Our Curse: May You Never Sleep Twice on The Same Bed!
You are the notorious traitor that ever came to office and a cannibalistic monster, having eaten thousands of innocent Indians live. You have an Indian face, but a Rakshasa at heart with a fat body, the color of soot, with a large tongue, and a terrible stench. You chose gambling, liquor, prostitution, slaughter, gold and […]

Flat No: D 313 Pragati Vihar
Pragati Vihar – I am sure looking at the title the reader may think, Wow! It’s like a cinema title – Ghar No. 750; Gaadi No. 412. It’s not a movie title. In the summer, approximately the month of May, 1983, I completed Intermediate examination (+2) from the AP Residential Junior College, Nagarjuna Sagar, Krishna […]
The 4 Walls of Fear
Human beings lived and are living in fear. This fear is injected by the parents and the society. The human mind is free. Rabindranath Tagore said ‘Where the mind is free, where the head is held high’. Forget the mind and the head, we can’t even think freely! Our mind is constrained…4 walls are built; […]
Imported Democracy
I belong to the old school. In an age where everyone reads newspapers on their mobile phones i.e., online, I prefer to read the physical one. Over a period of time this has become a habit. Time now, I should get rid of this habit. The daily newspapers invariably consist news of rape, murder, cheating, […]
ETERNITY IS MY TIME
Let me talk first of myself. I keep looking at the watch…checking mobile for messages & WhatsApp updates…and when I do not find anything new, I ask in frustration – How long does it take? I become impatient. I seek instant gratification! The world is moving at such a fast pace – I fell I […]
“In the beginning was the Word.”
The first sentence of the Bible – “In the beginning there was word”. I checked it again this morning. And the biblical story of creation goes “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”. The God has created the world. He created the seas, He created […]
Why do Indians hate to pay Taxes?
The word tax has only negative connotation in India. Hence, neither the word ‘tax payer’ nor the word ‘tax’ can be viewed positively. Tax is synonymous for oppression, looting, exploitation, legalized robbery and these descriptions are unending. Prior to independence, the leaders of the Indian National Movement, described taxes as a way of keeping Indians […]
The Manchester Mummy
Fear of being buried alive was common in the 18th and 19th centuries. Due to this concern the casket companies developed innovative coffins offering a means of signaling for help if they were buried alive. In mid-1700s Hannah Beswick, a wealthy English woman, convinced her physician, Dr. Thomas White, not to bury her when she died – just in […]
