Che' Guevara




I generally bring a map of the country that I travel to, get it framed and put it in on the wall of my living room. As you see, I made an exception in case of Cuba.

A retired life... ...


Australian cricket team

My God what arrogance did the Australian cricket team have all these years!....Next time this team comes to India for a test series, we may do well to request them to play with our Under 19 team first....

Le Corbusier's 'Governor's Palace, Chandigarh'

I was amused to read the article "Chandigarh's Unbuilt Monument" in The Tribune, January 10, 2013. The article talks about and provides a photograph of a model of the 'unbuilt' Governor's Palace kept in the City Architecture Museum, Chandigarh.

As a layman, the model looks to be just terrible! The nearest in aesthetics that I can think of is Shri Mukesh Ambani's multi-stored house in Mumbai.

Personally I am so glad that some one put his foot down and tax-payer's money was not wasted and that the 'Palace' was 'unbuilt' before it could be 'built!
