And here we go again…

With our fascination for white skin… But hang on… Obama is not white skin! Would he be categorized as Black or Brown? Or either of the colors with white inside?

Judgement Day

Ok so much has been made about the verdict today that the entire country is on tenterhooks and I hope for the sake of the common man that the verdict runs into few thousand pages and true import is buried under typical legalese that no one really comes out a winner and things move to [...]

State of the Nation

There are events that are unfolding which are going to decide where do we go as a country. They are all happening at once and can possibly chart an all new path for our country or they could lead to us becoming a closed and isolated society. It is going to take a strong political [...]
