Michael

Michael Jackson is no more. In this pensive moment for me and millions of his fans , I had to write a few words in tribute to this great,talented artist who had a tragic end. I have soo many fond memories from childhood dancing to his songs and wanted to be a dancer when i grow up. I was pretty much hooked to his Music. Thriller , Dangerous , Bad epitomized my english collection.
I still remember the days when he came to India. Big billboards were on display annoncing his arrival. It was a big moment for India to host a big star like him in those times.
I am saddened by the fact that i forgot my childhood idol.May god give his soul peace.

One of my favourite song of Michael's
Man in the Mirror

All this time the government was sitting on its laurels of having made India a self reliant country in agriculture but it had all this time neglected education. This meant that many more generations even after independence will still be illiterate. Another fact in India being undeveloped has been our long he...

The World Is Flat not really but literally as pronounced by Thomas L. Friedman in his book ‘The World Is Flat’ A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century. In the world of today everybody has got a level playing field. People in developing world compete and collaborate with those in developed world. This way we are witnessing a phenomenon of widespread distribution of wealth across the globe and are bringing prosperity all around. It all started with advancement in communication and transportation. Inter galactic optical fibers network changed it all. The same work which was done a decade ago in a single office is now being done all across the globe. With some part done in China and some in Mexico and India. So much has changed that you when you book your Mac Donald’s pizza at a take away and you won’t realize that the actual person taking your order is sitting thousands mile away and taking your order over the phone. But for a country like India what is the effect at the grass root le...
