Pedal Power

CYCLE DRIVE Here’s something Indian cities could learn from the United Kingdom. London has launched a Cycle Superhighway to make more people commute via bicycles. Highly visible bright blue cycle lanes, symbolizing freedom, now run from the southern suburb of Merton to the city center, as well as from Barking, in eastern London. The remaining ten routes are eventually planned to radiate out from the centre of London like spokes, and will be finished by the end of 2015. Cycling has become an effective form of alternate transportation is congested metropolises like New York City and Paris. Promoting a pedal culture improves traffic conditions while lowering the city’s carbon footprint.

The Bold and the Beautiful

If there is one thing that Gita Gopinath’s success proves, it is that you don’t have to be ugly to succeed (‘India’s Next Gen Harvard Professor’). For long, beautiful women have been denigrated as bimbettes, and all sort of innuendos are implied if they happen to make a mark for themselves. To all those people who love beautiful women, as long as they never rise to the top, go attack the dons at Harvard. Tell us all the sleaze that went on behind the scenes before she could take up that permanent job at the university. If you can't so that kindly let beautiful women be-in India as well.

I'm a Sleepwalker

I saw a picture of you
Hanging in an empty hallway
I heard a voice that I knew
And I couldn't walk away
It took me back to the end
Of everything
I tasted all
I tasted all the tears
again

Outside the rain's fallin' down
There's not a drop that hits me
Scream at the sky but no sound
Is leavin' my lips
It's like I can't even feel
After the way you touched me
I'm not asleep but I'm not awake
After the way you loved me

I can't turn this around
I keep running into walls that I can't break down
I said I just wander around
With my eyes wide shut because of you
I'm a sleepwalker walker walker
I'm a sleepwalker walker walker

Let me out of this dream

Everywhere that I go
I see another memory


And all the places we used to know
They're always there to haunt me
I walk around and I feel so lost and lonely
You're everything that I want
But you don't want me

I can't turn this around
I keep running into walls that I can't break down
I said I just wander around
With my eyes wide shut because of you
I'm a sleepwalker walker walker
I'm a sleepwalker walker walker

Let me out of this dream, dream
Let me out of this dream
