SEBI's Sweetener For Start-ups: Don't Pop The Champagne Yet
Ravi Narayan | 8 July 2015
The boost offered to start-ups by the Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is a good move to encourage new enterprises to list in India. It holds the promise of providing start-ups with alternative routes to capital, relaxation in disclosure norms of funds accumulated, simplified bidding, e-IPO, lock-in of entire pre-issue capital and definition of promoters. These measures are very positive and indicate more progressive thinking within the SEBI and other governmental organisations. But it may not be enough, unless several other associated measures are put in place as well.

On a rain drenched afternoon in Mumbai, I traversed the length of the city to visit two different centres for scientific research - one a laboratory at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, stacked with cryogenic cooling chambers and microchip etching equipment to observe in a non-intrusive way the workings...
'Dad, Are Muslims Our Enemies?'
Darshan Mondkar | 8 July 2015
"Dad, are Muslims our enemies?" I dropped my book on my lap and looked up with my best WTF look on my face. My 8-year-old son was standing in the front of me, his hands on his hips. "Why do you ask that?" I said. He frowned, "We have this guy Altaf in our class and everyone says he is our enemy because he is a Muslim. No one sits with him anymore and we are going to beat him up tomorrow in the recess."
Deciding To Heal From Child Sexual Abuse, Part I
Eirliani Abdul Rahman | 8 July 2015
Child sexual abuse can affect every aspect of your life but it may be difficult to say exactly how it may have damaged you: perhaps it caused your lack of self-confidence, your issues with trust and boundaries, challenges when it comes to intimate relationships, your sexuality and/or your difficulties with parenting.
Work-Life Balance Is A Myth For Mothers With Careers
Lolita Chattoraj Sengupta | 8 July 2015
I have a fridge magnet which says: "There is no such thing as a non-working mother". But try being a mother who has a full-time job outside the home as well. And while your male colleagues will always tell you that it is all about time/stress management, I can guarantee you at least 80% of them go home to get ready-made tea, meals and welcome hugs from nicely bathed, cute children.
Photos: My Introduction To Street Photography In India
Craig Boehman | 8 July 2015
My introduction to street photography, in all its raw and rugged glory, left its mark. I finally discovered a niche that I could embrace. What followed next was photographic awakening during a trip to Kolkata.

To function in Dhaka, you need to be privy to certain scientific processes. Sounds absurd? Not necessarily - after all, the city is 75% and 67% more dense than Hong Kong and Mumbai respectively, with 115,000 people per square mile, and survival is a tricky game. And sorry Dr Einstein, the types of innovations on which Dhaka thrives are engendered by the likes of slum dwellers and local bus conductors.

For renowned Bollywood session musician and electronic music pioneer Charanjit Singh, Saturday was a normal day. He had spent the day resting, practicing on his keyboard with his headphones on and had ended it by having dinner with his family at his residence in Mumbai's Bandra area. The 75-year-old veteran...
How Is 'Papanasam' Different From The Original 'Drishyam'?
Karthik Subramanian | 7 July 2015
Many reviewers, recounting purely from their memory, have said Papanasam stays true to the original. Even I wrote that on my blog, but after watching it again just now, I have to say there are more differences that I had originally thought.
Kamal Haasan's 'Papanasam' Is Basically A Dated And Melodramatic Retelling Of Mohanlal's 'Drishyam'
Monty Majeed | 7 July 2015
Papanasam is the perfect example of how adding melodrama to an already potent script weakens it despite having good performers on board. It could also be a reflection of Malayali director Jeethu Joseph's misunderstanding or underestimation of the Tamil audience.
This Modi Government Initiative Can Be A Game Changer For India's Farm Market

In most states, mandis are established and regulated under the State APMC (Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee) Acts. The state's geographical area is divided into smaller market areas, where the markets are managed by Market Committees constituted by the state government. A system of licenses bars the entry of traders from other states and other mandis. Since there is no mechanism for clearing and settlement of dues, no one does business with strangers. In short, these mandis are the place where politics meets economics in the agrarian economy.
Is Vitamin D Deficiency India's Latest Epidemic?
Gopika Kaul | 7 July 2015
It is a truth universally acknowledged that behind every ache and pain, lies a deficiency. Well, mostly. If you've been waking up tired, have knees that creak, have unexplained aches or mood swings, or have a child who is overly cranky, a sister who gets more migraines than Malaysian...
Why India Is Not Yet Ready For Gay Marriage
Aditya Karkera | 7 July 2015
And that is why we won't have gay marriage in India soon - at least for another generation. Because we are blinded by the love of a civilisation we don't even understand. We march to protect ideas that our religions never prescribed, and we beat our chests to protest ideals that our religions embellished.
Why Democratic Afghanistan Will Never Truly Trust Pakistan
S.Mubashir Noor | 7 July 2015
Though Afghanistan and Pakistan have historical issues dating back to 1947, their present impasse is summed up easily. Kabul claims Islamabad does not want democracy in Afghanistan, while Islamabad believes Afghan democracy has no future. It is a thin line with massive consequences.
Work Permits For Spouses of H1-B Visa Holders Will Help Families, Economy
Sonia Chopra | 7 July 2015
The news that the United States has finally decided to amend its regulations to allow the dependent spouses of the specialised H-1B visa holders to work was hailed with jubilation by Indian Americans. Technology companies have lobbied hard for this change, which they say will retain and attract more foreign talent and their educated spouses.

While traditional Iftar treats continue to woo our taste buds, it is perhaps time to try out something different. Here are 10 innovative dishes that you can whip up in your kitchen for your next Iftar get-together.
On India's Roads, Saffron And Green Are The Colours Of Danger
Nikhil G Nair | 7 July 2015
A year ago the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) painted many of the kerb stones along the road and median in saffron and green instead of the earlier white/yellow and black. Now, the Delhi Traffic Police have asked that the colours be restored to yellow and black. The standard colours are provided for a reason - they are easily visible and thus help prevent road accidents.
Why India Will Not Pursue the Saurabh Kalia Case In International Court
Abhishek Mishra | 6 July 2015
Sixteen years have passed since the alleged torture death of Captain Saurabh Kalia at the hands of Pakistani soldiers during the Kargil War of 1999. Kalia's father has garnered tremendous support for his online petition urging the Indian government to take the case to the International Court of Justice (ICJ). So far, though, the government has refused to budge, stating that such a move would be "impractical". Here I will attempt to succinctly provide an overview of international law as it applies in this case, as well as its limitations.

It is no longer enough to buy a comfy sofa or two, a large bed, and a few appliances to make a home truly liveable. And if you're constructing a house, you need to think beyond cement and paint and square footage.
Why 2 Degrees Of Global Warming Is Still Too Much
Pari Trivedi | 6 July 2015
In the most recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, climate scientists and experts have concluded that we should aim to limit global warming to 1.5°C; the former number of 2°C has been deemed inadequate and unsafe.
