Writer's Block

The best way to overcome writer's block is to keep on writing...even if your writing sucks (for a while)....and then eventually you will get your magic touch back and regain your literary form. Writing is a journey and not the destination - otherwise the correct terminology would have been "Wrote" or something like that. Writing is the present...it is the work that is always alive even when the writer passes on to the next world. So, all you writer's out there keep on writing no matter what happens around you.

    Yes...your write up is just fit to create an example of life. If one stops breathing he can't live so even if it is difficult for him to breathe, he should keep breathing.

Will GST Be Beneficial for Consumers in India?

GST will almost certainly be passed in the monsoon session of parliament. It will be wonderful news for the union and state governments, the economists, the political parties who will rush to claim credit (not input credit) for its passage and the businessmen who will no longer be harassed by multiple tax authorities and will find the new tax system extremely streamlined with fewer hassles. But what's in store for the consumers? Not very good news, I m afraid. The tax rates for goods and services may be 20% or higher and it is bound to lead to inflation, at least in the short term. GST may have a profound impact on Indian eCommerce as all online transactions would be subject to this tax. Then there is the recommendation of 40% GST on aerated drinks as a form of sin tax since these drinks are considered unhealthy. I found this a ridiculous argument as it will open a pandora s box and make taxation in India arbitrary, judgmental and discriminatory. And finally the most stupid recomm...

An Excerpt from "The Heavensgate Scandal" (A Short Story by Vivek Pereira)

It was a hot flinter aftermoon on the Planet Zrrxy. The God shield had been switched on while the Tellicans discussed a top-secret mission. This shield was used by the inhabitants to ward off the presence of the almighty from the vicinity of their planet. Nothing, no sound, light or matter could penetrate this shield. It was the ultimate invention. The Tellicans were a creative race whose influence had spread throughout the universe. There are many wild rumors about this ambitious race. Some say that they are the aliens who hover around the planet earth in flying saucers with the intention of monitoring the progress of humanity on the planet earth. Some even say that the Supreme Being was created by this technologically advanced race. These Tellicans were alleged to possess the most dangerous of all inventions viz. The Universe Reverser. This device could reverse the effect of the Big Bang so that the whole Universe would collapse into a tiny, primeval atom, and ultimate...
