Marx-men & Markets-men
The art of telling a story is easy. The part where it gets difficult is when one has to tell a compelling story to keep the attention of the listeners from start to end. What comprises a good story is not rocket science. A great story is always simple. The audience of the story roots […]

Of Gods & Bhagwans
The limits of one’s understanding of the world around us are defined by the constraints of the language used. If there is no linguistic element available to understand something, whatever is being observed is, logically speaking, out of human comprehension. The ones observing the event can only know that they are observing an event, but […]

Exceptions to American Exceptionalism
Humanity has made several leaps and bounds in development & progress over time. But nothing has been as significant as the leap humanity has made that began with the Gilded age of America (1870 to 1897). The first experimental flight flew in 1903.

The Ouroboros of Efficiency & Disorder
Manifestations of an idea that border on the extreme of opposing sides can sometimes look alike; much like the Ouroboros.

Rural & Urban
India lives in its villages. Or at least, that’s what we’re told. This statement is expected to elicit a certain kind of a nostalgic feeling to go back to an Indian village.
