| A Flight to Pakistan- Part 1 | |
|
|
| I had recently gone to Pakistan. It was a journey of discovery, a discovery how we allow prejudice and disinformation to ruin our perspective and completely cloud our judgment. The hostess on the PIA flight was quite cherubic, smart and talkative. Not that pasted unexpressive nonchalant smile of an Air India Fatso. In between serving drinks and lu...

|
| In the previous 12 months there has been unprecedented rise in the costs of international raw materials and agricultural inputs and produce. It is just not crude petroleum that has gone up two times, the upswing in fertiliser and its raw materials is much more steep and baffling. Sulphur, the key input for phosphatic fertiliser has gone up 10 times...

|
|
| Religion is the universal tool for explaining things which we do not understand in the context of the physical world. From the earliest known evidence of human beings around 100,000 years ago to the present day, religion continues to be a very influential aspect of human lives. There are numerous challenges and problems specific to location and soc...

| Lesotho cannot wait for the world to come up with ideas to feed its hungry population, so it has developed some of its own. The mountain kingdom in southern Africa with a population of barely two million sits on a plateau mostly above 1,800 metres altitude, so the growing season is short and its vulnerability to climate change is acute.

| Museum buildings, ideally, should reflect what they muse about. They should relate to the content and blend with it. Some do, most dont. One of the most incongruous museum buildings i have seen is the Luxor Museum. Its a swank building with a very modern display; many love it, i hate it.
