The Elephant in the Room

Being an accidental ambassador is probably hard no matter where you’re from, but I believe India makes it particularly difficult.

Oh, for a Book to Ban!

‘Satanic Verses’ was banned 20 years ago. In all the navel-gazing contemporary Indian fiction, where’s the book that has the power to offend?

A Girl Called Meera

Meera’s story challenges the hypocrisies of the liberal-minded swish set in exactly the same way as Rakhi Sawant’s does.

Out of Thin Air

This film offers many of the old-fashioned pleasures of the documentary: it takes us to an unfamiliar place and tells us an unknown story. In this case it’s also an unexpected story.

Zicom Alarm

You may not have enough time to react if someone tries to snatch your bag. The Personal Safety Alarm is a small gadget that you can tie to your bag and your wrist. If someone tries to pull the bag, the alarm lets out a loud noise. Its string is made of nylon and can easily be cut, hence it may not offer much security from someone pulling your bag. Alternatively, the ailing elderly can wear it around their neck and pull the string in case of an emergency.
