India has a richer and more diverse collection of stories than any European or Middle Eastern culture or country. That is probably the result of a continuous, unbroken culture over the past 5,000 years. Every Indian child grows up being told these stories and reading them. A decade or so ago, many of these stories were picturized in…

There are four updates to our Top 10 list since our last monthly update on September 12. “Mo Force is On Board the Deflation Wagon” has entered the Top 10 list in the 7th place. “First Snoop Dogg, Now Sylvestor Stallone – Everyone Is Getting Aboard The Bolly-Holly Train” has reentered the Top 10 list in the 10th place….
We are getting very concerned about the discussion in America about Afghanistan and the future of America’s mission there. It appears that the vast majority of American opinionators on TV and in Print have zero knowledge about Afghan history. So, myths are being spread about the land and its people.

We believe that lack of education breeds ignorance and ignorance breeds cultural racism. This may be the hidden factor behind media’s portrayal of the Afghanistan situation. The French used to look down on the Vietnamese as primitive and unintelligent. The French Generals were proud of being the country of Napoleon and they underestimated Ho Chi Minh. The results are…
When you speak to Indian-Americans about Air India, they usually grimace. This is because, they remember like we do, how awful Air India used to be. The service on air was usually good and friendly. But the facilities on the ground were bad and the attitude of the ground staff was awful. You got the…
