Issac walked into the waiting lounge where Sarah was now sitting looking less dazed than before. "What happened? Did you get him?" she asked. "He's dead.Someone shot him. And there is no trace of the killer." he replied. "Was it Tony?He got away? He's obviously the one behind Purva's death too then." Sarah deduced, hoping she was wrong. "No. There was literally no trace of the killer. Like as if there wasn't a killer." Issac clarified. "What? Ice. Go get tested.He's probably injected you with that drug too. How can there be a murder and no killer?" Sarah mocked. "At every step, this case has thrown up more questions than answers. But some of it is beginning to make sense now. This new victim isn't Purva's killer. He's only an accomplice. His only job was to control the baby puppet from the terrace. The real killer was inside Purva's house all along." Issac explained. "Hang on. That can...

There are people who care about Internet privacy and there are those that don't. This post is primarily for the former, but aimed at trying to convince the latter that they should start taking the idea of online privacy more seriously. The Internet is a fascinating place. Or medium. Or system. You can call it what you want depending on what you use it for. In the relatively short time that it has been around, it has been one of those things that has truly changed the world. Everybody recognizes the impact that the Internet has had in arguably every walk of life. From politics to arts, shopping to traveling, education to entertainment, from governance to sports, the role of the internet can not be understated. In truth, the internet has become a basic need for billions of people around the world. It has reached the point where the debate now, is not about whether it is a basic need or not, but about if it should be treated as a basic right or not. One of the biggest plus points a...

The weather was vintage Bangalore. A cold breeze flirted with the otherwise warm atmosphere. A cute, shabby dog ran back into the safety of the house he belonged to, bullied by the barking street dogs. Crisp, golden-brown leaves sat on the road like a carpet laid out for god's children. The footpath was lined by flowers so tender that they'd been felled by a gentle passing breeze. There was almost no activity in the houses on either side of the road. There were cars parked on one side, still as water. An unfamiliar tune was playing in the air- that of a beautiful silence. Somewhere in the distance a trumpet played a more familiar tune, breaking the stunning calm that had engulfed the area. Holding a copy of some class notes in one hand and a pencil in another, I sat staring into pure nothingness. A couple of friends sat beside me, trying to study. It was the perfect weather for anything but studying. A wrinkled middle aged lady walked up to the car begging for money. She per...

To all the lovely women (is there another kind? ), Here's wishing you a very happy international women's day. Picture Credits: VJ And since it's women's day it's best that men shut up and let the ladies have the day. So with a big thank you from the bottom of our collective hearts for all that you've done for us and a bigger sorry for all that we have done, here's wishing that you gals have a beautiful year filled with nothing but joy, success, freedom and fulfilled dreams.  Before I stick to my word and shut up, here's one last thing. One of my friends told me about the dreamcatcher. An ancient native American object ( see picture below ) that the Ojibwe people believed changes a person's dreams. Legend has it that only good dreams would be allowed to filter through it and Bad dreams would stay in the net, disappearing with the light of day. The Dreamcatcher When the dawn breaks tomorrow, may your fears disappear so that you can do everything you...

At 21, you've got to be. 3 years earlier, he had taken a major decision- To do a course in engineering. From where he came, kids had to pick one among three choices. 1) To become an engineer, 2) To become a doctor or 3) To be a failure in the eyes of society. While a majority succumbed to the pressures of peers, parents and placements, his motivation was different. He wanted to make the things that used to fascinate him. The countless TV remotes he had dismantled out of curiosity, the remote controlled toy cars he'd take apart to see what made those magical objects listen to his every command, those calculators, keychain digital cameras, broken ...
