Emma visits the Western Ghats and muses-
Pure bliss, I realized at the end of our stay, was in not doing anything, just lazing around with great food and warm company. Ensconced as were in our 4 * 4 cubicles, pecking away at our keyboards day in and day out, grappling over architecture designs, life truly [...]

Sirensongs writes more on the Tibetan protest in Nepal and the crazy way ‘democracy’ functions in many parts of the world.
His comments, and those of several other Nepalis who spoke frankly, reminded me how very inured the average Nepali has become to organized violence, how little sense of moral outrage there is and how regular [...]
