Of Photo Shoots, Railway Stations and A Greedy Cop
On Sunday, 2nd November 2008, the members of our band Arth and our friend Shrenik headed to the KR Puram railway station on Old Madras Road in order to get some photos that we intend to put up wherever we need band photographs.

The Ugly Face of Regional Politics
The resounding 320 run victory over Australia in Mohali has been overshadowed today by news channels focussing primarily on Raj Thackeray's arrest and the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena party's violent attacks on North Indians who were appearing for the railway examination a few days ago.
