By Vijay Darda | 10-02-2014 One of Satya Nadella’s college mates Faiz Khan has described him as software’s Sachin Tendulkar. We do not know much about Sachin’s links with software, but then Satya was a cricketer during his school days. But the link is very interesting. Satya became the chief executive officer (CEO) of the $ 78 billion pioneering
By Vijay Darda | 03-02-2014 The Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi made himself available to the most intense grilling at the hands of the country’s acutely aggressive television anchor for over 80 minutes. There was no question under the Sun that was not put to him, and by any standards it went on for such a long time that is
By Vijay Darda | 28-01-2014 In recent times we have seen a flurry of some very unbecoming public conversations. There has been the scenario of the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi daring the Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav to transform UP into a Gujarat, and then observing that the latter cannot do it, because it requires a
By Vijay Darda | 20-01-2014 There was never any doubt about it, but you get a confirmation only when such things actually happen. So, Rahul Gandhi, the great grandson of India’s first prime minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru took over the leadership of the Indian National Congress last week. He is following the illustrious footsteps of his father Rajiv, and
By Vijay Darda | 13-01-2014 Now that the dust has settled and the Indian Foreign Service officer Devyani Khobragade has come back from New York with her ‘head held high’ as her lawyer claimed, it is time for a cooler reflection for the wise heads that supposedly decide the course of relationship between the two biggest democracies in the
By Vijay Darda | 06-01-2014 Way back in the 1980s, it was the then prime minister Rajiv Gandhi who spoke of India marching into the 21st century on the wings of information technology. The rest of the world scoffed at him. When he spoke about computers, the rest of the politicians used to argue about the negative impact they
By Vijay Darda | 30-12-2013 Landmark events are seldom neatly compartmentalized into calendar years. The now departing 2013 calendar year also fits into this description. We entered the year under the shadow of that grim gang-rape of the 23 year old Delhi brave heart whose name has been sadly buried under our complex attitudinal fault lines, whereas the whole
By Vijay Darda | 23-12-2013 Over the last few years, the Indian political class, especially the parliamentarians have been at the receiving end of the stick. We have been rapped for every possible cause. As a parliamentarian, I reserve my judgment about the quality of criticism. But I have no hesitation in asserting that when the parliament gets its
By Vijay Darda | 16-12-2013 At times, it is instructive to look back at things to have an assessment of the future. For instance, three years ago no one could have foreseen the rise of a party called the Aam Aadmi Party as the main fulcrum of power in the city state of Delhi. For the simple reason that
