ICC 20:20 Advantage Cricket
The game of cricket is undergoing a change and after all the world cup fiasco it would be better to have a cricket match of 20 overs each where we can watch enjoy to the core and also there is a time to save.Watching a full day of cricket would no more be a possibility because as the era of commercialiastion enters a new phase and in the time of in... more...

Vipassana is a meditation practice propagated by the Buddha; it is useful for calming the mind and nerves and removing stress. In this era, most people are not interested in dharma and mokhsha. Of the four purusharthas, now only two are being full filled; Artha and Kama, when you go into Artha and Kama without the balancing effects of Dharma and Mo...  more...

My early tryst with books
Personal V2Memories My first book Some of you suggested that I should write a book. And some of my friends tried to convince me that can become a great writer some day.

Modi, a hero
Though I also operate within the realms of Indian English media, though I am aware of its “pseudo-secular” credentials, I was baffled by the kind of lop-sided, anti-Modi coverage of the Gujarat elections, especially in the electronic media. The English newspapers and news channels declare themselves as “unbiased and secular” while they act as if th...  more...

Mila 18 is one of the most marvellous books I have read in a while. Set in the Warsaw Ghetto, it is an engaging story of Jews standing up to the Nazis. Leon Uris describes in a compelling fashion the trials of the Jews as they withstood the onslaught of heavily armed Nazi attacks with their ragged armies formed by ordinary people. With extreme dete...  more...
