    It’s been an eventful trip to India. First year of MBA just got over and I am back in India for a bit to visit family and friends after one whole year. Much has happened…things have changed, people have changed, I have changed. New perspectives have been gained. A chapter...

    “In his tenure, Sadananda Gowda did good work and the performance of our government was very good.

    The Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) officials have been instructed to plant 1 lakh trees in Vizag city. This is highly commendable. As is clear from any Google satellite image of Vizag, almost all the greenery in Vizag is only within compounds such as Railways, Andhra University, HPCL Quarters, Harbour...

    The game has gone for over a year now. The game of musical chairs, that is. With the BJP central leadership unable to make up its mind on how to deal with the fresh rebellion a fortnight from the Yeddyurappa camp, it let the music flow and keep the chief...

    It is back to jail for the DMK-ites, most would snigger. The `fill the Jails’ agitation that will take place in Tamilnadu on July 4 is already giving jail staff nightmares, with very little space available.

    Oh no, not again. That’s the familiar groan every time, yes, every time B S Yeddyurappa decides to raise the banner of revolt. This chief minister-turned-thorn in the BJP flesh has clearly emerged as the Principal of the Rebel Politicians College of India. The optimist in him refuses to die...
