Thanjavur Balasaraswati (1918 – 1984) – a dancer and a musician, a legend who combined the traditions of the past with a futuristic vision… to give bharatnatyam its rightful position in the world of arts. I have reviewed this book on video too and I’m sure you’d all want to see that before you go...
‘Hi there… can we talk?’ I looked around and was taken aback to find a fiery grilled chicken piece waving frantically at me. ‘You?’ I asked with incredulity clearly infiltrating my voice, posture, and even expression. This was surely one of those hard-to-believe moments that I had, as yet, only read in novels. A conversation,...
Bloggers know what it means to copy. Bloggers know how easy it is to copy. Bloggers know how to copy and then escape. Bloggers can copy and pretend to be original. All the sentences written so far aren’t supposed to be there only to shock or to attract. They are there to emphasise a very...
SCAM. Yes, this is what I wanted to call this book. No, not because there is some writing scam that I’m trying to expose, but because there are four key words that weave this novel by P A Krishnan. The acronym SCAM, in this context, means: SENSUAL | CORRUPTION | ASSAM | MILITANCY. Though this...

I watched keenly as my wife poured a careful measure of Surf excelmatic in the protruding chamber of the washing machine, close it, put in a select number of clothes, firmly shut the front door and then do some magical fiddling of the auto controls… and that’s it… she beckoned me that we were now...
Don’t worry, I am not going to quote any psychologist here in this article telling you that excessive shopping is a result of stress or anger or some sort of a mismanaged life. I also don’t intend to go on and on and on about some remote but existing statistics on a comparison between online...
It was one of those low-pressure days at the office. A warm sun asked its rays to gently shuffle in through the closed window panes hoping this might help the people inside deal with the biting December cold of Delhi. I was sitting with the visiting team from a friendly daily who wanted some confirmation...
There is no myth that I have encountered anywhere or any time about doves flying in to rescue balding heads but yes, hair has certainly always been a major obsession with most of humanity. The title of this article is a pun and the dove held high is a symbol of hair care that civilization...

Revolution. This is more than a mere buzz-word today. This word has evolved into an attitude, a way of life, a symbol of independence, and something that we all want to be associated with… Revolutions are there in technology as well.
