VS v/s Vijayan

So there has been a whole lotta coverage in the media,print and electronic, about the spat within the Kerala CPM.
What I would say to Mr. Prakash Karat would be to rein Vijayan in and allow the inquiry against him in the SNC Lavalin case to proceed.No matter,if 90% of the party in Kerala has to [...]

Why I post

A post on this blog is what I want to discuss, but don’t get the forum to.You may say it’s the archive of all the Letters to the Editor I wanted to write,but never got around to doing,due to assorted reasons.
Plus, I feel there is a de-facto monopoly on the Letters to the Editor space.I [...]

0316

Something strange is going on with me.Though I haven’t been able to discern any pattern to any disturbance which may be causing this phenomenon,almost always I wake up at 0316 sharp,no matter when I go to sleep,or when I plan to wake up,which is to say,no matter what I set the alarm for.

Talk is cheap,show me the code…

..or rather,cut the hype,prove yourself by actions.
This is my opinion on Obama,after all the inauguration fuss is over,and everyone has gone back to their homes.Sure,Obama has made a promising start with the order to shut down Gitmo Bay and talking a bit tough to Pakistan on the war on terror,but I’m afraid all the hype [...]

Mumbai terror attacks

After everything is said and done,please stop asking the columnists and CEOs of India about their views on these attacks and how they are different as in how they show the face of terror and not anonymous bombs which go off.
The true people to ask,if you are interested in finding the outrage and anger in [...]

Productive use of spare time

While going to the bus stop to leave for college or coming back,I’ve observed since a few days that some teens of the chawls near my home have devised a productive use of their spare time.This is ,of course, in comparison to going into cigarettes and other random stuff people get into when they have [...]

An anti-terror Golden Shield,privacy be damned

I read Mr. Venkatesan Vembu’s opinion article in the DNA about an anti-terror “Golden Shield”,which would help reduce the response time of the police to catch terrorists who masterminded the dastardly act of violence against New Delhi citizens Saturday.Mr. Venkatesan writes and I quote,”If a ‘Golden Shield’ had been in place in New Delhi on [...]

19th Jun:Maths 4

Maths paper.Studying at the last moment despite a 9-day holiday preceding.
Thinking that this gonna be the worst paper I’ve ever given in my life.Heart beating at 170-200 beats per minute.Question paper in hand looks unnaturally small.I recognize the 1st question I place my eyes on.Heart rate:150 bpm.
Then I look up and it’s the second side [...]

Dad,mom and sis have “deserted” me to an independent life for five days since the 26th upto the 31st of December 2007.The concept is that if I can handle myself for these five days,I shall be considered a “mature” adult on their return.Today,Dec 29th is the 3rd day and I’m already bored with eating the [...]
