Its strange – most people I know take a break for blogging when they’re too busy I’m diametrically opposite – I tend to stop blogging when I’ve been having a lot of fun. Maybe a bit too much fun for my own good. I went to L Subramanian’s concert yesterday. It was a breathtaking experience. […]

It’s heartening to see young people in India starting a political party. Much of the problems of the Indian political scene – we feel – is due to lack of involvement of new ideas from the younger generation. Lets hope Paritrana can fill the gap. I’m impressed by the party’s ideology, which is based on […]

Couldn’t resist the title and the cover – I bought this book soon after I returned from my trip to India. The story starts just after Episode III ends. Overall, its just about a decent book.
