Google is launching its own operating system, Google Chrome OS. The news came yesterday directly from the horse’s mouth. This development is worth noticing. It might be the beginning of the end of Microsoft’s thirty years of domination in the operating system market. Or is it so? Can Google beat Microsoft in its own game? [...]

I never knew Michael Jackson, nor did I hear much of his songs (almost none), still I liked him (I am not sure why). And the news of his demise shook me. Like many of his fans, I too never thought he is a mortal, and couldn’t associate death with this Pop Icon. He is [...]

Photography is an art or not? This debate should be left for the critics to fight and decide, whatever its final status comes to be, no one can deny the way photography has affected visual storytelling.

I, just finished, Anderson Cooper’s, CNN foreign correspondent, book Dispatches from the edge and couple of days back got trapped into watching, Jugaad ki Jawaani on Aaj Tak, (had [...]

Headgear with you!
Why do you carry it,
all the while?
Is there some war going,
or got intuition of some assault,

With all the development and wealth of the world the paying capacity of the consumer has dropped significantly and will continue to do so in times to come. Surprised or shocked?
