Why we do what we do

In other words, the reasons for our super-obsession with criticising India!

The arguments were intense. Half of our editorial team was arguing for running a purely national Scrutiny section, as opposed to covering international stories too. And half was arguing against the premise, debating that we should cover even international stories. The only problem was, they were the same halves! In other words [if you’re not thoroughly confused already], while one half was arguing for and against the same issue, the other half was thoroughly disinterested in having to do anything with it! Well, we were tickled breathless – we kid you not, it’s the same case with India. While one half of us Indians are busy inanely arguing for and against issues without understanding what stand to take, the other (illiterate?) 600 million odd half is busier organising the daily meal, finding out a place to defecate, ensuring that the girl child & lady of the house don’t get raped, and of course, ensuring death doesn’t become a family issue this week.....Continue

This is a huge problem—not just for users, but for businesses. Here, at PC Magazine Labs, we’re in the process of phasing out the last of our old CRT monitors and replacing them with LCDs. CRT monitors contain a huge amount of toxic lead. We’re talking 8 pounds a pop, if you consider all the glass, frit and solder in a big CRT.

Who takes the blame for this?

The annual rate of depletion of vegetation is estimated to be around 1.5 sq. kms per year. The proliferation of stone quarries and stone crushers in India’s continuing quest to exploit its natural resources to the maximum has ensured that entire landscapes, erstwhile populated by various tribes, have regularly been converted into vast areas full of pits, where nothing can be produced and cultivated. Worse, the winds carrying stone dust from these machines, apart from causing cancer and other fatal lung diseases, pollutes the air, reduces the fertility of the soil and collectively gives rise to large-scale soil erosion, effectively hitting the tribals where it hurts the hardest.
