Angry with India Today, and Defending Myself

Well well well, had it not been for this one very pointed remark I would never know that India Today has featured me, and one of most unlikely posts.

While I admit that I use my blog to voice my disgust over a number of things, it is also true that it is my personal blog, [...]

I’ll be Gone

May not be able to post anything this week or over the next two weeks. Leaving for home and a lot of food on Friday, will back sometime mid next month.

I was going through the Mane issue of a Cosmopolitan a while back and a couple [...]
