Josh Hanagarne’s The World’s Strongest Librarian is a Must Read

Just finished Josh Hanagarne’s The World’s Strongest Librarian. I picked it from the Library more for it’s title than it’s content. But I should say the content is way more stronger than the title.

The book’s subtitle says ‘A Book … Continue reading Josh Hanagarne’s The World’s Strongest Librarian is a Must Read

That is exactly what the young film maker John Samuel has achieved through his 90 second micro short film ‘Allagi’.

Gauri Lankesh’s KIlling – When Free Speech has to pay a high Price

In the morning when I heard the news about Gauri Lankesh’s Killing, I was first numb and then angry and I penned something but then waited. I decided to read more responses. I read several posts and references of ‘Hindu Terror’. But in my mind I said if the Assailants were unidentified how come people call out Hindu Terror so early. Yes there is a … Continue reading Gauri Lankesh’s KIlling – When Free Speech has to pay a high Price

Bockhacker of Berlin was granted German patent DE18349 on December 22, 1881 for “Tür ohne Luftzug” or “Door without draft of air”, which used a rotating cylinder with a door which after entering, the … Continue reading The inventor of the revolving door is Kattappa
