We all in India know how the private transport operators hold us to ransom, time and again, to increase their fares. The most recent incident being that of autorickshaw(hereafter referred to as auto) drivers in mumbai threatening to go on strike, if base fares are not increased from rs. 9 to rs. 15. This is […]
A Gloomy Day for Indian Skies
It was one of the worst days for Indian aviation. The news of the Mangalore plane crash left us all shocked at the office. I wouldn’t like to give hyperlink to the details of this news, cause you might have heard/seen it on media. But as I reached home in the evening, I was shocked […]
Here to Serve you……Charges Applicable
Loot Loot Loot!!! The mobile sharks are out for a loot. The current addition in their charging frenzy is levying a charge on the calls to their customer care executives. I was shocked when, while trying to communicate with the customer care executive of airtel, I was informed by the pre-recorded voice, that chatting to […]
Dig and Fill….??

The interview was largely about his remarkable survival as a prisoner of war, wherein he described the treatment they had endured and his survival because of his good […]
Hyderabad Blues
So I decided not to go to Hyderabad. What a waste of my leave!! And because of whom? The supporters of destruction. It seems that people all over the country have no work to do, other than carry out the schemes of their leaders. In the name of a separate state a large amount of […]
An Award for Terrorism
The high court is of the stand that the state has to compensate for illegal detention for petty theft. The amount being thought upon by the court is 5000 rs per day. Now an ugly thought creeps up my mind. Take ‘our’ kasab. He now claims to have been held in custody, 10 days before […]
