I have been dreaming of going back to my roots – my village and back To Hyderabad – on a bicycle for a long time. It is my bicycle yatra – pilgrimage. As I cycled for two days – morning 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, people looked at me as if they were seeing an […]

DEATH OF LORD GANESH!
Entire night I was having disturbed sleep. Please do not give reasons as to why I had a disturbed sleep. Like me there are many who are either unable to sleep or having a disturbed sleep. Till the next Tuesday i.e., 17th Sep 2024, this situation persists. We are losing sleep due to few idiots. […]
A MIRAGE CALLED TAX
We do not know ourselves that we believe in mirages. Tax is a mirage. When a mirage / an illusion becomes reality, then tax is welfare! Recently I was reading in the press, a prominent news. It was a head line in almost all newspapers across India. There was pride, satisfaction and the greatest sense […]
SWACHH BHARAT PLEDGE
I do not think the present Swachh Bharat Pledge is effective. It feels that it was authored by an inexperienced person. I made an effort to rewrite it so that swachhta becomes a way of life for all Indians. Any suggestions for improvement are welcome. SWACHH BHARAT PLEDGE as is now:https://swachhbharat.mygov.in/basic-page/take-pledge SWACHH BHARAT PLEDGE as […]
I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW
Thoughtless speech leads to many problems. Thoughtful speech creates a better world. Many of us have not learned how to speak. We have misunderstood the ‘Freedom of Speech’! If Socrates’ Triple Filter Test is taught to children the world would be totally different. I can say with reasonable confidence that the following anecdote does not […]

Welfare or ill fare? When something is free, understand that we will end up paying a big […]
The Real Terrorists
We the Hindus wrongly accuse and suspect the followers of Muslim faith to be radical. We concluded that being a Muslim is equivalent to being a terrorist. Are Muslims radical? Are they terrorists? Let me examine in Indian context. 30 th January 1948 is the day when the Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated by a Hindu […]
Har Dil Tiranga
I do not like the concept of ‘Har Ghar Tiranga‘. Nor do I like the concept of 75 years of independence ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’. Both in my view are meaningless. 75 years ago, we got Azadi. That chapter is over. There is no point in harping about the ‘sacrifices’ made! All those people who […]
On Contradictions
Today for example I say “I like color Red” and tomorrow if I say ‘I like color Blue’, people will pounce on me to declare that I am self – contradicting fool! The unwritten inviolable rule of the society is that we cannot contradict ourselves. In fact, according to the society, we cannot have contradictory […]
