http://pcr-rules.blogspot.com/2010/07/break-in-weather.html
Saturday, July 24, 2010. A break in the weather. A break in the weather. Originally uploaded by Kevin Day. A superb photo stream by Kevin Day. My friend the dead tree". Both poignant , and full of hope. It walks through time sof day, seasons, the artists moods, and the cycle of time. And every time its different. Teaches us something while I scroll through. I love the series. Absolutely love it . Catch the rest of the stream at http:/ www.flickr.com/photos/kevinday/694963014/. Posted by All Hail.

All Hail: Jacko
http://pcr-rules.blogspot.com/2009/07/jacko.html
Friday, July 10, 2009. Said a colleague passing by ‘By the way, you do know that Michael Jackson died this morning, right? Know I am shocked. I spend a few minutes trying to figure out why I suddenly felt so sad. I haven’t heard his songs for ages. It’s the passing of an era I guess. Moreover, MJ. I sat up nights watching the iconic Thriller videos when I was a teenager, and the music is still in my head. I watched him with Paul Mc. I remember that incredibly sweet, almost shy, little boy smile and that ...

All Hail: War on Terror? I just wear my black arm band..
http://pcr-rules.blogspot.com/2008/11/war-on-terror-i-just-wear-my-black-arm.html
Saturday, November 29, 2008. I just wear my black arm band. 8216;It is not burning there’, says a protester. To the journalist , pointing to his head . 8216;It is burning here.’. Pointing to his heart. Maybe that is the problem. We are burning in our hearts, while what we should be doing is coldly thinking with our minds, what we collectively should do next. I am sure our netas. No Sir, you will not be laughing now. Not now. Not ever. We need to hold people to account. But how? I wish you had told me tha...

All Hail: Over Anna-lyzed?
http://pcr-rules.blogspot.com/2011/08/over-anna-lyzed.html
Wednesday, August 24, 2011. I'm bombarded by edits, responses, essays and rebuttals. On the Anna phenomenon. And I hardly watch the news, so I am not going down that road either. Arundhati Roy, hereafter referred to as the Mind of Small Things wrote incisively in her Hindu Article " I'd rather not be Anna". Manu Joseph made a telling point in his new York article on India's Selective Rage over Corruption. Looks like the govt has to figure out how to ride the Tiger or be devoured by it. Not a happy si...

All Hail: Happy 2009 and some meanderings
http://pcr-rules.blogspot.com/2009/01/happy-2009-and-some-meanderings.html
Friday, January 02, 2009. Happy 2009 and some meanderings. Perhaps we need to desperately put a retrospective diary to a time span thats whizzed by. And being pretentious and measuring is one of the ways we do that. We need to look at endings before we start a real beginning, dont we? Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again." Andre Gide. Nothing wrong with that. All the best to you and yours in 2009 .

All Hail: Stay Out
http://pcr-rules.blogspot.com/2008/12/stay-out.html
Monday, December 01, 2008. Major Unnikrishnan's father had reason to throw out the politicians. They came , like vultures, to pick over the carrion. A little late , but there was always a sound byte possibility.That slap on the their face found many echoes. A dignified man in his grief till then , the father finally crumbled - in righteous rage. Shame on you . I am not fodder for you. Or media mileage. My loss will not be trivialised. That's what we all say . Posted by All Hail. Follow me on Twitter.

All Hail: Clueless in the Capital ..
http://pcr-rules.blogspot.com/2008/11/clueless-in-capital.html
Sunday, November 30, 2008. Clueless in the Capital . Heads have started to roll now. Shivaraj Patil steps down, dapper as ever . He is relieved , in more ways than one. I have a suggestion. We stop paying our taxes , until the government delivers. We are entitled to liberty , free expression under the Democracy. We are also entitled to live free and secure , have food , water , a roof over our head , and medical care . Guess what the government is NOT doing? But I get that coffee. However, we are not.

All Hail: The Best Things in Life are Free...
http://pcr-rules.blogspot.com/2009/10/best-things-in-life-are-free.html
Sunday, October 25, 2009. The Best Things in Life are Free. There is the loud but muffled sound of fireworks from somewhere outside of my room. I ignore it for as long as I can, and continue to work on my laptop, but later walk over, mildly irritated but curious, to the French windows, and draw the curtains. Its true isn’t it? The Beatles might disagree when they sang:. The best things in life are free. But you can keep 'em for the birds and bees. Then there is finding strange animal shapes billowing in ...

All Hail: Of Men and Memorials
http://pcr-rules.blogspot.com/2010/06/of-men-and-memorials.html
Friday, June 11, 2010. Of Men and Memorials. There is a lot of back and forth on the Indira Gandhi Park and the Memorial. Today there was an eminently sensible , pragmatic and well written perspective. By dear friend and columnist V Ravichandar in Bangalore Mirror. Ravi is admirably both able to look at this from a macro perspective as well as the civic viewpoint to look at this dispassionately. It had to go somewhere. Perhaps opposite mine? And here are my thoughts. Why by a private citizen? There are m...
