https://twitter.com/swamy39/status/1333378593812955136?s=21 Stop resurrecting useless things from India’s past while the present and future of this country is precariously hanging in the balance. This is like trying to drive forward while constantly looking into the rearview mirror and blackening out the windshield. It will only end in driving the country into a ditch. The choice is…

Life and washing machines
Life and washing machines Imagine you are one of the Gods sitting on your throne in the Kingdom of Heaven watching your universe below. Do you think you will see these little creatures like human beings and animals and insects and birds all scurrying around like tiny little programmed puppets on strings, moving along in…
Open letter to President Trump!
Dear Mr. President, I believe you are paying Mr. Rudi Giuliani $20,000/- per day for just simple lying, concocting wild stories about US votes being counted in Spain and regularly making a fool of himself in the courts. Of course, I understand he is representing you and acts as your mouthpiece and the ideas are…
Akshay Kumar movie – Laxmi!
Just saw Akshay Kumar’s Laxmii movie. Do they really think that portraying transgenders in such a horrific, grotesque and frightening way is going to get them more understanding and acceptance in society? This is one of the most offensive, insulting and exploitive movies made on the Kinnar community. There is already a lot of misinformation…
Knife attack in Nice, France!
https://zeenews.india.com/world/knife-wielding-man-shouts-allahu-akbar-before-killing-three-in-nice-factcheck-on-deadly-attacks-in-france-2320962.html As long as people are uptight about their own religion, WHICHEVER religion, this is bound to happen. When some non-Indian friends make fun of certain aspects of Hinduism, I laugh with them if it is funny. If it is not funny, I ignore or correct but usually I don’t care. Hinduism does not represent…

Politics and Friendship
It is a truism that the easiest way to lose precious and longtime friends is to discuss politics with them, especially if you have even a mildly opposing viewpoint. Forget discussion, all they need to see is a post or a tweet that doesn’t align with their views and you are done for, you are…
Publisher surrenders freedom of speech!
Freedom of speech is the freedom to say anything that does not threaten or incite violence. It includes the freedom to lie and misinform and mislead by speech. Without that, freedom has no meaning. It is the right and duty of the public to criticize and in this case they have done so effectively, which…
SC scores a self-goal!
The SC is not a sacrosanct or divine body. As long as there is no threat or initiation of violence, they too can be criticised. Maybe the criticism is wrong or unfair or even biased, but that cannot be the basis for a contempt of court charge. SC judges are as human as anyone else…
Open letter to Mr. Joe Biden
Dear Mr. Biden, My great grandfather’s great grandfather’s father in law’s sister’s uncle landed as a penniless destitute immigrant in the great city of Amador City, California (area .8 square kms, population 190 today) and was given a lettuce-catsup burger by a kindhearted gentleman, which he consumed without the bread (since he was a vegetarian…
