Follow your Childhood Dreams: Dr. Randy Pausch“We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.”
--Randy Pausch

There are some things so powerful that they change the very way you look at life. This has been mine. And by the time this was done, my eyes were numb. Let me give you a brief introduction to the Last lecture by Dr. Randy Pausch.

1 step to make this world a better place and free it from religious hatred

Believe in God; Reject ReligionGod did not create religion. Religion is certainly not a way to reach god. I had talked about this at length in a previous post of mine called Yeah, Religion is the Opium of People so, I’ll not start about it here.

We don’t need religions. Religions are like fake touts who promise us a divine life but spread nothing more than hatred. Religions shouldn’t exist… Cool, that’s a good idea but how can we realize this vision? I have always tried to talk about the change that each of us can make to the world and how to go about it. And today we are going to find a way to solve religions.

Epic Browser: Starting a culture of Innovation in India

Epic: the Indian BrowserEpic Browser! It’s highly unlikely that you haven’t heard the name before. The hype surrounding it has been huge with some even calling it the ‘national browser’! Well, there still might be some lost souls who don’t know what I am talking about. So here is a brief introduction

Epic browser is the first ever web browser customized for India and is built by a Bengaluru ( though Bangalore sounded much better. Don’t you think? but ….. ) based company called Hidden Reflex.

Is Delhi ashamed of itself? CWG 2010. It’s fishy

Delhi's CWG Mascot: SheraWhat is more important; what are you in your own eyes or how the world looks at you? I agree that both are important but what’s MORE important. I believe that it is how YOU look at yourself that matters more. But how does Delhi look at itself? A city of the new millennia or the city of slums. I dunno. I would like to believe that my city is optimistic and that it’s the next big thing but somehow, something doesn’t seem right with the way Delhi is changing itself; especially for the CWG 2010.



Why are we ‘giving back’ beggars to UP and Bihar? Why are we rebuilding the roads only around the games venue? Why are only the markets close to the games venues being revamped? Or why are only the roads to be used by the athletes get streetscaped?



Don’t get me wrong. I am not against improving the city. But my question is, who is this development for? The developments are plastic and mainly only for a small section of Delhi and that too at the cost of the other section. For instance, There were power cuts in Delhi in Delhi in peak summer, and not coz there was shortage of power.


Did we elect this government to create an illusion of progress in front of the international media?
