Recycling blog

Since frequency of posts on this blog have reduced, I am attempting recycling. I trust you believe in concept of recycling whether or not you personally recycle. In that spirit, let me leave you some of the fine articles from my earlier blogs. I hope them to keep you company until I am in position to regularly start writing again. These posts were made in 2004-05 while I was studying at MIT. You may notice some change (hopefully improvement) in my writing skills in the meantime.

• My review of brilliant general science book ‘Short History of Nearly Everything’
• Story of how my first journey from USA to India was interrupted by hail storm
• Review of documentary film ‘Spellbound’
• My travelogue to Niagara Falls and New York City
• Miscellaneous commentary on Indian polity during last general election
• Old news from across the border about why is ‘India Shining’

Few key posts from my Hindi blog that are recommended readings, written during 2006-07:

• Review of nice ergonomics’ book ‘Design of Everyday Things’
• Phenomenon where some animals pretend death to ward off predators
• Fascinating analysis of simple mathematical problems: Pirate of sea, Sultan’s dowry, and Fair cake cutting
• First experience of watching 4D film
• Why I don’t think that singling out brown faces on airport of checking is wrong (and similar cases)
• Reflections on the direction of progress, a question still unresolved till date

Of course, you are free to browse rest of the English and Hindi blogs.
