How Indians would have saved Lehman Brothers
E.R. RAMACHANDRAN writes: I happened to run in to Nanu bhai on Dalal Street. He was eating Khaman Dhokla in a farsan shop. “ Khem cho , Nanu bhai ?” “ Saru che .” He was looking glum but gestured me to join him.

What is so “world-famous” about Mysore Dasara?
DEEPAK THIMAYA writes from Bangalore: Ministers and bureaucrats, correspondents and reporters, tourist operators and hotel owners… nobody, it seems, can utter the words “Mysore Dasara” without happily slapping the label “world famous” before it. Is it? Is the Mysore Dasara “world famous” because we assu...

If there’s poetic justice, it is here, it is here
Narendra Modi ’s Gujarat sent Qutubuddin Ansari to West Bengal. How ironic that Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee should return the favour with the Tata Nano .

Destruction of India as shared space for all faiths
M.J. Akbar in Deccan Herald : “Dr Manmohan Singh said, on his return from France, that incidents in Orissa had shamed India before the world.

Views from your backyard
A friend of ours has just moved to a place near Hosur and I guess you can see why. There’s a picturesque lake skirting his backyard. Just imagine, a place to call home, with a lake attached.
