I bought Steve Jobs on the way back from my recent trip to India. Sick and dreading the impending long flight back to Los Angeles, I browsed in the bookstore at the airport and found this, which was on my to-be-bought book list. Earlier times I dodged at buying this book mainly because of price, […]
I started reading this book few months back. I was a very slow reader as it is and only read few pages a day. However, because the book is so dense in its contents, at times, it took days or months to complete a chapter. In this biography Walter Isaacson not only dealt with Einstein’s […]
Now that the once United Andhra Pradesh is bifurcated, let me write what this might result in politics in terms of development, resources, culture and the overall impact of it on Telugu identity. Firstly let us see who blundered and got bludgeoned in recent elections as a result of this. The Indian National Congress party […]

As the Bishop Theophilus of Alexandria puts the last pieces in place to obtain complete control over the restive city, and with the Roman Emperor Theodosius’s support, one detail remains unresolved. Despite systematic attempts to take him into custody, one mysterious stranger with […]
No need to mention or enumerate the accolades to one of the most accomplished actors in Telugu Cinema, Akkineni Nageswara Rao, popularly called ANR. He is the personification of perseverance and hard work. He had to compete with a more charismatic and well endowed person and actor like N.T.Ramana Rao, popular by name NTR […]
In this part I would like to discuss how the world’s foremost, most powerful and advanced democracy is floundering. USA was probably the best thing that happened for the advancement of humanity and it’s achievements. At least that was the premise this pristine concept of democracy which is supposedly meant to establish a government of […]
One is the world’s oldest and one is the world’s largest. And how have they been faring!? Well you know who I have been talking about. USA and India. To a large extent democracy is seen as the sure path of governance of the people, by the people and for the people. But is it […]
Often times we wonder why things go wrong even when there should not be a problem. Most of the problems in the world currently are from people alone. Natural calamities or celestial happenings are so rare and infrequent compared to human atrocities on this planet. At least until human actions are more apparent in showing […]
There are two ‘C’s that are killing India’s emergence as a major nation, a nation that can even be a torch bearer for generations to come for the entire world. They are Corruption and Caste-ism. These two are actually the manifestation of the same devious thinking as I hope to explain eventually in this […]
The recent mowing down of little kids and adults at Sandy Hook Elementary school has brought in many things into light about guns in this country. Like many other things, this is getting translated to political stances and the usual stalemate about anything that ought to change in this country. Many people with liberal […]
In a day or so citizens of U.S.A will elect it’s president, which has enormous implications to both to the U.S and the world. For many the choice is obvious because of personal feelings but there is an element of confusion that is pervading this country. As part of politics, both the major parties […]
As you all know there are are tons of critical reviews and jokes about Apple iOS maps. But what is really behind this new technology and why Apple took some monumental risk in doing away with Google Maps? The link below gives a very good review and possible explanation of Apple’s decisions. As I […]
For the most part I like the direction of Apple products and features but this one they botched royally! Ever wondered what would have been Hitler’s reaction to iOS6 maps, watch this. This is hilarious! 🙂
We heard about this a while ago but finally Google seems to make it more public, to say it is available! I am guessing this is because the product seems now well tested with latest android series 4.1 (Jelly Bean, why this name you ask me, I say it is supposed to be mouth watering […]
The case is coming to a close! I think the verdict in this will decide quite a bit about copyrights, patents and IP (intellectual property) rights in this century. As much as we want to see competition, that doesn’t mean we can allow some one stealing your hard work overnight. To me in this case […]
