I was reading into the wisdom of ancient science this day. The realization of how seamlessly life has been intertwined into one big cosmos was causing a mysterious discomfort inside the heart when in truth it should have wiped all my apprehensions about the big question.

It was then the beginning of the end for Kurt Cobain. Just as I was getting so hooked to the Seattle band he put a bullet through his head. Quick. I wrote an ode to the man. So did a few more million fans. India had stepped into liberalisation. Narasimha Rao and Manmohan Singh had 'freed' India from License Raj Economy. The youth were ...
