Do Fools Have Only One Day?

Gone are the days when youngsters would scheme to send gullible on a 'fool's errand' to mark April 1st, the most light-hearted day of the year when playing pranks and trying to get people to believe ridiculous things is universally accepted.

It is hard to imagine if the middle class of our times will trigger any revolutions.

क्या मकर संक्रांति ही है असली उत्तरायण है...?

We hope that this platform will continue to evolve and will help us understand the challenges of our fast changing times better and our role in these times.
