Can a Spider’s web stop a train (like in Spiderman 2)?

Last updated on: February 26, 2013 at 1:54 pm By Desh Kapoor

Can a spider’s web stop a subway train, say in NYC? What will it take for a spider’s web to do so? Or was the scene where Spiderman stops the train by his web just a useless fantasy? A group of students went into this question and surprisingly found out that some spiders can surely stop a train .. and have some tensile strength to spare! First, the team calculated how much four R160 New York City subway cars —... Read more

Genocidal Pilgrims and Shocking Savagery of Europeans in America’s Formative years

Last updated on: February 26, 2013 at 11:06 am By Desh Kapoor

Bernard Bailyn, over 90, is probably one of greatest American historian of the early days of this nation alive today. He has come out with a new book – The Barbarous Years: The Peopling of British North America: The Conflict of Civilizations, 1600-1675 – where he talks about those years when the Native Americans (or “Americans” as he calls them) and the Europeans clashed in genocide of unimaginable proportions. Those years which are glorified in the Thanksgiving holiday are some... Read more

Indian Govt can’t pay Hockey team’s airfare to Malaysia for Azlan Shah: Withdraws participation

Last updated on: February 26, 2013 at 6:44 am By Desh Kapoor

This is amazing nonsense from the Indian Government! The Government now says that it doesn’t have money to send the team to Malaysia for the Azlan Shah Hockey Tournament. It is a 5 time champion at the tournament. The budget for Hockey by the Government is Rs 10 crores 50 lakhs, and the cost of the trip would have been Rs 30 lakhs. So, where did the money go?? Imagine the ignominy, when even Pakistan makes it to the tournament... Read more

How a High School Basketball player helped a disabled opponent play his greatest moment!

Last updated on: February 25, 2013 at 9:51 pm By Desh Kapoor

Some moments in a game are to die for. Those moments distinguish just players from Sportsmen. This was one such moment. Mitchell Marcus is a team manager for Coronado High’s basketball team in El Paso, Texas and he has a developmental disability. He loved a basket ball since he was a kid. But could never play in a real game. In the last game of the season, his coach decided to bring him in in the last moments. No matter... Read more

Pakistan media laments India’s Win on Kishanganga Project

Last updated on: February 25, 2013 at 2:31 pm By Desh Kapoor

I really hadn’t heard about this in the Indian media. But it is very significant in the India – Pakistan relations. Even if not in view of India, but definitely from the perspective of Pakistan. This is sure to be raised in every media outlet by the extremists. The International Court of Arbitration at The Hague on Tuesday upheld India’s right to divert water from the Kishanganga hydroelectric project (KHEP).Reacting to the development, official spokesperson in the ministry of external...

Kashmir Issue: A very interesting, insightful discussion

Last updated on: February 25, 2013 at 12:52 pm By Desh Kapoor

Very few fora and still fewer analysts have ever talked of Kashmir in an intelligent way. I feel one of the very very few is Barrister Bashani. He is a Kashmiri himself from the PoK. And his knowledge of Kashmir’s history and that of Pakistan is second to none. He is well read – with insights and perspective on almost all the components and events that have shaped Pakistan and Kashmir the way it is today. That is why listening... Read more

What is Truth?

Last updated on: February 25, 2013 at 8:25 am By Desh Kapoor

The very idea of “Truth” is so restricted and incompletely understood. Truth, in real Spiritual sense, is existential in nature. In this video Sadhguru re-defines truth in existential terms, not in the words you speak but in the way you are. He explains how the essential nature of life is all-inclusive. This is the nature of truth and with absolute inclusiveness there can be no suffering. Read more

Why India raised issues about Border violations: the Pakistani panel at its ridiculous worst!

Last updated on: February 24, 2013 at 10:53 pm By Desh Kapoor

I have seen a lot of stupid anchors on Pakistani TV and totally illogical discussions. But this one takes the cake! Worse thing is I consider him to be one of the intelligent guys in Pak media! The discussion, the reasons, and the “insights” just stump you. I mean, at every new “revelation” you ask – what the heck is he smoking out there? The program starts with the presumption that whatever India is saying and raising its voice on... Read more
