Since the dramatic events of 9/11, Bollywood cinema has shown an unusual interest in the terrorist film genre, especially as regards to international terrorism and global tensions between Islam and the West. Striking examples of this genre include Kabir Khan’s New York (2008), Karan Johar’s My Name is Khan (2010), Rensil D’Silva’s Kurbaan (2009) and Apoorva Lakhia’s Mission Istanbul, to name a few. Films like Anil Sharma’s Ab Tumhare Hawale Watam Sathiyo (2004) and Subhash Ghai’s Black and White (2008) focus on terrorist issues within the Indian subcontinent itself. The latter films have continued in the tradition of pre 9/11 […]
The arrival of the Longo Maï community When they took the mill on it was nothing but a large, abandoned building, where no wool had been spun for sixteen years. The 1920 machinery was covered in cobwebs, the floor littered with rubble and years of exposure to the elements had weakened the structure itself. But the philosophy of this Swiss origin community is to keep old traditions and skills alive while living self sufficiently and independently of modern socioeconomic conventions. It seems that one only needed rolled-up sleeves, a strong belief and a good deal of patience. The result is […]
Folks say you can’t kill an idea. But ideas die all the time, both from natural causes and murder. An example of ideaicide: Do you remember back in 2014 or so, what the hot-button political issue was? Sure, groups of all kinds were talking about all the usual stuff. Healthcare, defence, social security, racism, corruption… But you couldn’t go a day without someone talking about income inequality. Everyone compared graphs of this to charts of that. The Occupy movement had stirred up attention and it all settled on this. Then Trump decided to run for president. Obviously, that’s a tricky […]
Writing Web content is different from writing a book, magazine article, or brochure copy. We all know this. When writing Web content, you have to have one eye on SEO and another on the value and consistency of your content. However, it’s worth mentioning (and it may make you a better Web content writer) that reading online is also quite different from reading in print. Ever thought about it? How often do you read plain black text on a plain white screen when reading online? Almost never. There are distractions everywhere. Flashing banners. Bright images. Other browser tabs, including that […]

On this unforgettable day, also a hairdo day for Bena, there was no sound of federal jet fighters in the sky; the sun over the village of Akokwa had just set, permitting members of my family to congregate around the open backyard behind our house. As a child, you wouldn’t know that those moments were still wartime. Adults did not explain the inconsistencies—why, in the midst of hunger and anguish, families carried on with their daily lives, just as hate coexists with love. Using a wooden comb, Grandmother Elizabeth isolated moles, or crops of hair, on my sister’s scalp, tying […]

Barely and hour’s drive from Cape Town on the rugged West Coast, in a tranquil bay embroidered with scattered rocks, is the beautiful fishing village of Paternoster. With it’s picturesque white washed houses, green-grey veld and turquoise water, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’ve ended up in a remote hamlet somewhere on the Mediterranean coast. Then again, you won’t get anything more authentically South African than the local delicacy of bokkoms (salted, dried fish) – the seafood version of that other very South African treat, biltong. Being close to Cape Town, this predominantly Afrikaans-speaking village is a popular weekend getaway […]

Indian cricketers would continue to let down the Nation’s fans as ever Before; because they are part of a “Secular Team and not a National Team” I have been closely monitoring Indian cricket from quite sometimes now; but how deeply I was hurt when our team failed to qualify for World Cup and has forced me to carry out an insight analysis of the debacle. The team has not only played with the sentiments of over a billion people but also let down the National esteem as well. Some of my friends have even gone to extent of saying entire […]
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has been having brainstorming virtual sessions with all stakeholders on resumption of cricket in the past months under the shadow of the Coronavirus pandemic. Till now the Council has not been able to take a final call on the main issue of contention: when to hold the ICC T20 Cricket World Cup.

Now, the Indian cricket board, Board of Control for Cricket in India […]
