Why I walked out of an Excellent Ramlila show last weekend

Last updated on: November 7, 2012 at 2:44 pm By Desh Kapoor

Last weekend, I went to see this Ramlila being enacted by the local group. They are all busy professionals in their daily lives and had – with love and sincerity – given so much of their lives in the last 10 months or so to stage the show. It was beautiful although there were some hiccups and directorial inefficiencies. But what they were attempting, given what they had with them in terms of time and resources – their effort was...

America has CHANGED!

Last updated on: November 6, 2012 at 10:52 pm By Desh Kapoor

President Barack Obama has won the US Presidency for the second time. While some would argue about the campaigns and the “Ground games” and the ads brought out etc, my focus is on how the basic constituencies have changed for the country. This election was won by Obama because of two factors: Hispanics and Blacks. These two demographics voted overwhelmingly for him. In some cases, more than in 2008. And this is DESPITE the zoning and re-districting work that Republicans... Read more

Don't predict future; it aint as easy even for experts

Last updated on: November 6, 2012 at 7:26 pm By Desh Kapoor

We all look at our past experiences and try to plan and predict the future. A lot of people act very smart and think they can control the future and what happens in it. But is that true? Just look at the following facts that were so true just over a decade ago: Greece was strong. Russia was bankrupt. Oil cost $13 a barrel. AOL dominated the Internet. Smart economists thought the US government would pay off the national debt by 2009. Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL ) was... Read more

102 year old lady proudly drives her 82 yr old Packard 740 Roadster!

Last updated on: November 6, 2012 at 7:13 pm By Desh Kapoor

Margaret Dunning drives 1930 Packard 740 Roadster. Yet she is more of a relic than her classic old car. Why? Because Margaret is 20 years older than her 82 year old car. She is 102. And she still drives her car. Until a few years she could even go under the car and change the oil as well. She owns a number of classic and old cars – ’66 Cadillac DeVille, a ’75 Cadillac Eldorado convertible and a 1931 Model A. So, what’s her... Read more

Last updated on: November 6, 2012 at 9:39 am By Desh Kapoor

Japan is a remarkably homogenous country and people have to invent differences for prejudice to find a play. For, differences bring distinctions for some and inferiority for others.
