Re: Cricket

Instead of celebrating not just a massive series win (and conversely having avoided a massive series routs that are more used to), folks are breast beating.

Well done VK. Time for my rant now: Let MSD retire gracefully and allow Saha, Pant, or even Karthik to take the stage until the WC.

This time I took a SW munna with me to a very large Japani OEM's HQ. After watching him silently take in the drab HQ building with equally drab rooms, corridors and no Silly-con valley type luxuries, I asked him if he wanted to move here - the look of utter horror on the Silly-con valley munna's fa...

Re: Nukkad

Chetak saar, who said there are overhead lines in Mumbai? However, there are cables and wires running across several roads. In any case, DDs were pulled out due to maintenance/wear and tear issues. They would have been useful in places like Bangalore if we didn't have wires running overhead or low u...

Re: Nukkad

Don't see any advantage of having double decker stacking. It pushes up CoG, wont have ground clearance where you have electrical lines overhead. For the road area covered, you can carry nearly twice the load. Electrical lines cannot be laid that low. Besides, not all routes will have such buses. Mu...

This looks like a great lineup when Kohli is back. Karthik sadly will be out, as will Rahane. Happy to see Shreyas bear true to his promise (if anything, he looked so comfortable that it appeared he got casual with his approach after the initial nervousness.) NoHit? HitMan... This was a revelation. ...

Re: Nukkad

Gus, my point is that these services should improve first for Indian citizens and then for others. OCI etc is all fine, but the focus should remain on simple services like getting a gas connection, new electric meter, local permits for construction, property taxes payment, etc. improve for citizens ...

This forum has Christian (and hopefully, Muslim) members. Please share your candid opinion. Over the last year or two, my WhatsApp feed seems to show a clear trend.

I'm happy they're doing a good job for the citizens of the US who spend good money visiting their country of origin. In terms of tourism, yes, it makes sense for them to promote the nation but really, PIOs are not in the top ten investors in India. We need all PIOs to retain their links for cultural...

Re: Love & Marriage Nukkad

Lust is all. Lust drives the species. Lust is what caused us to split into more cells.

When love is spent, lust is all that glitters and glimmers.
Much like the swift passing vision of an oasis for weary travelers trudging through this dreary world.
