My six years old niece Alisha attends a private school in London. It has a very diverse student profile, from different backgrounds, nationalities and faith. Last week, during lunch in the school cafeteria, the children were served a choice of food, which included beef & mash. Now Alisha has no food restrictions or preferences. In [...]

For the fourth time in the past three months, I watched the stand up comedic shows at The Comedy Store in Mumbai, a franchise of the original English enterprise by the same name.

Alice must have turned forty. The only reason to justify going through the looking glass is to [...]
