Why Secularism/Anti-Corruption Won’t Feed Me And My Family OR Why I’m Voting For Narendra Modi
There’s a bit of a back-story, so please bear with me. I think the journey (yes, I’d call it that) started on the New Year’s eve in 2008 (as in end of 2007, did I get the usage of New Year’s eve right?) with that long and highly charged up discussions with Pole & Seth.

My Top Bollywood Songs Of 2010
Dooriyan Bhi Hai Zaroori from Break Ke Baad is one of my favourite songs from 2010. It appears like I took the line more seriously than required and that perhaps explains the irregularity in posting on this blog. I definitely wish be more regular in blogging in the coming days. Well, there’s another song for Continue reading
