		<description><![CDATA[The problem with this world is globalisation. Recently I travelled to London on holiday and was going to stopover at Dubai where my three-year-old neice Anika lives. Most of my London trip was spent thinking about that perfect gift I could buy for her.
I looked high and low and then some. Finally running out of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have never booked, bought or done any deals ever over the Internet. I am still not sure that these transactions are safe. Hence, the reluctance. But now I wish I wasn&#8217;t this reluctant or untrusting of financial transactions on the Net.
I have been trying to plan and figure out a holiday which required getting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having lived all my life in India, I am still amazed at how inefficient we are as a country. Recently I decided to get my mother&#8217;s passport renewed and we duly filled out the reissue (as the MEA classifies a renewal) form. My mother, who is 73 years old and unable due to several health [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before it gets better, it gets worse. The Delhi Metro promises that commuting in the capital will become better once it&#8217;s fully operational. Ha, that happy dream of life becoming better. Yesterday, on my way to an appointment in Haus Khas enclave, I drove down Aurbindo Marg, thinking that I would make it on time. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Had Jarnail Singh, the journalist who threw a shoe at the home minister today, been a woman, he would never have done that. Empirical evidence (which frankly, dear readers to me is the same as well-crafted studies) suggests that the female of the species is deeply in love with footwear. Ask any modern woman how [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the film, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Benjamin played by Brad Pitt says, &#8220;It isn&#8217;t so bad to be old&#8221;. In India, till quite recently, old age was seen as a time for well-earned repose. The old were seen to be wise and worthy of respect. Today, old are seen to be dispensible. [...]]]></description>
