If I may suggest, please read 2008 Mumbai attack and see if there are really any parallels. There is a difference when someone from a foreign land acquire weapons outside and attacks you (unless I am missing the point you are trying to make

India a country of 1.3 billion people, has its own share of law and order issues but never in my life I heard anything like this. Thanks to Britain, we have anti gun legislation from the colonial era, though the reasons were different back

I really admire that. There is stigma attached to second-hand clothes, at least in India. If you can afford it, it is almost unacceptable to wear second hand clothes, especially outside family and friends.

The fact that Facebook walls are visible to everyone, any controversial topic usually gets reaction from both sides. Whatsapp groups are formed based on likemindedness (I am excluding core family and friends). I call these groups echo-pipes

English is my second language, and I do same mistakes with “a”, “an” and “the”. Though I try to stay grammatically correct, I often get corrected by my daughter, who is more exposed to English than I was at her age. I am sure someone can po

Ripple coin can [potentially] provide single currency for banks operating across the globe, if it is able to get wider acceptance and ensure low volatility. I too have my doubts but this[1] post explains it well. [1] https://medi

Bubble or not, one obvious difference with cryptocurrencies is, it is not limited to a geography or a country. I hesitate to use the term “insurance” but the risk is spread across the globe. That plus the freedom to get into it (and leave)
