		<description><![CDATA[This is the first of a series of posts wherein I will freely expound on how our telecom companies should and perhaps could be tamed - by egging them to adopt and offer newer technologies and services that will make yours and my life simpler. And, of course, our monthly bills a little lighter.

		<description><![CDATA[The Maharashtra chief minister is on record to say his state wants to bring down state sales tax on petrol and diesel. That&#8217;s good news. Now, guess why he wants to do it. Not because oil prices are down to $60 a barrel, not because he thinks you and I are getting squeezed every which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago I wrote about how Wikimapia was a huge benefit in a country like India where we had little or no mapping of relevance. Particularly the kind of digital and satellite maps you can zoom in and out of many parts of the world.
I don&#8217;t know about everyone else but many friends and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We rarely mourn the passing of the common man. I wrote an article about this in Business Standard  this morning. Following which, Sonam Kapadia wrote me a mail saying how &#8220;We never really grieved publicly for the loss of our citizens in a sustained manner. It is a short out pouring of emotion and that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 
People are up in arms over the Indian government&#8217;s decision to block `objectionable&#8217; sites and blogs. And rightfully so. However in doing so, I think many of us are missing the point by miles. To address the issue, you&#8217;ve got to define it. My sense is that many have failed to do so. Let me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday marked my first visit to the gas station  after the recent fuel price hikes. It was traumatic. Gazing at the rapidly ticking indicator, I began to feel a little dizzy. And felt my heart beat rising. Petrol in Mumbai city now costs Rs 54 + per litre.
Once upon a time, the pumps only displayed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last month, over the still waters of the South China Sea, on a Singapore Airlines morning service into Shanghai, a newspaper article caught my eye. It reported how China’s ATM system had collapsed the day before. For seven hours. Losses apparently touched upwards of a hundred million dollars.
I got a start. I was not carrying [...]]]></description>
