On April 26th, just a couple of hours before the news came, her sister Vidya and I were chatting about the new house that she has bought and the fact that I won’t be able to join for the “grihapravesham” that was to happen today. Then Pavithra called […]
In the last few weeks outrage has naturally occurred, embellished for an encore and many times manufactured. I am talking of the brutal rapes that have been reported, some immediately and some after several months. Anyone who hears about a child getting raped, is naturally outraged. Its the […]
Today morning KTV was showing the movie “Johnny”. Its a Tamil movie made in 1980 starring Rajinikanth in a double act and Sridevi, as the actress. The storyline is interesting and simple – Sridevi is a popular singer, and Johnny (Rajinikanth) is her ardent fan. Rajinikanth as Johnny is a […]

Yesterday 26 people were shot dead as they prayed at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. Just 33 days back 50+ people were killed in the Las Vegas shooting. Its unbelievable that nothing seems to pressurize the US policy makers to bring Gun Control. I just read an […]
Every time Krishnan and I see Rajesh and Nupur Talwar, parents of Aarushi, on TV or in a newspaper, we become very emotional. We don’t know them. We didn’t know Aarushi. We certainly don’t know if they are guilty or not guilty of murdering their only child on […]
At first the news said 2 people dead in the Las Vegas shooting…. till I saw the news just now. 50+ people died without any reason, just because no politician wants to bring gun control. I am far away in India, but the news has made me really […]
