Embarking on a gastronomical journey

My gastronomical journey dates back to 2010,when we made our first family trip across the world.As memories come.fleeting by and nostalgia grapples with my very emotions, I find it hard to recall events that took place ten years ago but to cherish it is the ultimate goal.The Far East awaited us and we embraced it with warm open hands.They say that traveling broadens your horizons and one culture gets rubbed on to another.I can attest to that fact and safely say that it did us justice Justice to traverse across this uncharted terrain comprising of Thailand,Malaysia and finally Singapore.Feeling alienated in an alien land(no pun intended)for the entirety of the 10 days of the trip was put to a screeching half when the tour guide being bequeathed to us was a jaunty and gregarious Indian by the name Saketh.He shared an uncanny resemblance to Arnab "The nation wants to know" Goswami. Thailand is really a treasure trove indeed replete with beaches,sun and sand dunes, nightclubs

A MOVIE REVIEW:ARTICLE 15

ARTICLE 15,a riveting movie that aims at championing a lone and isolated case in India by bringing more attention and gravitas to it, so that the Indian denizen would make a departure from cliched and hackneyed romcoms to artsy movies of of grit and sheen.The film is centered around the prevalent casteist system has has led to a hearkening reality of what a veritable portayal of the Indian landscape actually is.Dabbling in topics such as this is exactly Director Anubhav Sinha's aim and leaves the viewers completely open to the bombs that are about the drop.Ayushmann, one among Bollywood youngest brigade of actors diversifies himself from movie to movie and has undoubtedly outdone himself in this slowfaced but rather satisfying watch of a movie. Heralding the case on his own shoulders,this decorated IPS officer fights for the underdog and emerges clean at the end of it all, despite being broken and crumbled in the process. What was passed off as honor killing was in all actuality

The ins and out of the college admissions scandal

We all have grand aspirations to one day be a part of the greatest Ivies in the world(Harvard, Stanford so on and so forth)but there is something that escapes our very attention-their ridiculous acceptance rates and exorbitant tuition fees. Yes, taking into account the 2019 college admissions bribery and all this accounted to just admissions into the undergraduate level wherein backed by facts and incriminating evidence,parents have also been involved in illicit means to grant admissions to students,conspiring for bribery and money laundering wherein all of this was made public on March 12 2019.This is a bastardized series of events that have changed the course of US history.Now illegitimate bribing and allied scandals are a status quo in India but in the US is quite unheard of and 53 people being held for this despicable blot of a crime speaks volumes about the efficacy of the law enforcement.Insider trading, conniving with third party members who allegedly got their children admitt

Ushering in the era of Indian CEO's

After the recent success of Arvind Krishna bring appointed as the new CEO of IBM(a global tech conglomerate),my heart just swells with pride at the spike in Indians spearheading tech Giants across the hinterland. There is no trace of jingoism in my voice but merely the fact that I'm alluding this to not just Sundar Pichai of Google or Satya Nadella of Microsoft or Rajeev Suri of Nokia but rather every single Hindustani who has etched a place for himself in this dog eat dog world.A sense of fascination and intrigue also engulfs me as these prominent personalities weren't born and bred in affluence.All of them came from humble beginnings ,toughened by hardships,shaped by indomitable will and resilience.This is where passion comes into the picture wherein we can only hope to overtake the US and other countries for that matter when it comes to being involved in  holding prominent positions spanning the globe. What was once regarded an intellectual's realm is breaking new gro
