(his brother was on the field). with some reporters blood in him he even told the name of the dead man after talking with a... more...

‘God’s Own Country’
The tourism promotion people of Kerala use the catch phrase “God’s Own Country” in their advertisements to describe the state in advertisements. And some Malayalees too use it with a sort of pseudo-pride.  How much justifiable is the term? Well, greenery and the water veins one finds all over the state--at least during the monsoon--make it attracti... more...

Appearances and reality
I would like to share one of my recent experiences. I have been working in an organisation for the last five years. Recently I got a transfer and I was with new colleagues. The chap sitting next to me looked very strange. He had queer ways and appeared to be curt with most people although he was friendly with me. We had been together for six months... more...

How do we decide when it is time to let go? How do we know whether to hold on or move ahead? I see people all around me. Too scared to leave, too confused to stay. Trying to find answers to questions that are meaningless. Trying to reach out to people who don't care about them.Waiting for answers that will never come. And in the process cutting the...  more...

BEING 96K IN THE TIM,ES OF PDA
BEING 96K IN THE TIMES OF PDASundays were working days when I was working as Sub editor/Reporter. It was Sunday, around 7 p.m. I was going towards Elphinston station with my 96k colleague. What's this 96k? you might wonder. 'Shahannav Kulhi = 96K' is the short form for the high caste in Maharashtrian Kshatriya community. What's unique about 96K is ...  more...

Law protecting the Elderly
A society is known by the way it treats the helpless. As I glanced through today's edition of the Hindustan Times, this piece of news caught my attention. In the monsoon session of the Parliament there are plans to introduce a Bill protecting the rights of the Elderly. Wow! I am sure a much awaited Bill. The law would be applicable throughout the c...  more...

no roses, no chocolates
She rushes to the loo and looks in the mirror. Am I looking exhausted and awful? Never mind… Looks have never bothered me, and moreover, I can't change the way I look. Take me as I am, that's what she always believed in. Whether it was her career or her personal life, she always held a very no-nonsense approach to life. She straightens her green sa...  more...

Something About Artistic Freedom
Something About Artistic FreedomLast week I happened to watch a TV show on artistic freedom debating M.F. Hussein’s portrayal of Goddess Saraswathy as nude. As we all know it was debated enough and dismissed a few months ago and I was a bit surprised how it surfaced again as a hot topic. But controversy always sells! Since the heat and dust over th...  more...

Pride
Another anecdote from the collection of J. Maurus.It was an insult. George Bernard Shaw looked again. Yes, the letter was addressed to a George Bernard Shawm. In a beard-tossing fury,  he roared to his wife that his correspondent could not even spell the name of the world's greatest man. Moreover, fumed GBS, there was no such word as 'shawm.'Mrs. S...  more...
