Home Building blocks of life
ROOPSHA DASGUUPTA RAY My fiancé recently told me that she had sex with her first cousin who lives in London. I'm not being able to come to terms since hearing this. What should I do? Name withheld, Noida I think you should be happy that she has told you everything and hasn't kept you in the dark. You should also respect her honesty and let go of the past. It will be a bit difficult but the ghosts of...

Home Scintillating cascades of the Great Falls
Chitra Ramaswamy It's early afternoon of the second day since we arrived in Washington and we are lounging in the porch of my brother's palatial residence in Maryland. A bruised and swollen March sky threatens a downpour even as the giant star above attempts to pierce the dense clouds to display its brilliance. A solitary bird wheels in circles on the vast canvas above us, unmindful of the...

Home Muharram: A tale of tears
Zafar Abbas You may have noticed a holiday on the tenth day of Muharram, the day of Ashura, and wondered what significance this day must hold for the people who prepare and walk with their tazias (replicas of the mausoleum of Imam Hussain) and participate in processions, mostly adorning black with feet left bare. A closer glimpse at the congregation will reveal many sombre eyes, brimming with tears. Though the reason...

Home Holistic veterinary care
Team MP Three years ago I took my 18-month-old female Pomeranian to the vet after a small scab came off her shoulder area. The hair has not only never grown back but the spot has become larger. I can see tiny red spots around the perimeter of the hairless area. The condition you are describing is focal alopecia which is a localised area of hair loss on a dog. Pyotraumatic dermatitis, also known as "hot...

Home Lost in the Echo: Hansraj Behl
Sharad Dutt Hansraj Behl was the most creative, intense and talented composer in the mid-40s and early 80s. Yet, he didn't get the recognition due to him which he rightly deserved. He composed several all-time great hits. His singers respected and revered him. Unfortunately, he was lost to anonymity. Hansraj Behl was born on November 19, 1916, in Sheikhupura in Punjab (now in Pakistan). His father Nihal...

Home The Barmer Model of Development
Radhika Dutt Even a decade ago, Barmer was marked only by distant stretches of undulating sand - typical to the Great Indian Thar - that was intercepted intermittently by thorny shrubs and a few locals who had dared to challenge the region's glaring halo. Located on the western border of Rajasthan, adjacent to Pakistan, this faraway district was fearfully called kaalapaani, reminiscent of the eponymous...

Home CANADA: A traveller's delight
Prarthana Mishra I got a taste of the friendliness and charming demeanour typical to Canada as soon as I stepped into Montreal, where our flight had landed. Limping with a twisted angle, I had difficulty in walking and an airport worker immediately rushed to guide me to an elevator and thereon to the immigration area. This was in great contrast to the treatment I received at the previous airport where we had a...
