Reflections: Results of General Elections 2009
http://mistrycalledlife.blogspot.com/2009/05/results-of-general-elections-2009.html
Sunday, May 24, 2009. Results of General Elections 2009. What exactly do the results signify? Contrary to the belief in the world media that the Indian voters are gullible because of the extreme poverty and lack of education, these voters have proved that they are politically much wiser and can exercise their right to vote quite sensibly. Who are the biggest losers? The left parties couldn’t properly assess the aspirations of the growing middle class in India and took a U-turn in almost all the imp...

Reflections: March 2009
http://mistrycalledlife.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 8, 2009. Witnessing the events unfold around us, we sometimes wonder where the sensitivity, faith in relationships have gone? Have we lost the capacity to view relationships in a simple, uncomplicated way? Just when we are about to give up, life presents us with some unexpected, invaluable gifts which strengthen our belief in basic human values. Last week I watched two great movies, Children of heaven and Where is my friend’s home? Directed by an Iranian and a Russian director respectively.

Reflections: Singapore Diary
http://mistrycalledlife.blogspot.com/2009/04/singapore-diary.html
Tuesday, April 7, 2009. I miss India so much because I haven't yet heard a single car or bus sounding horns either while the traffic is in motion or while the traffic just takes off at signals. Another thing which irritates me is the fact that people actually wait patiently behind you if you are on the wrong side of escalators. Why can't they simply start an arguement? I hope to keep writing as often as I can. I'm reading: Singapore Diary. Posted by Anand kunte. May 4, 2009 at 8:49 PM.

Reflections: December 2008
http://mistrycalledlife.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 14, 2008. Terror Attacks on Mumbai. It has been more than 15 days since the traumatizing attacks on Mumbai. India, so far, hasn’t really reacted except for building up the diplomatic pressure on Pakistan. The intellectuals’, masses and the media are wondering why our government is taking so much time to retaliate. What are India’s options? Let us consider the options that are routinely discussed in the media. They are:. C Severe economic ties with Pakistan. D Engage Pakistan in a dialogue.

Reflections: Elephant in your bedroom
http://mistrycalledlife.blogspot.com/2009/01/elephant-in-your-bedroom.html
Tuesday, January 20, 2009. Elephant in your bedroom. P Sainath has aptly said in one of his interviews that invisible India is like an elephant in your bedroom. I visited Jamkhed, a small village at a distance of about 75 Km from Ahmadnagar on last saturday and sunday only to realise the truth behind these words. Throughout the journey, barring a few islands of development(? Can there be an end to this? We can certainly bring about a change, if only we spot the elephant in our secured, insulated bedroom.

Thursday, October 30, 2008. On a serious note, I have always had this literary itch. I have always desired to share my experiences with people, events and life in general with my friends. I have chosen this medium as it is fast, effective and most importantly, interactive. I look forward to your replies. Replies may range from 'Good beginning buddy' to 'what the Sxxt is this all about? Shall keep meeting you at irregular intervals. Posted by Anand kunte. Links to this post.

Reflections: November 2008

Tuesday, November 25, 2008. What has Maharashtra lost in the whole bargain? The only ray of hope is the fact that not all of Maharashtra follows Mr. Thakre(Raj or Uddhav) just as not all of Bihar follows Mr. Lalu Prasad Yadav and not all of U.P. follows Mr. Amar Singh or Ms. Mayawati.
