If wishes were horses….

If I like someone from the Republican candidates for the white house, I like John Mccain who is unfortunately lagging behind in the polls. But this article in The Newsweek presents a scenario as to how he could win the nomination. I counted the number of “ifs” in the first page of the [...]

Bringing the Greenback

Wired runs an excellent piece on how startups are trying to bring the greenbacks but bringing green back. Of all the things that you can do to reduce your carbon footprint, the most important thing is said by Kate Smolski in the article

Exhilarating

There are only a few movies that you would see in your life where you wish you were one of the players in the movie. To me, The Motorcycle Diaries is one such film. Even keeping Che Guevara aside, I admire the movie just for the fact the lead actors just do not give [...]

The Hoax

Is it a protection of the so-called “Indian” culture, a prospect of law and order problem or not enough space in the Bangalore roads. Considering that women [...]

its getting weirder everyday

How about becoming vegetarian
Eva Mendes image has gone north with the animal activists as quickly as Michael Vick’s went south because she did something she does ever so often – pose nude. But the activists are over the moon that she posed nude protesting the use of fur for her clothing. I think [...]

Intense and realisitc

At the surface, Evano Oruvan is yet another movie  about the protagonist wanting to change the system. While other movies portray the change makers as super-heroes going on a violent spree, evading the cops and prevailing the system, this one exactly captures how someone amongst you and me would act if they get [...]
