    The reality of Bihar Election Results analysis

    While I was watching the expert analysis of Bihar Elections Results on television an old memory came to my mind. When I was a kid, every Raksha Bandhan, we used to go to our cousins’ place. Once Rakhi and other rituals were done, all the kids in the house would go to the roof and…

    Raising a child and Diwali

    Isn’t raising a child in the right way, the most difficult task in the world? Isn’t teaching him the difference between good and bad, right and wrong the most critical task? Are we witnessing falling standards, moral, ethics and integrity today in the Indian society? Hasn’t the line that demarcates right from wrong become indiscernible…

    Farm Bills 2020
