I’ve been blogging for the mankind since 2005; but never thought that this SuperBlog would reward me with something totally exciting! About two months ago I received an email from the organizers of the ‘Once In A Lifetime 2.0′ project, informing me about their initiative and an invitation to visit one of the most intriguing places in the world – Israel! I’m one of the 5 international bloggers who will visit Israel on 11 September 2011 for an 11-day trip. [...]
It seems to me that making money through legal way is treated as a crime in India. Everyone, including the Government & General Public think that if a person has amassed wealth – it’s only done through illegal means. The wealthy people are treated as ‘ill-will’ people who are crooks and monsters who suck the blood out of the middle class and poor and build golden villas. I’m not saying that all rich people are nice – but why this [...]
Dear Rahul Gandhi, Today I heard your speech in the parliament during the zero hour. Lot of ‘youngsters and yuppie’ people see you as India’s next prime minister. The basic expectations, I believe, we all have from our leaders is that they speak about everything right from their heart. From my own experiences of talking in public, one doesn’t need ‘written speech’. All I mean is, when you’re well aware of the issues or the subject and have your own [...]
Chetan Bhagat is back with his new book – Revolution 2020. The book is already one of the fastest online selling book in India – and we’ve no surprises. Chetan Bhagat’s first book “Five Point Someone” became one of the best selling book in India and there have been claims that “3 Idiots” – the most earning bollywood movie is inspired from the novel. The following books by Chetan got immense popularity and Chetan has reignited the book-love among Indian [...]

I’m listening to Prime Minister Man Mohan Singh’s speech in the parliament. He’s saying he’s served the nation honestly and anyone can check his personal wealth he’s accumulated in past 41 years. He’s saying that when the nation was on the verge of bankruptcy, his policies saved the country. Man Mohan Singh is taking credit for the ‘globalization’ thing he brough to ‘save’ India. While people see him as a hero, I’ve a counter view. The first question I want [...]
Talks between the civil society members and the government have failed and it seems to be a great Indian political ploy to me to make Rahul Gandhi a Hero and project him as the next Prime Minister Of India, making the poor MMS a scapegoat. So here’s what I fear will happen next – 1. Sonia Gandhi is in the US and she’s definitely there for the mysterious surgery. 2. All the black money in foreign banks will be ‘managed’ [...]
Like all of you (I hope), I’ve been following the developments on Anna Hajare’s fast against corruption and strong Jan Lokpal Bill. From the comments on my previous post, it seems that the Indian intellectuals are hopeless and pessimists who think Jan Lokpal won’t cure everything. It’s been repeatedly said that Jan Lokpal Is Not ‘Cure-All’. But those who’ve cared to read the draft of the Lokpal Bill drafted by the civil society members, it looks quite appealing and strong. [...]
Dear MMS, It’s clear that the nation supports Anna Hajare. It’s very very sad to see that Anna Hajare’s fast has entered 7th day. Worse, you and your government don’t have convincing answers. So common sense says, introduce the Jan Lokpal Bill in parliament. You know it’s possible to do it quickly. Just Do It! You know that forming a new committee to ‘discuss the lokpal bill’ is an old trick. I don’t think any of your tricks are going [...]
I was at a traffic signal yesterday waiting for the signal to turn green. Three poor kids, with torn clothes and all the dirt over their bodies approached me trying to sell me the Indian national flag memento. Before they could start their sales pitch, I had to leave because the signal turned green. I felt sad – not because I couldn’t buy the flag from them but because of the fact that even after several decades of ‘Independent India’, [...]
