Tamilnadu has been swept by youth force that is battling to save the tradition of Jallikattu, involving bulls. Enough has been already conveyed to create awareness about saving the tradition, and in turn, our bulls. There are already millions of supporters demanding the supreme court to revoke the ban on Jallikattu, and also forcing the…
How an accident in 1968 impacted me in 2015
HOW WAS POST-IT INVENTED? Most of us (including me until 3 months back) wouldn’t know that invention of ‘post-it notes’ – the now famously called sticky notes – was an accident. The engineer of 3M, Mr. Silver’s idea was to invent a glue that sticks strongly to any surface. However, what he came up with…
Very many, but that’s when it gets interesting
Three months since I have landed in Dublin, Ireland for pursuing Master’s in Computer Science, the sojourn has been a nascent, sweet stint so far. It is hardly surprising that the students’ population is dominated by many Indians and Chinese apart from the Irish peeps. A Master’s course is a more fascinating experience than any…
It is a peaceful night and I do not know what to write
I check my mobile – it is twelve in the midnight. We are observing a power cut for close to three hours now. A near pin drop silence, barring some clanging sounds of iron gates and occasional shrilling of babies finding this humid air-less night hard to endure. There is a ubiquitous awareness of tonight…

They are legends for a reason
I had the fortune of seeing two soul-stirring movies this week. First one was Invictus, a 2009 movie on the legendary Nelson Mandela directed by Clint Eastwood starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon among many. The plot is: “Nelson Mandela, in his first term as the South African President, initiates a unique venture to unite the apartheid-torn…

Highlights 2015 – Educative year.
As I am happily diagnosed with the mania of extracting something to learn from everything possible (succeed at some and falter at most), 2015 has been nothing short of a humongous victory in that regard. The year comes to an end and here I am, giving us all some of the highlights of the events (14,…
You just cannot stop learning!
It’s such a big truth, learning never stops. “Known is a drop, unknown is an ocean”; what a gem of a quote. Someone somewhere somehow someday sowed the seed of learning something from even nothing and I am indebted to that unknown hero, for I feel blessed to have acquired the skill at the right…
