Occasional lapses into Sanity: Drill that could kill
http://neemhakim.blogspot.com/2010/03/drill-that-could-kill.html
Sometimes I wish my life had a erase/rewind button. Monday, March 08, 2010. Drill that could kill. The other day We went to Lifestyles in Kalyani nagar to pick up some stuff. While there shareek-e-hyat decided to catch a movie at Meriplex across the street. So we picked up tickets for a 430 show and headed to crossword to browse through books while waiting for the movie time. Next day Express mentions it was a mock drill conducted by police. And I think what the hell. Do you want people to die in...When ...

Occasional lapses into Sanity: September 2012
http://neemhakim.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Sometimes I wish my life had a erase/rewind button. Saturday, September 01, 2012. Perhaps not the best way of phrasing a question, let me expand. We often say someone is cultured? Or someone is uncouth? Some music - maybe opera is high culture while some is pop. So what is it that defines culture, and why do we look up upon certain things and look down upon certain things when it comes to 'culture'? Why consider that to be high culture which bores them. Links to this post. Links to this post. I think it ...

Occasional lapses into Sanity: Why do we treat our cities so bad?
http://neemhakim.blogspot.com/2014/07/why-do-we-treat-our-cities-so-bad.html
Sometimes I wish my life had a erase/rewind button. Sunday, July 27, 2014. Why do we treat our cities so bad? Living for some time in Mumbai now I am struck by the fact how badly maintained is Mumbai infrastructure especially roads. The difference is even more stark when I compare it with Delhi. When will be start treating our cities as the showcase of our concerns about its citizens? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Occasional lapses into Sanity. Why do we treat our cities so bad?

Sometimes I wish my life had a erase/rewind button. Friday, July 31, 2009. Ever wonder why is it that in-spite of blocking cookies and disabling javascript, many sites still manage to give ads that seem to reflect your browsing history? Well there is more to history than browser cookies (and browsing history saved in browser is often more valuable to a data mining site than mere cookies so clear it often). One leading culprit is 'flash cookies' or L. To avoid LSOs on Windows try these 2 steps.

Occasional lapses into Sanity: Women Reservation Bill
http://neemhakim.blogspot.com/2010/03/women-reservation-bill.html
Sometimes I wish my life had a erase/rewind button. Monday, March 08, 2010. Indian parliament starts the process of reserving 33% seats to women in parliament today. I think its a fair step though I do think the bill could have been structured better. I think its an idea whose time has come. We need more women to occupy positions of power. Somewhere though I hope this measure will not be needed after about 50 years and then we will go back to a reservation less society because non will be needed.

Sometimes I wish my life had a erase/rewind button. Friday, December 11, 2009. How does one measure poverty. Interesting that it took so long to finally junk calorie intake as the poverty estimation.

Thursday, December 03, 2009. Bollywood as the new Quettawood. I usually enjoy our neighbour's newspapers. Some to ...

Sometimes I wish my life had a erase/rewind button. Thursday, April 01, 2010. Historic day today with the Right to Education becoming a fundamental Right. Its a beginning that will fructify when that right also translated into quality eduction. Have a common course till at least class 8, preferably till class 10. Once we monitor this scheme for like 10 years so that we can see that a student from the most disadvantaged of family can be as good as rest we can setup more such schools. Students not very...
