Book Review – Free Sky by Alex Kroy

Title: Free Sky

Author: Alex Kroy

No of Pages: 152 in PDF Format

Synopsis: Born and raised in a sterile genetics laboratory, Sky has never known love, nor laughter nor human kindness. She even had to name herself.

My Rebuttal To Mr Abhijit Ray’s Review of My Book: A TO Z OF MEN AND WOMEN WHO EXCELLED IN SPORTS

My Rebuttal To Mr Abhijit Ray’s Review of My Book: A TO Z OF MEN AND WOMEN WHO EXCELLED IN SPORTS

I just came back yesterday after an exhaustive four day journey to Chennai which included a complete medical checkup in Apollo hospitals. Fortunately the reports clearly indicated that I do not have any major problems except for being grossly overweight and diabetic which is anyway not news to me. I have been having this problem for the past four or five years. But my doctor did ment...

My Take On Bhaktology

My Take On Bhaktology

One of the qualities of Bhakts which never fails to baffle me is their undying loyalty to the current regime. I would like to coin a term for this loyalty. I will call it the Bhakt Quotient. There was a time when I too had a Bhakt Quotient of 100%. This was before the year 2014. And in the past five years my Bhakt Quotient has reduced to a mere 5% and even that minuscule percentage is because there are still one or two issues on which I agree with the curre...

Oh my tormentor, did you ever think of me?

Oh my tormentor, did you ever think of me?

A guileless child that I was,
I was unable to understand,
Your devious and brilliant mind,
Your delight in sadistic pleasure,

You were a leader,
A man born to rule,
I was a follower,
A beast of burden cursed to follow,

I was so naive,
That I did not even know,
I was permitted to hate you,
I thought hate for people like you was not permitted for the likes of me,

Not once did I think ill of you,
During all those school days,
When you used to gather...

Fear: The All-Consuming Reality Of Today’s India

FEAR: THE ALL-CONSUMING REALITY OF TODAY’S INDIA

It is indeed a pity that I have to start the first post in my new blog to express a negative emotion like fear. Let me first tell you how the whole sordid tale of this post came about. A few days back I had signed a petition challenging the incarceration of the Gujarat Cadre IPS officer Sanjiv Bhat in a 22 year old case.

Bhat has not been given bail for nearly a year in spite of several appeals. He has approached the Supreme Court...
