26 May 19 The political drama is being portrayed as kind of pre-scripted, whereas a cursory glance of even the headlines reveals that the May 2019 is a message being continually interpreted at a deep personally level by all the stake holders. First off, the winner of these strode like a colossus and yet appeared […]
25 May 2019 People are frothing over why this state rejected Mr Modi at the height of his persuasive powers. They wish to know if the ungodly ideology of the Dravidian parties ( all of whom are officially atheist) was the cause, was it the Hindi phobia the Congress-DMK whipped up to target gullible voters, […]
24 May 2019 Only a fool would still await to see some sliver of wisdom from the nitty gritty of numbers, even as results are still officially not cast in stone for this Lok Sabha.

What psychologically we do not […]
19 May 2019 Let me be very clear that what ever Mr Makarand Paranjpe may have written, he does not speak for me! For a person imbued with Dharma and her nuances, for whom a life so far has been interpretation of shadows, of hues and layers, there is such a thing as a limit! […]
