much we humans resemble them. Why do we do the same? Why pull others down when they try to climb up?For years, I couldn’t find a satisfying answer. Not until today. Now I know that both crabs and humans are tied by the same number — the less of magic and more of tragic number — Ten. Crabs have ten cla.....

The city marked 100 days of its new government with much fanfare. At the centre of it all was Delhi’s new Chief Minister, Mrs. G (with due apologies to the soul of the original Mrs. G), who released a “workbook.” Yes, Dilliwalahs, a workbook! Whatever that means. This and more in our latest blog...
