    The Cash Nexus: Criminals and Politics

    Almost every person who disproves demonetization comes with one of the two arguments: Black money is stashed in Swiss Banks and is not in India. Gathering information on this lead me to write Modi gov’s surgical strike(s) on Black Money Whatever black money is in India, is not in the form of cash. This is the…

    Your Karma awaits you!!!

    Indeed Mr. Modi’s karma awaits him. And so does Mr. Rahul Gandhi’s and mine and yours and every one else’s. Maybe Rahul Gandhi is just overwhelmed by the “laws of Karma”. He might have just come across this Hindu laws during this festival of elections which Indians have been not only aware of but also…

    Mumbai’s Black Friday to Lanka’s Ester Sunday: The Appeasement Journey

    People had been living and enjoying a decade of peace and suddenly one fine Sunday, they wake up to the horror of less than a dozen serial blasts. More than 250 ceased to exist, more than 500 might not live like the day before and all of their families might never overcome the trauma. Just…

    Congress’ loathing of social media & the strategy to win 2019!!!

    For the entire last year, I kept thinking only one thing: What is Congress’ strategy to win 2019? I could see BJP’s plan to win the election. They have been highlighting their good governance model. I am not at all validating if what they say is true or not. My point is that they had…

    Farmers’ woes Part 1: Irrigation and Transportation

    The place was humongous. The ground was uneven, trees and plants were planted randomly. Since, it was a full moon, it was not completely dark.
