The Silent Food Invasion - by Sudhir

Image
About  Sudhir   - Author of a Manipal based novel,  Pizza Porn , nothing about Sudhir has been cool and smooth. Trained to be an engineer, he realised that he wasn’t cut out for that role. So he left engineering and worked abroad for a decade. He saw three ghastly terrorist attacks from close quarters. Whether it was Mumbai or New York or London, the response has been the same - of fear, outrage and sheer bravery. We wish success to sudhir for his career . Over to Sudhir now (Gwalior is just a metaphor. This is the story of almost all the cities. Indians have suddenly become very adventurous in their gastronomic preferences) Yesterday I went to the city after almost three years. Once upon a time, Maharaj  Bada  and  Lashkar  were known as the city in Gwalior. Any big purchase be it clothes, television or books, one had to visit the  bada . But then city centre, the glamorous and new business hub came up and the glitz buried the staid and soon we f...

Dr Narendra Modi - By Prakhar Maheshwari

Seems mah veins are in love with 18th, coincidentally, last entry in this virtual space of mine was on same date a month back. Anyways, my lethargy was again broken with some external force. Although I`m a bit late in commenting something on "NATIONAL FESTIVAL" named Narendra Modi , I finally wish to add few bytes to terabytes of data being created on social platforms and other media source :-) :-) by energized and over enthusiastic, "INDIA" and "BHARAT" . Mah title seems a bit unjustified as we`ve never ever heard Mr. Modi by this name. But take mah words he himself doesn't know this.  ;-) ;-) Let`s take a bit theoretical approach to this. We visit Dr. when we are ill, or something that wasn`t cured by our household lovely mamma`s or grandma`s so called "GHARELU ILAAAJ" and we visit Dr. to tell us our ailments to him, expects him to understand "US" and then give a cure for the same. General elections 2014 made me realize ...
