This clip was taken from my window..!! At bright 11 AM, the street lights are on, and then we are given dose of 'electricity saving' by MSEB. Hopefully someone conveys this message to someone responsible.
My business visit to US was my maiden outside India. I am penning down a few interesting thoughts. This being the first of the two blog posts. I now know why the word fuck( -ing ) is so common in Murica! It’s the things in USA that make you use the word so often- especially for someone who is not so familiar with the settings. These are my ‘first reactions’ to random things I saw across The States (though I have lived only in one State- WA). Roads - fucking awesome Traffic - fucking disciplined Beyond imagination. Climate - fucking cold Cars - fucking huge. I mean they don’t drive cars, they drive Rams and Tanks! Toyota Fortuner dominates India's roads- but is akin to a Tata Nano in front of GMCs Volvos and Jeeps o'there! Uber - fucking delightful. We took 3 Uber rides and I was absolutely astonished by their hospitality. I am dedicating a separate article on one of the rides Lift - fucking swift By the time our office lift zapped into 11 t...

Interpolation is an addition/append made to the constitutional literacy. It means the word secular wasn’t mentioned in the constitution by the constitution framers, dated back to late 40’s. My point of argument is th...
SS: The following piece of writing is purely satirical and hypothetical. It does not resemble any person/object or situation in reality, any similarity to real life person/object should be taken as a pure co-incidence. Getting an over-head projector (OHP) in any normal college is one simple thing. Go and visit the staff room, and swap your ID card for the projector. Plug in the wires, adjust the focus and you are done. An excellent substitute for black-board notes, making lives of so many teachers across the globe easier. Not to forget the benefits of the same to the students who don’t have to burn their retinas in comprehending the caricatures, I mean diagrams, made by their teachers on the black-board. When it comes to an engineering college in MU, there is a twist in everything, right from the first day in the college. You are made to sign a self-imposed imposition; I mean the admission form of course, of ‘Imprisonment in the institution for 4 years or more for some special out-stan...
