LET’S FACE IT
Those on death row face the wall, before being shot in the back. Police also frisk criminals while making them face a wall. Never a pleasant experience. Even in Jerusalem the Jews face the Western or Wailing Wall, to mourn what remains of Solomon’s magnificent Temple, the abode of the Ark of the Covenant. The…

FOOLS NEVER DIE
While searching for a book in my library this title caught my eye: “Fools Die”, by Mario Puzo, of “The Godfather” fame. Its opening line is even more telling. “Listen to me. I will tell you the truth about a man’s life”. I have not read the novel, but the commissioning of this article pushed…

HOW MANY ENGINES REQUIRED?
The Assembly elections in Karnataka and the Municipal ones in U.P. are done and dusted. I had written about their significance in my earlier piece, “Andh Bhakts Abound”. My observations seem to have been on target, especially in my home State of U.P. In Karnataka there was talk of a double engine sarkar and in…
