Unauthorised Colonies Are a Boon for the Citizens of Delhi

Call it irony or whatever else, the unauthorised colonies have been a boon for the citizens of Delhi. These colonies have allowed the real needy people to construct houses and thus checked black marketing of land. Many people put up an argument that the DDA’s control over the developed land has led to high land prices by creating artificial scarcity. But, actually the reverse is true. I need to speak…

Privacy of Ratan Tata

Undoubtedly, the privacy of Ratan Tata has been infringed: He has a private life and has every right to abuse, gossip, flirt, fantasize, crib, dream, etc., in his private life; no body has any right to listen to him sans permission unless he talks to some person performing some public duty (directly or indirectly) with respect to some public affair. Nira Radia might have acted as a public person in…

Not Just the Save Tiger Project, Please

Now, I am kind of bored writing about Naxals, so let this be my last post on them. First thing first! Who carried out the West Bengal train attack? The Indian Government strongly suspects a Naxal hand either directly or indirectly through one of their front organizations.

Dhoka No. 1: It has been made to believe that the video clippings in the movie are real, but they are in fact acted upon and screen played. In the director’s own words, “Imagine…

Budget 2010: Choices Before the Finance Minister

The Indian society has started walking on a path where the economic culture and the social culture are becoming synonymous. The status of a person is known by what he earns, and it doesn’t matter whether the earning is legal or illegal, moral or immoral. The status of a politician/government servant is known by the kind of bribe he demands. The status of a businessman is known by the assets…

Muthalik Kahin WOH to Nahin?

Pramod Muthalik was participating in a television discussion on Valentine’s Day, when a man ran towards him with an ink bottle and threw it in his face.“I will find him, whichever corner he is in. I will reply in the same way,” said Muthalik. This is completely unfair towards girls. When they sent him their pink chaddis, he didn’t offer them his saffron langot. Now when some guy has played…
