| No Woman No Cry | |
| I am letting you into no secret when I say that that this world suffers from several forms of deprivation. But the deprivation of the mind that causes suffering to women is among the worst. I have been troubled by two incidents that I read over the last few weeks. One of them is about the Nobel Laureate, V S Naipaul; the other about the alleged ra...

| Control Systems - Going Down the Memory ... | |
| Last week I saw my son's Control Systems book lying on the dining table. I picked it up and started running through it over a cup of coffee.I was flooded with memories of several years before, when I studied Control Systems Engineering under Prof. MAL Thathachar and Prof I G Sarma at IISc. Equivalent systems, Laplace Transforms, PID controls, Stabi...

| Two Questions on Vedic Astrology | |
| Like many people, I started off as a fanatical believer in God, and then became an atheist, an agnostic, and then a believer, but no longer fanatic. Somewhere in these phases, I was convinced that astrology was fallacy. However, I decided to learn astrology to prove to myself that astrology was just a lot of hot air. The rest is history in that fa...

| O Captain, my Captain | |
| In this world of conflict and chaos, it is only too easy to flow with the crowd, or be inactive. As we say in Electrical Engineering, take the path of least resistance. The world, however, brings in leaders from time to time, who sense what should be the correct path, use the force of their innate qualities and being, to overcome the resistance tha...

| Oliver Goldsmith : The Angelic Parrot | |
| We had a guest for dinner last week. (I mean dinner as in an evening meal - not dinner as used by many to mean lunch). We talked about her cat, and my recent conversion into a vegan, and we landed on the topic of dogs. From there, somehow we landed on 'Elegy Written on the Death of a Mad Dog' by Goldsmith, a poem that I studied in fair detail way b...

| The Bhutto Family Continuum | |
| The PPP has done what comes naturally to a dynasty mindset - appointed Benazir's inexperienced 19-year old son as the dejure Chairman, and her widower as the defacto Chairman. The similarities to our Gandhi family and the Congress are only too obvious. Why? Are our countries so devoid of leadership material, that only a family gene can guarantee ta...

| Walking in the Winter | |
| The frost on the ground is no deterrent, nor is the biting cold. The shoes that I wear, and my thermal underwear are adequate defence against the winter cold. It is the warmth of my bed and frost on the window pane that pull me back.But once I have dragged my unwilling flesh out on to the cold road, things change. I cannot wait to walk, and the mil...

After a few days, I strangely liked the treadmill, hated the elliptical, felt macho lifting weights and grimaced doing the abs. There were more trainers than clients at the time I visited the five...
