It&#8217;s been a really long time since I last uploaded a post on my blog. Have written quite a few interesting articles in the meantime for DNA. I promise I shall diligently post them over the next few weeks. For now, let&#8217;s start with Balti Dal. This was for a new column in DNA Sunday [...]]]></description>

Which is worse — losing a small portion of a forest to oil palm agriculture, or selectively logging a large part of the forest? Such questions regarding tradeoffs involved in economic development and environmental conservation are being asked with increasing frequency today — especially in Asia, South America and Africa, which are home to pristine [...]]]></description>

In what I hope will become a tradition, for the second year in a row I went to the sea face at Worli just as the monsoon was coming up over Mumbai. It&#8217;s a lovely time to be there, to say the least. What follows is a random collection of thoughts that went through my [...]]]></description>

Ever since Dr Craig Venter announced in a paper in Science about how his team had managed to insert a synthetic DNA into a bacteria and the bacteria then had multiplied, the world has gone gaga over the dawn of synthetic life. The reaction from fellow scientists, however, has been more subdued. In a story [...]]]></description>

Facebook began in 2005 as a simple and effective collaborative tool. But today, as it gets set to register its 500 millionth user, the social networking giant is cashing in on all personal data that people are posting there, mostly without permission. 
‘Relax,’ said the night man,
‘We are programmed to receive.

VKAPADIA is the (virtual) owner of Marine Drive. A premium property in Mumbai, you would expect him to earn hefty rents from the buildings he has constructed on the road, which includesa &#8216;four-sided fortress&#8217; next to Taraporewala Aquarium. Unfortunately for him, a rival built a sewage plant at Girgaum Chowpatty, and as a result VKAPADIA [...]]]></description>

[From DNA]
Portability and power consumption have become the buzzwords for laptop computers off late. This explains why netbooks have enjoyed runaway success: With 10-12inch screen and processors such as the Intel Atom which consumer lesser power, netbooks are light and last longer on a single charge. On the other hand, their processing power is much [...]]]></description>

I met two Counter Strike clans for a story in DNA &#8212; Clan [WTFs] and Clan A+E. The latter is considered the best CS clan in India right now.

It&#8217;s been awhile since I tried cooking something new on a Sunday. Yesterday, I decided to prepare a dish completely on instinct. The inspiration was a simple potato and mushroom fry that I had for breakfast recently at a friend&#8217;s place.
While the preparation I had was a simple fry with salt and pepper to taste, [...]]]></description>

This week, we carried a series of special supplements in DNA to mark the newspaper&#8217;s 4th anniversary. In one such supplement, the Sunday team (which I am part of) covered the cities myriad communities&#8230; but with a twist. We decided to cover the communities through the food that they eat.
