Greenwashing is a term that is increasingly entering common parlance.... with its systematic attempts to give environmentally harmful organisations and practices a positive connotation and colour. My Sunday op-ed in Deccan Herald

It has been 18 Days since has been on fast, asking for very basic & necessary demands for the region of Ladakh. We the people of Mainland should rise for the support for Ladakh. As the eco-sensitive place has implications for all of India.

Dear Ganga, Narmada or Godavari, in case you are looking for an opening -- you are very much wanted in Bangalore. I believe Cauvery is running a little bit low these days...

At Lalbagh, I was finally able to click a shot of the much favoured EV -- dubbed as Harini Express. Any guesses on who it is named after?

Can someone tell me who the cab and auto-drivers are relentlessly talking to on their phones, day or night? Be it a 5 AM drop to the airport or a 6 PM drive through Sarjapur traffic, these men will be talking away like no tomorrow. It doesn't feel lovey-dovey either..

Wonderful read on what goes behind the making of a fiction novel -- all the influences of the author and how they shape up the protagonist. Must read for anyone wishing to write --

Belonging to the Gharana of Ghazals, we had very little regard for , his Chitti Aayi Hai or Chandi Jaise were not match to Woh Kagaz Ki or Tum itna Jo. But, he was a true gentleman, a soft spoken erudite man. Today, we have lost a nice man

was a very bravest man. A man who had the guts to stand in front of an autocrat & not cower. When he returned to Moscow, his fate was sealed. Putin had got him poisoned in Germany, how could he ever think of returning to Russia? Destined? But very very tragic

Recorded an interaction with Dr. Karan Singh. But this time, we were not talking about Kashmir or politics, instead on the environment, Indira Gandhi and how the tiger became the national animal instead of the lion. Coming soon as on Azim Premji University YouTube Channel
