Last updated on: March 12, 2012 at 3:28 pm By Desh Kapoor

Sri Sri Ravishankar is making his second trip to Pakistan today via the Attari border. Amongst other things, on this 3 day visit, he will also be innaugurating an Art of Living center in Islamabad.

Why Greg Chappell is horribly wrong about Indian Culture!

Last updated on: March 12, 2012 at 5:06 am By Desh Kapoor

Greg Chappell, the former Australian cricket captain and the ex-Indian coach made some stinging remarks against Indian culture and Indians. As per him, Indians just cannot be leaders. “The (Indian) culture is very different, it’s not a team culture. They lack leaders in the team because they are not trained to be leaders. From an early age, their parents make all the decisions, their schoolteachers make their decisions, their cricket coaches make the decisions,” Chappell said. “The culture of India... Read more

The Only Temple Left in Afghanistan

Last updated on: March 10, 2012 at 2:03 pm By Desh Kapoor

A great deal is made by Muslims about the discrimination they face in non-Muslim majority countries, say India or US. But none of them compares that to the complete annihilation of others done with a vengeance in the Muslim majority countries. The stories in Bangladesh and Pakistan are very similar in that such a large percentage of the Hindus and Sikhs were reduced to almost nothing. Afghanistan is worse. The Taliban rule left hardly any Hindu or Sikh presence. Amitav Ghosh... Read more

Bella enters my life

Last updated on: March 9, 2012 at 4:49 am By Desh Kapoor

Recently we got a dog. Her name is Bella. Actually, my daughter wanted one for her birthday and was adamant that the new pet be from the Animal Shelter. We made our first trip to the SPCA shelter but couldn’t make up our mind. We again went back the second day and had almost given up, when we thought of looking again in the “Big Dog” section. During that walk, we came across this Lab and Retriever cross named “Bella... Read more

Infographic of the Day: International Women’s Day

Last updated on: March 9, 2012 at 3:24 am By Desh Kapoor

Today is International Women’s Day. While many use this day to wish women, but the real intent of instituting this day was to push for Gender Equality. Even today, most women do not get the same level of salary as their male co-workers get, even in the US! In many other countries – the less developed ones – things can get even worse. Most of the rural women work on farms for far less money than men do. Even though... Read more
