From Bhiwani To Silicon Valley – Part 2

Last updated on: October 5, 2012 at 4:14 pm By Andrew Harvey

After a mild visa hustle, I finally leave for USA tomorrow on an Airbus. This post is a feeble attempt to pen down all the complex things happening in my life and my brain since I decided to go to US. During those months when mom was trying to pack for me all things ‘I’ – from a pressure cooker to packets of Indian spices (some whose names I hadn’t heard) to a special Ayurvedic hair oil which I can’t...

Last updated on: September 29, 2012 at 10:24 pm By Desh Kapoor

India is situation is interesting and plight incomparable. Here are three stats that portray India’s dichotomy: Three Indian states – Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal – have a combined population of 421 million of “poor” people using the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), which measures a range of “deprivations” at household level. This was developed and applied by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative with UNDP support. This number is more than that in the 26 poorest African nations combined (410 million). So, the... Read more

100 million will die and cuts in GDPs by 2030 due to Climate Change

Last updated on: September 25, 2012 at 11:56 pm By Desh Kapoor

It is important to know where we are headed with the climate change issue. I am personally convinced that it is a disaster unfolding. Now, there are many who keep debating the climate change vs climate cycles theories but such are useless discussions. There is enough evidence available now to suggest that higher population and irresponsible consumption and industrialization is causing and will continue to cause immense harm to the planet. Here are some interesting observations from this article on... Read more

Barfi: Ranbir Kapoor makes you want to fall in love again!

Last updated on: September 22, 2012 at 12:21 am By Desh Kapoor

Bollywood’s Kapoor family has provided some of the finest Cinematic talents to the Indian film industry. In Prithviraj Kapoor, Raj Kapoor, Shashi Kapoor and even Rishi Kapoor – some of the finest actors seen on Indian screen. Shammi Kapoor wasn’t a great actor but a charming personality that was unique in his own right. Despite all that, or probably because of all that one has seen from the Kapoor family, I could have never prepared myself for someone as talented... Read more

Guilt is socially cultivated emotion, a poison directed towards yourself

Last updated on: November 1, 2022 at 3:48 pm By Desh Kapoor

“Guilt is socially cultivated emotion, a poison directed towards yourself.” – Sadhguru Guilt assumes a certain assumption of one’s ownself. A sense of ego. “This is how I should be and not that way”. For a burkha-clad lady, sitting in bikini in front of strangers on a beach will make her full of guilt. While for another woman, that would make her feel good (if she had kept her body well as well!) But this guilt is not something that... Read more

Why India should never quit Siachen Glacier

Last updated on: September 19, 2012 at 10:29 pm By Desh Kapoor

There are many folks in India who get all mushy mushy when Pakistan raises the “Peace” card and starts negotiating Siachen. One place that they lost and its strategic. The way the argument is cloaked is always on the basis of high human principles – like lives being lost and the climate change. Those are true. But that are some other damning truths as well. Thankfully, the Indian Army Chief General Bikram Singh has spoken on why we cannot let... Read more

Do Dogs Dream? What do they Dream About?

Last updated on: September 17, 2012 at 12:32 pm By Desh Kapoor

Every day I interact with my pet dog Bella, I learn something new. I have shared here, how she loves to come and sit/lie near me when I am doing my morning meditation and also how she likes to sleep in the area where the meditation is done. Apparently, she can relate to the energy that has been created there. I have also seen her snore and fart as well as sneeze just like we humans do. Sometimes, she also... Read more

Was Osama Operation a Payback by India for 26/11?

Last updated on: September 11, 2012 at 3:41 pm By Desh Kapoor

In a very influential online magazine, there is an interesting article on the Operation Neptune Spear – where the US Navy Seals killed Osama Bin Laden. This is what the article says: The fourteenth page of images in No Easy Day contains a map showing the routes taken by the two flights of helicopters: the Black Hawks taking the assaulters to Abbottabad, and the MH-47 Chinooks carrying a quick reaction force (QRF) and forward area refueling point (FARP) team.
