Cusps of Life

aditya kumar November 19, 2017November 25, 2017

Last year we moved to Sydney. It was a move that me and my wife had been planning for more than 3 years. The idea was to move to Australia and get a job.  I wouldn’t go into the details, as much has happened over the last year and a half: job, setting up a

The auto driver who doesn’t like journalists

aditya kumar April 11, 2014April 11, 2014

Last Saturday I went to the other side of town, to Malleswaram. On the way back I could not find a bus so I had to take an auto. I live in south Bangalore and the distance is quite a lot. It was a long way home and as it happens under such circumstances, almost

How do you support Mr.Hazare?

aditya kumar November 10, 2011

A few days after Anna Hazare’s now infamous April 5 Hunger strike, I saw a car, in the posh Koramangala neighborhood, with the sticker “I support Anna Hazare”. Instinctively, I wanted to run after the car, have a glimpse of the person behind the wheel and ask: Sir, how exactly do you intend to support

Tejas

aditya kumar January 10, 2011January 10, 2011

Today, in Bangalore, Tejas is set to join the Indian Air Force in it’s own first squadron. This may appear a “typical” defence news story to many of us, but it is a very significant milestone for a project that was first conceived in 1983. An aircraft, from it’s first prototype till the time it
