Delhi to Agra

I usually write about the positive side of India. This time I wanted to share the other side to balance things out. We decided to go to Agra on Sunday. We learned that hiring a taxi is a bit expensive and is not safe. We decided to take a bus instead and enquired the people […]

The S&P Downgrade “Shocker” and Goldman Response: Where is the Honor Among Thieves?

There is a saying in Telugu, “dongalu dongalu oollu panchukunntlu” (Just like thieves divided the villages among themselves to rob). True to this age old maxim, Wall Street banks and the ratings agencies robbed us of our retirement nest eggs, drove most of us jobless, and kicked us out of our homes in a collaborative […]

Sri Medasani Mohan on Mohana Muralee GaanaLahari 1 of 2

Here is the interview most of you have been waiting for a long time. I consider this interview to be the best of all the interviews I have done thus far.

Just one sour note about this interview: I was a terrible host for him. When the interview was done, it was almost 3:30 PM. He had to be at the temple by 4 PM. He was hungry. There was no time to cook anything. Indian restaurants were closed. Only a little upma was left at home. He insisted that we share that. To this day, I feel very sad for sending him from my home with half-empty stomach.
