Signature Room

Chicago’s skyline is like that classic Marilyn Monroe dress - up and down all around. The second tallest building in the city, after the Sears tower, is the John Hancock. The 95th floor in the building houses a trade mark restaurant that is christened as the ‘Signature room’. I had some friends visiting me recently and we made reservations to the signature room on a perfect Friday night.

South Asia and around - Past, Present and no Future.

The belt from Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka is the most destructive, gullible and complex region in the world.

As far as I am concerned, I believe in the theory of solving it ourselves. For a …
