Thought Center: I know what it takes, but I shan't tell you 5 point plan
http://the-lilac-avenue.blogspot.com/2012/10/i-know-what-it-takes-but-i-shant-tell.html
Thoughts. the windows to the world. My take on our times. Happy reading. Tuesday, October 16, 2012. I know what it takes, but I shan't tell you 5 point plan. The days have so far been dull, drab and boring. And it actually took a Presidential debate to get me writing here again. And not because it was so path-breakingly refreshing, but because it was so refreshingly banal! Give jobs to EVERYONE! Some of his comments were delirious. Khap concepts would come to shame. Gun control and low violence c...If he...

Thought Center: Shareholder is king!
http://the-lilac-avenue.blogspot.com/2013/04/shareholder-is-king.html
Thoughts. the windows to the world. My take on our times. Happy reading. Tuesday, April 09, 2013. If they do manage to get two of their own people on the Agrium board, the situation could end up like a coalition government, with key, contentious decisions almost never getting through, in an attempt to unlock the proposed value. Is this value really quantifiable? Must one take their past track record with McGraw Hill and others as a benchmark? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A lady of many words who l...

Thought Center: Fight for all the wrong reasons
http://the-lilac-avenue.blogspot.com/2015/10/fight-for-all-wrong-reasons.html
Thoughts. the windows to the world. My take on our times. Happy reading. Thursday, October 15, 2015. Fight for all the wrong reasons. Now, a bunch of idiots lynched a man in Dadri in 2015 for having allegedly consumed beef. I cannot even begin to express my shock at the super regression in time our people have made. One of the most ahead-of-its-time countries in the BCE, this particular event in UP certainly makes even a person of average intelligence sit up and be like 'WHAT THE HECK! As for the intelli...

Thought Center: Awwwwwwwwwwww, Facebook
http://the-lilac-avenue.blogspot.com/2013/10/awwwwwwwwwwww-facebook.html
Thoughts. the windows to the world. My take on our times. Happy reading. Wednesday, October 23, 2013. Anyhow, so yesterday was Karva Chauth. I know that despite not living in Delhi (the KC capital of the world, followed only by the Couv), given that through all my time in Mumbai, I was never ever surrounded by KC-observing women. But then again, this post is not about the fast/fest. Where was I again? So post - 'Mr. Moon, where are you? Even better is the post that says 'Successful KC tagging husband', f...

Thought Center: The answer is not gun control... the issue is mental health!
http://the-lilac-avenue.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-answer-is-not-gun-control-issue-is.html
Thoughts. the windows to the world. My take on our times. Happy reading. Sunday, December 16, 2012. The answer is not gun control. the issue is mental health! So, did Adam Lanza have what it took to have his life made into a major motion picture? Given that his yearbook didn't even have a photograph of him, as he was termed 'camera shy', probably not. Did Adam Lanza want his life to be the subject of discussion with so many people? So is media the cause? Why does the world have to sit up and realize that...

Thought Center: Kashmir and kid gloves
http://the-lilac-avenue.blogspot.com/2014/10/kashmir-and-kid-gloves.html
Thoughts. the windows to the world. My take on our times. Happy reading. Monday, October 06, 2014. Kashmir and kid gloves. Only this time, the open secret is out. That excesses have happened in the past. Power exists to be misused at some time or the other, as has been proven right from the time of the Mahabharata. So why the whole brouhaha? Everyone screwed up some time in the past! I have seem Haider 3 times almost and loved the film each time I saw.Actually I completely agree with u. The film ...A lad...

Thought Center: DearChief Minister, you are not Batman!!!!
http://the-lilac-avenue.blogspot.com/2014/01/dearchief-minister-you-are-not-batman.html
Thoughts. the windows to the world. My take on our times. Happy reading. Wednesday, January 22, 2014. DearChief Minister, you are not Batman! For some reason, the song that has been stuck in my head all of today is Taylor Swift's 'I knew you were trouble when you walked in'. I kept wondering why, and it is now that I realized that that song is exactly what Delhi is singing to it's current chief minister! Once upon a time a few mistakes ago. I was in your sights, you got me alone. Isn't he the government?

Thought Center: The Convenient Nobel Laureate
http://the-lilac-avenue.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-convenient-nobel-laureate.html
Thoughts. the windows to the world. My take on our times. Happy reading. Friday, October 10, 2014. The Convenient Nobel Laureate. A BBC documentary followed. I absolutely do not decry what Malala has been through. For a child, she has shown courage. But growing up in an activist household, with the BBC and international media as her Fairy Godmother instills a certain sense of courage as well. But does that require a recognition of the highest order? A year into his presidency? A lady of many words who li...

Thought Center: Unbelievable Arrogance.... A.k.a United Airlines
http://the-lilac-avenue.blogspot.com/2013/02/unbelievable-arrogance-aka-united.html
Thoughts. the windows to the world. My take on our times. Happy reading. Saturday, February 02, 2013. Unbelievable Arrogance. A.k.a United Airlines. It's always takes an unusually pleasant or an outrageously awful experience to make the words flow. Unfortunately in my case, it was the latter. And the more I think about it, the more I wonder why I was subjected to such a ridiculous experience, despite having paid upwards of a few hundred dollars for my travel. Why do I quote the number? I walked up to the...
