The Food crisis is much closer home than what you may think.

I know Subsidies/PDS can't help them. I don't know what can be done. Do you know of NGOs who are working on basic health-care in villages?

These days, I have been thinking a lot about these - how do we tackle the challenges we face - water conservation/harvesting, food shortage, agrarian challenges, clean air! I want to do something but right now, I don't know what. The first thing that came to mind was to check if you know anyone who is doing something sincere and meaningful and then I can help in whatever way I can. I am not looking at making a donation, collect my 80G receipts and feel contented.

Let me know if you know someone. I'm not looking for typical JNU-jhola waala-Commies.

Getting kids (younger than 3 or 4 years-old) a hair-cut is usually a harrowing experience. The kids seem to hate it and one of the primary reasons is that they are usually constricted because everyone - the parents and the person cutting the hair are scared of cuts and bruises lest the kid moves unexpectedly. Also, the kid would never have been explained the whole concept of getting the hair cut and even if an attempt would have been made, the kids are too young to appreciate it.

It has happened - What was just a possibility till last year has happened. Over and over again. Would you say this is the beginning of the end? Is it a disaster? I don't know. Yesterday , we were privileged to watch a brilliant display of grass-court tennis during the rain-breaks. That is, when they were showing Borg play McEnroe.

I can empathise with General saab and understand the gravity of the situation because they may soon start posting my pictures for a similar post. I have decided to rectify the situation.

This is a very good 'How Stuff works' post on film award ceremonies in India.

They should stop playing dead rubber matches in cricket. They are already playing on such lifeless pitches. On top of it, there is no motivation for either of the teams. Why waste the players' time? An alternative can be convert the dead rubber ODI matches as T20 games. The audience can get their money's worth and the players can get done with, without staying out for the full hundred overs.

Naomi Klein has another thought provoking article here.

Please don't forget 1998. The embarrassment that followed the "I have 272" may happen all over again. Beware.
