		<description><![CDATA[General Sundarji&#8217;s weekly column in Hindu was not the only reason why I was fascinated by the Army. I read every single of those columns that appeared in The Hindu. I liked the name, Generally Speaking. I liked the wordplay in it. The Week magazine had the Colonel&#8217;s column. This gentleman was anonymous. He still [...]

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s 8pm now. In sometime, as per the wishes of WWF and various other (non)governmental organizations, thousands of &#8220;urban upper and middle classes will turn their lights off expressing solidarity for a pressing global issue like climate change&#8220;.
