Last updated on: February 28, 2013 at 11:44 pm By Desh Kapoor

Yet another budget has come out. This time by P. Chidambaram. I still remember people rushing home and sitting very meaningfully in front of the TV to see the budget being presented.

Why celebrate a beast like Christopher Columbus?

Last updated on: February 27, 2013 at 10:53 pm By Desh Kapoor

There are two holidays in the US, which are based on myths and genocidal suffering of a very large population of humanity: Thanksgiving and Columbus Day. Columbus was anything but a normal human.
