This is one riot that I absolutely love. The riot of colors! I have begged, pleaded, and fought with all my bosses for 2 days of leave, to come back home to play Holi. And returned the next day back to work all pink and green. My friends who have played with us like forever, have also gone back to work all pink, blue and green.We have played with colors, crystals, and yes with food stuff too -

Every time I look at the photo I cant help but feel a twinge of regret Young carefree girl, looking for an emotional anchor Wants to have fun, wants to know where her life is leading and hungering for love. 15 years old, drugs and sex she should have been in school her mother was receiving grants from the govt so that her kids go to school so why wasn’t she?

Women's day has come and gone. A day to celebrate women's achievements. But seriously why do we need to be reminded to do so? If only we learnt to give respect, encouragement, where it is due and not suppress, belittle, encroach on women's rights.Vikram Muthanna of Star of Mysore has written a very apt article. Reproduced it below, as the link may not workMusings On Women's Day It's Women's

Networking is the name of the game. To increase your social, personal and professional life you have to network. Meet new people, make new friends, get new contacts contracts..u get the picture.We learnt in school that the world is round. Since the advent on internet, it's a flat world. Add networking to it and it shrinks. You have all sorts of people, from different places, some like minded and

Filling up my college form was a revelation. The form demanded a caste and a sub-caste. Until then all I knew was that I was an Indian and a Hindu. And I was clueless.Did I lead a sheltered life? Yes! The first thing I was taught was that I am an Indian. North, South, East or West didn't matter. Our ancestors fought hard for us to live freely and to live together as one. Imagine if each state

Santosh TAGGED me to go down memory lane. Before we go there, a little background. I'm a fourth generation North Indian settled in the south. So most of the post below will be about traveling during summer holidays to grandparents place in UP.

I came across this poem written by Khalil Gibran on Children in his book The Prophet. Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may

Mumbai was considered a safe city in the night for women to travel. Now it seems to be going the Delhi way. Mob molests 2 women on New Years day in MumbaiBut is only the mob responsible? What was the need to go out for a walk so late in the night. If you are dressed in a certain way, it becomes your responsibility to make sure you stay away from sensitive areas. Don't get me wrong, I wear

Its been 6 days since the death of Benazir Bhutto. And still there no questions are being raised about who killed her,forget the answers. The Pak govt. is concerned only about how she died. Repeated news footage make it clear that she died of a gun shot wound and not due to a fractured skull. The Interior Ministry is only interested in covering its ass, they failed in their job of providing

Its that time of the year again. When the whole world celebrates at the same time, same day and same occasion. Its the New Year!Its also the time when the most accidents and deaths happen. And all due to drinking and driving. Bike/Car and Booze make a deadly combination during Christmas and New Year. 90% of the deaths and accidents are because of drinking and driving. Police records show that

"Had no option but to kill her." wtf?Watching the news last night, left me stumped at Rohit's confession. In a fit of anger during an argument with his wife, he tried to gag her and then his arm went around her neck and she strangulated. Then he puts her in a suitcase and disposes of it close to his home. All this because she pushed him? What was this man thinking? Looks to me that he just

Its World Aids Day today. Though its been close to two decades since this dreaded disease was discovered, there is still no cure. Further in developing countries, people are still mis-informed and reluctant to discuss it. There is a social paranoia attached to AIDS & HIV. Today is not just about raising money but increasing awareness, fighting prejudice and improving education. HIV today is a

Deve Gowda, undoubtedly, the man of the moment has made a mockery of the Indian Government, the Karnataka Government and the people of Karnataka. He has proved without doubt that he has his own selfish interests at heart and not of the people as he so claims. He is trying to run a government rather form one on the whims and fancies of his power hungry sons!And to think he is the ex Pm of India!

Photographer Leonardi Stanzani captured these unbelievable photographs of a Bottlenose Dolphin giving birth. Very few dolphins have been captured in this astonishing detail.

"Lady in Rajkot strips and parades semi nude to protest against harassment" screamed the headlines. All the news channels showed her walk to the police commissioners office. Why did it take an extreme step by Puja Chauhan to get the court and the police to react? Could it not have been avoided? Had the print and electronic media not hyped it, giving it such a coverage would a case have been
