This incident happened today morning...I was travelling by my office transport, a little sad, a little lost... the bus was pretty slow because of the traffic.

India is a tolerant country!!!(Is that a matter of pride btw??)
I'll start this one with a real life incident that I happened to witness of late. Our office transport vehicle stops outside each office, and collects passengers, and drops them home.

A … Continue reading India is a tolerant country!!!(Is that a matter of pride btw??)

The Karnataka Government has planned a Bill on making it mandatory for private hospitals to attend to the victims of accidents and other emergencies, rather than sending them to Government Hospitals, or … Continue reading Three cheers to the Karnataka Government!!
Random sailings….

Provoked!
Just happened to watch the Aishwarya Rai-starrer 'Provoked'. I said 'just happened to' because I didn't intend to in the first place, but when I did, I was glad I did! Seriously...
