| The Making of I | |
| Motivation: No word or feeling is more sacrileged than “love”; I won’t use it for what I feel for her. Within two weeks of knowing her, I knew I would ask her if she would marry me. I had no choice. If ever something was destined in my life, it was this. I won’t describe her. For me, she was simply the best there can be. And, she deserved the best ...

| My Key Events in Indian Cinema | |
| Cinema in India is the most effective mass message carrier. It promises to retain it’s pre-eminence for a few decades longer. Here I list what I consider are the significant events in Indian cinema in my years of cinema watching. Of course, this is a subjective list. Rangeela – Nudity was mostly equated with declining values. That changed when Mili...

| You’ve got to Back Yourself | |
| My number was on the list. I couldn’t believe it. At first I thought, “I am misreading it”. I took a walk and came back. It was there. There was no escaping it. I thought, “If I can get it, this must be an easy exam”. It was March 31, 1999, at IIT-Madras, and GATE results. Six months earlier, I was listening to a lecturer, Krishna Rao, a graduate f...

| Me? I Was Fine | |
| “They are suspecting that you may be HIV positive?” It did not register, probably because I was hungry. I was in my 2nd year, BE. “So?” I smiled weakly. “What do you want me to do?” “It is not confirmed. You will have to get a test.” The Principal was obviously trying to be concerned. But I just did not need any. “Ok. I will do that. Can I leave?”...

| Rights, Duties, and the Right to Offend | |
| Homosapiens are among the weakest species, physically, on the planet. We can’t survive a summer heat, a winter cold, or a rain in our nakedness like the other species. In physical strength, we probably have the lowest strength to body weight ratio. However, mankind survived, despite its physical limitations, because we were united against extra-spe...

| The Right to Offend | |
| Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Salman Rushdie, Taslima Nasreen, Irshad Manji, Ibn Warraq and many others live under death threats for expressing certain ideas as they offended a group of people. Thus, the question arises, should freedom of ex-pression include a right to offend? I come across people, in print and conversations, say “I support freedom of ex-pressi...

God: (laughs) Do you really understand the words infinite and eternal? I: Of course, infinite space is a space so big that it is not finite; similarly, eternal time. God: It is funny...

Physicists claim that the speed of light is constant for all observers, that space is curved, that time appears to slow/speed for an object moving away/toward an observer at rest, and that time flows faster in a gravitational field for an observer outside.

Maybe, you can make me forget everything once in a while. God: OK. I can do that. Don’t you want to be young and start your life again? I: Of course, I want that. Who doesn’t want to be a chil...

| WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN ATHEIST |
|
|
| I never thought I would one day explain my atheism. But here I am gathering my thoughts together to find out what makes me an atheist. To do that, I would first have to define God – that what I believe does not exist - and then give my reasons why I believe God does not exist. After all atheism is just that – the belief that God does not exist. Peo...
