Peeling the Cosmic Onion – Unleash the Genie
10 March 2010
From India corespondent Divyaa Kummar… “There is a thought in your mind right now. The longer you hold on to it, the more you dwell upon it, the more life you give to that thought. Give it enough life, and it will become real. So make sure the thought is indeed a great one.” Thoughts matter – [...]

The Brady Report: The Impossible Dream
08 March 2010
Bipartisanship, in modern politics, is a lie – a falsehood, a hopeless dream, a fantasy based on nothing. And yet this doesn’t prevent either side of the political divide from using the idea of it as a tool for derision, division, and justification, even when those employing it know it to [...]

Tanzanian Tales from the Dark Side
07 March 2010
From Tanzania Correspondent Lute wa Lutengano… I have this tendency to surrender myself to the law enforcement officers in any town I visit and plan to spend a night or more. It is not that I am prone to breaking laws but rather I feel more secure when I know that the Police chiefs in [...]

Abaya House Rules
06 March 2010
From Saudi Arabian Corespondent Eman Al Nafjan… It’s true, abayas are regulated and policed. And I don’t only mean the PVPV trolling the malls shouting at women to cover. For a Saudi woman that’s minor when compared to what we have to go through at schools and colleges. You can gauge the political stance of the [...]

The Throws of Morality and The Secular Soldier
04 March 2010
From Filipino Congressman Mong Palatino… “Immoral” rock concerts were banned in Malaysia. An “immoral” gay group was disqualified from participating in the Philippine elections. Immorality was blamed for the natural disasters that hit Indonesia this year. It seems public authorities are playing the morality card to uphold the dominant social order in many Southeast Asian countries. To [...]

One thing we all know for sure is that despite our similarities, men and women and very different. A key difference between genders has always been how we socialize with one another.

The Brady Report: Just Do It
26 February 2010
It’s been over a year since the start of the healthcare debate, and for all the progress made there is little to yet show for it; however, President Obama released an outline for what he expects from a healthcare overhaul bill and while his direct intervention, however late, is welcome, it is not without problems.

Who Should America Invade Next?
23 February 2010
A YouTube comedy classic here, as random Americans on the street are stopped by a fake news reporter who is in fact part of an Australian TV program geared towards making fun of the United States.
