IPL's marriage with Bollywood led to spot-fixing?

Cricket and Bollywood came closer with the advent of Indian Premier League, and players and film actors were spotted in post match parties dancing, mingling with each other, and posing for the cameras in the presence of some known as well as unknown faces. It is in such kind of events, where cricketers can come in touch with bookies, who are introduced by a common friend and hence the chances of spot-fixing increase.

Railways should provide the best cushioned seats in all compartments

Recently, while traveling, I got the opportunity to travel by different trains in various cities. I noticed the trains minutely, and found that the thickness of the sitting seat cushion in some of the trains, mainly in the second class and general class compartments, were of uneven thickness and thus comfort ability. I think the ministry ought to think of investing in buying cushions of even quality and specifications.

India can be made genuinely secular

The Indian version of secularism is nothing but a continuation of the British Divide & Rule policy. It helps in vote-bank politics, while the electorate by and large takes politicians' multi-communalism for secularism: appease and annoy one community at a time!

Olcott to mark the revival of Buddhism in 1880 in Ceylon, now Sri Lanka.

World moves on from 'friendship' to 'Internet friendship'

In my childhood, I had a friend whose father was a doctor and he had an Austin car. I belonged to a set-up where even an 'Eveready' or 'Geep' torch, a bicycle and an umbrella were considered as items of luxuries. He used to live in an old English style government villa near the town's general hospital. He had an orchard in the courtyard which had tangerine bushes, lemon trees, wood apple, tamarind, mangoes and guavas. There was the family of a gardener who took care of the orchard, flower- corners and golden- pots.
