If I say Creativity is a prerequisite for excellence,  I am sure it will stand testimony to any research on the subject. Creativity is not restricted to writing, painting, […]

‘Stuck’ on a ‘stick’, that’s a ‘sticky’ situation indeed, instead of ‘sticking’ together at  such a momentous occasion, it all came ‘unstuck’.

Spit and polish is defined as exaggerated detail to cleanliness, isn’t it funny, as the act of spitting in normal course would obviously lead to the exact opposite.

It is the Amrit Kaal, 75 years of independence is being celebrated with fanfare and rightly so. Incidentally another major milestone in the history of the Nation and Indian Armed Forces in particular  coincides with this glorious year, the National Defence Academy also completes  75 years of its glorious journey.

  Indian Stretchable Time was how IST was described because we Indians didn’t believe in punctuality as a virtue,  late lateefi was expected and accepted as a norm rather than an aberration.  Trains running late at times by even 24 hours was not something to be ashamed of or even frowned upon.
