The Indian budget every year has always been an eagerly awaited event. For many decades, the best minds in economics, finance, tax, business and industry throng the media house to analyze the provisions shared by the Financial Minister.
Sometimes major events completely disconnected may be data points for the plans of the different powers around the world. The challenge is to discern what purpose they serve? More critically, what are we moving towards?
When the US Ambassador threatened India's "Strategic Autonomy" policy over India's friendship with Russia - much more than meets the eye was at stake. Let us unpack how the Ukraine war has fundamentally changed the US and the world. And why are we here anyway?
Honey Singh is a Punjabi rapper from Hoshiarpur, who is going to perform at the Bristol Hotel in Gurgaon. A section of the society has started a campaign to ban this guy from performing in Delhi. Actually he should be banned from performing anywhere in India. He openly sings songs with “Rape themes” containing lyrics which are misogynistic and demeaning.
He is known as the Rape Rapper.
He has belted out songs like Main Hoon Balaatkari and Ch** – punjabi word for female genitalia rhyming with root. The lyrics are horrendously mind-numbing and it is anyone’s guess as to what it teaches the Punjabi youth – hardly known for sensitivity – to do with women! You can check them below.

The lyrics of the song C***: Aja teri ch*** maroon Tere sir se chu**** ka bhoot utaroon Cho**** key baad tujhe jutey maroon Tere mooh main apna l*** dey key mo*** maroon (yeah)

This visit of India left me with many questions. Many observations and inputs from different people and sections. Food for thought that I have tried to contemplate on and make sense of. Sharing all that with you.
When you analyze the last 60 years of the economic miracles of Singapore, South Korea and Malaysia versus the continued impoverished Indian economy, you get very interesting lessons. Can Indians have the wherewithal in them to do in one generation so that the coming generations may rise?
