Unwrap Swami & Friends, Now.

February 16, 2023

As you drive near the Joy Ice Cream Factory in Yadavagiri, you will see three mummies wrapped in black plastic at the Circle. It’s an eerie sight. But for some of us who know what’s within these black plastic wraps, it is a disappointing sight. Wrapped within this black tarp is a gift to our…

Most of us love travelling. We don’t mind rustic travel when we are young, but as we get older, we are inclined to have, if not a luxurious travel experience, then at least a comfortable one, especially foreign travel. This, of course, costs more money, but I won’t give up. Over the years, I have…

Dangerous Public Works

January 14, 2023

On Tuesday, a 28-year-old woman and her two-and-half-year-old son were killed after a reinforcement structure made of iron rods for constructing a Namma Metro pillar crashed on a bike-borne family in Bengaluru.

Whether or not Rahul Gandhi’s attempt at political reinvention and rejuvenation via ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ will succeed is yet to be seen. But what can be seen right now is his bush. His thick ‘salt-n-pepper’ bushy face has made it to the news. Last month, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma made a petty comment….

COVID Year Continues?

December 31, 2022

There is much anticipation and hope for 2023. Sadly 2022, while not as bad as 2020 or 2021, has ended on a sombre note. No, not because we’ve been told “No DJ music” by the city administration but because there is news of a new COVID variant. We were promised freedom with vaccines, but Coronavirus…

Oh! Religion is at it again. The bane of our existence is now going after colours! Colours are an essential part of most religions, but claiming religious proprietary over a particular colour and attaching religious sensitivity to it is an unholy and ungodly act. Narottam Mishra, the Home Minister of Madhya Pradesh, objected to Deepika…

Clogged Judiciary

December 17, 2022

I boarded a connecting flight from Kolkata to Bengaluru. My co-passenger, a chatty elderly gentleman, said he had been visiting Bengaluru for 19 years, not because he loved the city but because of a land dispute case!  As we parted ways at the airport, I wished him luck with his case and hoped his next…

Basking in Reflected Glory

October 29, 2022

As soon as Rishi Sunak was named the new Prime Minister of England, I prepared myself for the onslaught of cringe-worthy celebrations and tweets. I wasn’t disappointed.  As expected, the Indian media ran headlines such as “Indian son rises over the empire” and “Battered Britain gets ‘desi’ big boss”, forgetting that Rishi is neither India’s…
