With all this campaigning about having to vote to excercise one’s right in a democracy, one of the factors of someone educated not wanting to vote for, was that one has no clue about who’s who, and this ends up in a murky generalisation that everybody is useless, and there’s no point in voting either…
Tumkur is supposed to be just an hour’s drive from Bangalore, but the bus (which we got almost immediately, both to and fro) took well over 2 hours each way. But the journey was enjoyable, and more than anything the trip was well worth it! Visited the Siddaganga Mutt and stayed overnight in the simple…
A small online comic strip… (click on the Forward link below to continue reading) I wrote “Living Forever” in a coffee shop in the spring of ’97. I had been thinking about how wonderful it would be to meet children’s book author and illustrator, William Steig, but I wondered why he would want to be…

We begin this New Year with dampened enthusiasm and dented optimism. Our happiness is diluted and our peace is threatened by the financial illness that has infected our families, organizations and nations.
