Varanasi, oldest continuously inhabited city in the world: a Documentary

Last updated on: December 15, 2012 at 5:50 pm By Desh Kapoor

This is a beautiful documentary on Varanasi by two New Yorkers. I think they have done an excellent work and in many ways I admire their commitment to what they love doing! Varanasi, India: “Beyond” from Cale Glendening on Vimeo. Varanasi is the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world! And it has been known as a place where, if someone ever died, would get liberated. Some who go there say that the act of just visiting the Ghat where... Read more

This is what the website says: Through media reports, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, a nonprofit lobbying group, has compiled a list of 431 shootings with more than one victim since 2005.

Pakistani Media and its perception of “Indian Media’s Onslaught”

Last updated on: December 14, 2012 at 2:59 pm By Desh Kapoor

This, as we discussed earlier, is a very common topic on the Pakistani channels. And, it is interesting to see the views of the Pakistani media people ABOUT the media and its showing. I was kind of intrigued – not entirely shocked though (I expect a lot of things from Pakistani “intelligentsia” having listened to their media) – to hear this “senior journalist” that “Music and Dance is against Pakistan’s culture”. In fact, he says these were part of “Brothels”... Read more

Chanakya on role of Ashram in revolt against corrupt Rulers

Last updated on: December 14, 2012 at 12:08 pm By Desh Kapoor

The objection of monks taking up a role in Nation’s politics is useless. And this lecture by Chanakya brings out that clearly. Since a teacher, a Guru is also part of the society and nation, he has complete right and reason to stand up to a corrupt ruler. This is especially significant in view of the remarks against Swami Ramdev when he started his fight against corruption! Read more

Impact of Magazines going Digital: “The Last King of Print”

Last updated on: December 14, 2012 at 10:58 am By Desh Kapoor

Interesting impact of Magazines going digital – specially Newsweek (now, Daily Beast) “I don’t actually go to newsstands anymore,” said Tina Brown, the editor in chief of Newsweek/The Daily Beast, a few days after she announced last week that Newsweek would become an all-digital publication and terminate its 79-year run in print by the end of 2012. But while Brown insists that she prefers reading on her Kindle when traveling and she sees “everybody reading screens,” there are still places in the world... Read more

Today is Shailendra’s Death Anniversary. And it also happens to be Raj Kapoor’s Birth Anniversary! Dedicating this song to BOTH of them, which happens to be one of my all-time favorites! Shailendra (August 30, 1923 – December 14, 1966) was born Shankardas Kesarilal.

Now, why the heck did Google make iPhone the Best Smartphone on Planet by releasing the Maps??

Last updated on: December 14, 2012 at 9:14 am By Desh Kapoor

We all know that Google Maps are back on iPhone. With a bang. Here is the issue. Google just bought Motorola to get a footprint in the mobile phones market. It has Android as its spearhead OS. Google’s direct competitor is Apple and iPhone. The main drawback with iPhone was its lack of useful Maps application. Then, WHY the heck did Google plug that gap in the iPhone and make it arguably the World’s BEST Smartphone? Masochism? Naah. Smart focused... Read more

Last updated on: December 14, 2012 at 8:59 am By Desh Kapoor

We all know that. And a major part of India’s surge in computing world is due to these pirated things. Good or bad, I am not sure. But it was necessary for India’s middle and low income class to help it bridge the gap. As an Indian and knowing India’s history – I would say that every society does what is right for itself. And sometimes, another group or country’s people get impacted. There was a time when India was... Read more
