Last updated on: February 7, 2013 at 9:39 am By Desh Kapoor

This socially and behaviorally illiterate female was at Kolkata Book Fair on Wednesday. And while coming out she shouts at her guards. On Wednesday evening, while coming out from the Kolkata Book Fair, Ms Banerjee shouted at her guards, “Apnakay chapkano uchit” which in English means, “you should... Read more

Shameless Bias of Media: Rahul’s Melodramatic & Scripted Speech vs Modi’s Visionary yet Grounded Call to Youth

Last updated on: February 7, 2013 at 7:03 am By Desh Kapoor

To know the bias and the shallowness of the mainstream media, this is a good comparison. Rahul Gandhi is a nincompoop with a silver spoon and his speech that day – where he brought up the “Power is Poison” statement – was scripted and made up. It was easy to know. On the other hand, Modi spoke from his own experience and work he has done. Who is a leader and who is not is pretty obvious when you see... Read more

The Joy of Silence

Last updated on: February 7, 2013 at 12:06 am By Desh Kapoor

A talk about silence? — seems to be difficult, doesn’t it? Let us have a look how Osho manages. — “The moon reflected in the water is not the real moon, but still it has tremendous beauty; and if the waters of your mind are silent, then the moon reflected in those waters is exactly the same.” Read more

Reactions on Rajdeep Sardesai’s program on Modi’s speech at SRCC: shallow, rhetorical and lacking in substance

Last updated on: February 6, 2013 at 11:29 pm By Desh Kapoor

This is the program on Modi’s speech at SRCC. It includes views of many youth, Aakar Patel (a Journalist), a Muslim professor from Jamia Milia, and Tania – a girl who rattled Mamata Bannerjee with a question. Let us look at some of the material discussed: Modi was planted by RSS as the Chief Minister in Gujarat, even though he didn’t have any experience and so his elevation is no different from Rahul Gandhi’s. (Aakar Patel): First, this journo talks... Read more

Masochist Neighbor: Pakistan hands over Management of Gwadar Port to China

Last updated on: February 6, 2013 at 1:05 pm By Desh Kapoor

IN our neighborhood, an important event just occurred. China has taken over the Pakistani port at Gwadar.

“Wait for me”: Looking for a Wandering Soul

Last updated on: February 6, 2013 at 12:28 pm By Desh Kapoor

Just 3 minutes film but it says a lot. A lot about life’s journey, a soul’s longing, and its understanding of its goal (success) albeit unarticulated. Transformational in its own way. The Story In 1985, a young man from a well-to-do family took a bicycle trip across southern Europe, wandered into Bangladesh, traveled through India, and vanished while hiking in the rugged foothills of the Himalayas. He was never seen or heard from again. “Wait For Me” is the story... Read more

Last updated on: February 6, 2013 at 10:51 am By Desh Kapoor
