On April 1st, I received a Court order. But I had not written an article in two weeks so I could not have offended anyone. Then I thought it might be an April Fool’s prank. But alas, it turned out that the Court order was real and it was pertaining to the young lawyer-turned-politician, Tejasvi…
Karnataka Water Works
March 16, 2019Temperature may be rising and Cauvery may be drying up but on Wednesday, Holenarasipura taluk in Hassan district saw heavy rains. Why?

Women Entrepreneurship
March 9, 2019March 8 was Women’s Day and as I was driving I noticed a cow grazing on plastic. I felt women and bovines are treated very similarly by a patriarchal society.

Air-strike Afterthoughts…
March 2, 2019Financial Shield Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman is back on Indian soil and some say with his return a war has been averted. But we doubt if there would have been a war at all.

February 23, 2019On Valentine’s Day, it was not the red of roses that engulfed India, but the blood of our soldiers.

All this pink in the air reminded me of a video circulated in social media where a lady, in an attempt to speak about stereotyping…
Can Indira 2.0 save Congress?
February 2, 2019On 23rd January, the Congress finally played its Ace card when it was left out of the SP-BSP coalition in UP. It appointed Priyanka Gandhi Vadra as the Party General Secretary for Eastern Uttar Pradesh in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections. Priyanka’s entry into full-time politics surely has given hope to most Congressmen….
New Vidhana Soudha : Eagleton Golf Resort ?
January 19, 2019The nataka in Karnataka is never-ending. With BJP sending their folk to Gurugram and a few Congress MLAs and independent MLAs hiding out in Mumbai, the political nataka is playing out like a Shakespearean play — there are dubious characters and shrewd manipulators.
