Today, Here, Now……
Where in the world
Should one be searching for peace
Which table today
Should one play to win the game
When can one be
Quite and still exist
And when will all the dices
Fall just right
Stronger one should grow
Not outside but Inside
Compassionate one should be
Not just inside but truly outside
63rd Independence Day – I owe them all
A midnight sixty three years ago
We walked our baby steps FREELY
Now reaching atop the global commerce
A billion people celebrate India
A pious soul in a loin cloth
Taught the world Nonviolence
A World leader par excellence
laid foundation for a battered nation
And an iron man by his side
secured the nation state by state
Can low Twitter Following Make business sense?
The Answer is Yes…..
More twitter followers need not mean more Popular, though many wish to think the other way. We are not talking about celebrities, but the typical you and me who are known only to a few of our friends and their friends and now may be to a few hundreds, thanks to the arrival of the Social Media.
If you have thousands of followers and a 5% of the same number as the ones you are following, you are kind of popular. If you have thousands of almost equal number of followers and following, you are just shaking hands with a lot of folks without looking at their faces.

Ours is what we should be calling the Floating Generation. Today as I was chatting with my very close friend Iqbal Mohammed, I told him something that stuck on with me.

When I say life is scattered I … Continue reading The Scattered life of a Floating Generation

Bacha Bazi – Innocence Exploited and Abandoned
I first came to know about this illegal, horrid and absolutely criminal practice when it was mentioned in Khalid Hossieni’s “The Kite Runner” where Amir returns to Afghanistan to find his friend Hassan’s son sold and kept captive to feed the pervert imaginations of Afghan warlords in the Taliban regime. My initial thought was that this was just a one kind of incident and might … Continue reading Bacha Bazi – Innocence Exploited and Abandoned
