See the fireworks I created by blogging on WordPress.Com – My 2012 annual report.

I am essentially a hobby blogger, blogging primarily to share my personal views on what I read.

I would now take up a few regular activities – an article on blogs that I read on Hindi Film Music, in the format of a carnival; a similar article on Quality Management and an article on Leadership Development Carnival ( primarily hosted by Dan McCarthy. I would begin from January 2013.

Of course, he chose to play several other, usually not very poular, raags. That was his inner creative urge, and perhaps, his non-conformist core.

JFK's Funeral: Photos From Arlington Cemetery

Reblogged from LIFE:

Five decades later, the assassination of John F. Kennedy remains one of the few utterly signal events from the second half of the 20th century. Other moments — some thrilling (the moon landing, the fall of the Berlin Wall), others horrifying (the killings of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy, the Challenger explosion) — have secured their places in the history books and, even more indelibly, in the memories of those who witnessed them.
