There has been a debate going on that certain reality shows ought to be censored / banned due to objectionable language or content. The matter was raised in the Parliament too. The show in contention was the Indian adaptation of the Moment of Truth. For those not familiar with the…

Raksha Bandhan – the festival of celebration of a brother-sister ties is one of the most fun festivals I remember. When we were little kids, unlike in Bangalore we would get a holiday on rakhi. We were two sisters and a brother. It would be a festive atmosphere in the…
