Whatever things: May 2004
http://nidhira.blogspot.com/2004_05_01_archive.html
The story of my life accompanied with some other stories. Monday, May 31, 2004. World in a spin. My world has been in a bit of a spin of late and its not been due to the chicken pox (thank you every much, and yes, it does itch quite badly). Allow me, without going into details to let you know how to deal with the female of the species (this one is for the few male readers that I may have left after this post):. Posted by whatever at 10:27 AM. Given that I am unwell, people have been pointing out stuff to...

sunstruck: Indian consumers voice concerns over GM food
http://runawaysun.blogspot.com/2011/03/indian-consumers-voice-concerns-over-gm.html
A worldview with a view of the world. Indian consumers voice concerns over GM food. What with cricket, scams and forthcoming state elections ruling the headlines, the debate over introducing genetically-modified (GM) food/crops in India is almost forgotten. Is that a good thing? Depends on which side you’re on. BRAI is expected to act as the sole agency responsible for the regulatory system, including research, transport, import, manufacture and the use of GM crops in India.]. The meeting was organised b...

sunstruck: What's new
http://runawaysun.blogspot.com/2010/04/whats-new.html
A worldview with a view of the world. I hear people declare these days, “consumers trust products and brand recommendations from people they know” (or words to this effect), as if it’s some kind of revelation. But, hasn’t this always been the case? Haven’t people always consulted their family, friends, neighbours and colleagues for advice and recommendations on products and services they intended to buy and use? What’s new about that? I'm reading: What's new. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Whatever things: Je Suis Desolee
http://nidhira.blogspot.com/2006/05/je-suis-desolee.html
The story of my life accompanied with some other stories. Thursday, May 04, 2006. I tried the whole knowing of the 1st line of the songs on my ipod recently when its on shuffle and it turns out I suck at knowing lyrics. Madonna helped me with little openers like the one that forms the title for this post. Of course, its hard to tell why she is apologising while making such awesome music (can you tell i WORSHIP her? Is that not enough I say? Sounds like an exhausting lifestyle, doesnt it? I am 25 and work...

Whatever things: Another Wedding
http://nidhira.blogspot.com/2006/02/another-wedding.html
The story of my life accompanied with some other stories. Wednesday, February 08, 2006. As mentioned in the previous post (which you probably did not read), I attended another very close friend's wedding in Delhi earlier this month. Now, going to Delhi is always fun and as usual I have stories to tell again. But before I do that, let me recount the 7 most favourite moments from the wedding for posterity -. 2 Butter-scotch ice-cream in the middle of the night. 6 Taking blurry photos. I am 25 and work as a...

sunstruck: November 2009
http://runawaysun.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
A worldview with a view of the world. The use of fear as a weapon is nothing new. Not just in war or by totalitarian governments upon their people or by the mafia or by landlords over farmers and peasants in agrarian societies like India, but even in cases as simple as parents disciplining their children or children bullying other children. In short, the belief that the use of fear and violence is for good. This is where I see the greatest evil. Evil in their blood. Although we tend to single out Adolf H...

sunstruck: September 2009
http://runawaysun.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
A worldview with a view of the world. District 9 busts the myth of good and evil. This year, from an unexpected quarter of the world, comes a film that takes head-on, and then shatters, the myth of good and evil. That film is District 9. And it comes from South Africa. What’s more surprising is that District 9. Although disturbing to watch and, in places, heart-wrenchingly emotional, this is where District 9. End up believing that being human is, perhaps, not such a good thing after all. In war, if there...

sunstruck: Surviving the 21st century
http://runawaysun.blogspot.com/2011/02/surviving-21st-century.html
A worldview with a view of the world. Surviving the 21st century. The impact of the internet, the mobilephone and air travel is beyond doubt. Technology has indeed changed our lives: helping us to connect with our family and friends, to conduct business speedily, to have access to education and healthcare which were beyond our reach earlier. What this means is that technology has liberated us to an unimaginable degree. Now we can hear what’s going on, and be heard, in all corners of the world. This is no...
