Dear All: Due to work constraints and travels, I will be somewhat irregular and less active on the blog for the next several weeks..I do hope to remain more regular (and active) on twitter and facebook though…Do join the ||Satyameva Jayate|| page on facebook if you have not already done so.. During this time, there may be some delay in moderating and responding to your comments.
In the meantime, I am putting this post here which should show my most recent tweets everyday..Comments and suggestions welcome as always…Thanks for your support …

Last week, I had the great honour of meeting Sh Rajaram Shreedhar – the indefatigable spirit and a truly INSPIRING man behind Maithri…For those of you who may not have heard about Shreedhar and his awe-inspiring (and humbling) work, here is a bit of background (emphasis added)..
When Rajaram Shreedhar was 18 months of age, he suffered a polio attack, which left his left hand and both his legs paralyzed. His parents tried every remedy to cure him and provided all the best possible treatment available in those days. They had …

Dear All: If you are a long-time reader or a regular visitor (and even if you just a casual visitor), you may have realised by now that this blog is not related to Aamir Khan’s show on TV that debuted today.
I admire Aamir Khan as an actor and I am glad he is using his skills & talent combined with the powerful medium of TV to bring more awareness about social issues. That said, neither I nor this blog has anything to do with his efforts.  For those of you …

Earlier today, I stumbled on this quote by Aamir Khan (in the context of his upcoming serial “Satyamev Jayate”):

..we are not here to make a change. I am no one to change anything.
I don’t think I am in the position to change anything..

I am very disappointed..This “helplessness” is alien to Bharat.. I wish Aamir would have read Swami Vivekananda..in particular..

Ye are the children of God..the sharers of immortal bliss, holy and perfect beings.
Ye divinities on earth – sinners!  It is a sin to call man so; it is a standing …

…or the Great Joke that is Indian Media, Part XIX.. Please take out a few minutes from your schedule to watch this 7-min clip from IBN on the Bofors Scandal (or as a shortcut, just look at the image below)

Notice anything odd?
If you did, pat yourself on the back! What you noticed (if you did) is a fine (if somewhat blatant) example of subliminal messaging.. What is that? I hear you say…Well, pl watch the clip again..this time more carefully..particularly from 4:46 onwards..
Now tell me, notice anything odd? No? OK, here …

Sometime during the last 24 hours, the Satyameva Jayate page on facebook crossed the “magical” 10,000 members mark!
Today we are 10,000 and more..
10,000 proud, committed and concerned Indians who are trying in their own little ways to “Reclaim India” – One Step at a Time..
This is a special and proud day for me – and it fills me wih renewed hope, faith and confidence that we will win this fight.
Thank you all for keeping the fire burning and for keeping the dream alive…

Please share this page woth your friends, family …

This is the story of one indefatigable man and his diligent quest for truth…
How many of you remember this “news” from almost two years ago? Praful Patel’s daughter pulled out scheduled AI flight for IPL (emphasis added)?
A Delhi to Coimbatore Air India flight, IC 7603, scheduled to leave at 5.20am on April 20, was aborted less than 12 hours before its departure to allow the aircraft to be deployed as a chartered flight for ferrying civil aviation minister Praful Patel’s daughter, Poorna Patel, and some IPL players from Chandigarh to …

Those of you who read Guy Kawasaki may have read his post published last year on “What I Learned from Steve Jobs“. One of the sentences in that post caught my eye…and has stayed at the back of my mind ever since (emphasis added)…

…the starting point of changing the world is changing a few minds.
This is the greatest lesson of all that I learned from Steve..
A similar thought was the inspiration behind the blog – all the way back in 2004!
We have come a long way since then…Thanks to …

This post was finally triggered by this tweet from Bibek Debroy:
Is it true that anti-govt tweets are being censored/deleted?
Now, I am not sure whether this is actually happening or not (would not surprise me)…but in the spirit of being fore-warned = fore-armed etc., here are a few tips and suggestions…
