Over the last few days, the comments in my controversial, disgust-inducing post have moved from outrage to debate. People who came in appalled at my use of such a crude analogy have begun to see the point behind the analogy, even if they don’t agree with it: that your body is as much your own [...]

Hmm. I thought this snap was just okay, but if Ravages favourited it, it must be really good. Which is good. I like surprising myself.

Now that everyone is done being outraged about my language, can we step back and take a look at the actual argument, please? Thank you. I first thought of making this post a week or more ago, when I first read the original comment. The post I wrote in response was what I felt immediately [...]

At theotherindia, Tejal leaves the following comment: Her list of class disadvantages is however, an elitist peception in my opinion. i wouldnt count “not being able to enter pubs, bars etc” as a disadvantage or a deprivation in terms of class, becuase the very existence of such gated institutions is the proof and perptration of [...]

Although I’m a diehard Airtel loyalist- back in my Patiala days, I was a beneficiary of the price war dividend- I criticised them a few months ago for not doing what a tyro like Spice was doing. Now, I’m going to ask if they’ve dropped the innovation ball altogether. Their last major new VAS was [...]

Three months ago, I pointed out that telecom is a bad poster child for reform because it has an unfair advantage- the network effect.
