Quizzing

There was a time when I used to love quizzes. I used to answer the questions posed at me and I took pride in answering them. Soon I realized that I had decent knowledge about India but when it comes to world, I am as good as anyone. I did participate in few quizzes in school and won as well (not necessarily because of my contribution). Nevertheless, I came to college and I actively participated in quizzes. Oh I know some answers, I helped my team get some score but every time I did not clear the preliminary round. It was sad but I did not lose hope. I persevered for a complete one year before realizing it was futile. I had to either get a partner whose knowledge complements me (world, sports, entertainment) or I had to raise my comfort level in the weaker fields. Unfortunately, I failed in both and lost interest in quizzes. Despite this, I did seldom frequent quizzes. After all these years when it's almost time to say goodbye to college, something unbelievable happened. ...

Welcome 2009

A very happy and prosperous new year to all. With a new year, it is a time for resolutions and changes. Only time will tell how many of these are kept, it has been a conventional exercise. Though everyone wants to lead a better and more satisfying life, taste more success and get rid of some bad old habits, not everyone is able to free self from the cobwebs that have settled around him/her. Does everyone actually needs to go through this overhaul or it is just another attempt of aping those self-styled perfectionists. Though the issue is surely debatable, its not wise to go discussing it threadbare at this moment. 2008 would remain scratched in the memories of Indians for long. After all, a lot of unusual things happened. While the terrorists who bombed stealthily the arteries of India came out full frontal exposing how vulnerable aam aadmi is, India progressed on other fronts like launching chandrayaan or winning 3 medals in Olympics. The recession which started from US had its side-e...

Confidence (e)motion

Warning The views expressed are writer's own and may have nothing to do with readers' views. All allegations and complaints are therefore strictly objectionable. Perhaps the whole world was looking at Indian parliament, which was set to decide the fate of UPA led government. The discussion on confidence motion brought in by Prime Minister on issue of Nuclear Deal with US saw some of the lowest moments in Indian politics. Firstly, why was the confidence motion brought in ? The Left parties under the leadership of Prakash Karat withdrew support from the government labeling nuclear deal as a blow to country's independent foreign policy. People have clearly seen the real face of Hippocratic leftists. Their ideology is itself questionable. They have supported the government all through and opposed all its moves at the same time. When the inflation grew at close to 12%, these people didn't withdraw support. When the farmers of Vidarbha were creating suicides, they didn'...
