| Modi in the eyes of Non-Gujrati Hindus | |
|
|
| How Modi is rated by Non-Gujratis of Gujarat. No one has raised this question. But percentage wise, these non-Gujarati community constitutes a sizeable population especially in certain assembly constituencies of Ahmedabad, Baroda, Surat,Jamnagar and Rajkot. Look at them, you will not be able to distinguish them from the rest of the Gujaratis.Like t...

| My Discovery of Durga | |
| When the first beats of Drum “ Dhanng… Kur… Kur… Dhang” hits the Indian TV network announcing the arrival of season of Durga puja, a sudden pain spread through my chest – a loss that I cannot recoup. Why do I love to live in my not-so- happy past. Am I, a slave of nostalgia I think there are millions like me who live a life out of memories. But...

|
|
| My grand father had smile on his face. No one saw him becoming angry. When we were children and we had our family functions at home, granddad would be sitting on his old bed, legs stretched and the back on a old hard pillow, ever smiling. We kids would take our seats around him, eager to hear granddad’s stories. It was personal story mixed with hi...

As I look back to recollect I come across some interesting themes connected to India's Independence Movement:1.Each one has passed through a host of socio-politico-economic process.India is no exception.

| How far tradition will continue? | |
|

| In my early teen I had read a literary piece by S.Wajed Ali - a noted writer; whose core theme in a few words was continuity of life, of occupation and of tradition. One generation dies, another generation assumes the same role that their ancestors were doing. Follow the same tradition. Though some of my friends may argue that today’s global Indi...

Why I like it from the rest, cause you can feel the raw pulse of Rural India. There are a lot of other interesting pics and paintings which make it worthwhile to visit this site.
