Australia is not known for their creative content. But here two shows that you must must watch. Operation Buffalo. The wrong kind of black Operation Buffalo has a plot that stuns you right from the opening scene. And, the show never lets up. I am not divulging any details. The wrong kind of black gave me goosebumps and a sleepless night. Based on a true story, this short series touches every gland that you have in your body. PS:- There is so much brilliant content…Continue Reading “The wrong kind of black – Indian version coming when?”
We take a month to plan a webinar. Anandomela at ROOH took less than 2 weeks. The religious will say because it was dedicated to maa, it had to happen. I am not religious. So, I will give it to Samrat for thinking of something this bold in such tough times. He was thinking of a food fest when restaurants are struggling to fill regular tables. I didn’t know him before this event and I am wondering how. Next, one has to mention the zeal…Continue Reading “Anandomela at ROOH”
Okay. One does not have to point at the other side of everything. But I feel compelled to, so will try not to change. India is filled with great people. Baba cries on camera. There are folks at his shop and Zomato adds them and my LinkedIn is full of it etc etc. India is kind, generous, jannat. A fruit sellers fruits are looted. Someone floats his account number. Money flows like water. When we were collecting groceries for Delhi riot victims, many did contribute….Continue Reading “Baba Ka dhaba and drone charity in times of apathy”
We have put enough hours between 9:00 a.m. and now, and I had my breakfast and caffeine fix just to make sure that I am not hyperventilating out of hunger or caffeine withdrawal, so let me put this out there – My biggest problem with these 09:00 a.m./08:00 p.m. tamashas is the audacity with which the government and the PM treats all of us citizens like a bunch of imbeciles! They don’t think we deserve transparency about data and preparedness, they don’t think we need…Continue Reading “Burn the apathy. Not candles”
Rightism everywhere empowers men. Puts them in the front, gives them weapons and power, protects them when they rape and creates a culture where women are property without rights. Same goes for dalits, blacks, muslims, homosexuals etc etc. In India, RSS has no membership for women. They give arms. They give them a war cry – Jai Shri Ram. Now, the same men attack girls in a college and molest and masturbate while they chant a religious chant. Because, over last two months, it is…Continue Reading “Gargi college attack is a typical rightism symptom”
The Delhi elections are over. The exit polls predict that AAP is set to win. And liberals are disdainfully admitting that they voted Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP despite their disappointment in him and his party! Disappointment in what? That AAP fought the elections only on issues of development. That they did not win fighting fascism. They made statements against fascism but did not come out on the streets. They voted against CAA in the Parliament and fulfilled their parliamentary duty but did not come to Shaheen…Continue Reading “Why do liberals expect the world from AAP but will never credit them”
“When Allah created the world, he created mountains to weigh the world down so that it wouldn’t fly away. Just like one puts down heavy pegs at the corners of tents to prevent them from flying away”, this was the last story that Rahmatullah Sahab told us before we left the Paigah Tombs. A story he recounted from the holy Quran to explain to us the beauty of the Deccans. The moment we walked into the Paigah Tomb complex, we were greeted with the sight…Continue Reading “Siwara – A mortar that bonds at Paigah Tomb Complex”
