Hi there! My full name is Vasudevan Srinivasan, and friends call me Vasu. I am from India, and after living in different parts of India, and abroad, I live in Basle, Switzerland. I love talking / writing about travels, experiences, views. I’ve been fortunate to have a wonderful life. It has taken me to quite a few places, and given me terrific companions through this journey. It has also thrown many challenges at me, which have helped me learn and grow stronger. This blog is an attempt to capture whatever I experience in life, and share the stories and insights! I like to write about anything under the sun that catches my imagination, so you would find a variety of f topics I blog on. They could range from profound to silly. Please feel free to leave a comment & provide a rating for any post you liked. Bouquets, brickbats, or any random thoughts can be addressed to raghu1981@gmail.com.

Contrarian views on the leadership challenge that is affecting India’s anti-corruption debate

As I was following news updates on India’s 64th Independence day, it was nearly impossible to miss that anger against the omnipresent corruption, was the dominant theme across the country.

Why an Indian win in the cricket world cup 2011, would prevent China taking over the ICC in 2027

This is a rapidly typed-out, tongue-in-cheek, meant to be taken lightly, collection of thoughts on the up coming cricket world cup in India. (I am not using the ICC or sponsor’s name share, as they don’t pay me to advertise their name on my blog! For the record I actually don’t know if it is [...]

Lessons for “V d Tweeple” & “We the people” on forging India ahead

 “Kuch Kar Guzarne ko khoon chala, koon chala” (The blood stirred to do something), is an immensely inspirational song from the Hindi film “Rang De Basanti”. Over the last few weeks, my blood has been boiling, rather than stir, at an immense sense of shame over being a mute spectator to India’s can
