The limelight had been on Asia last decade however hard one tries to conceal that. Be it the good side or the bad one, Asia had been in news for the last one decade. This articles is not just because I have to write on Asia, but this discussion cannot be left ignored, when the superpowers are rising on this side. So checking into the events that led to this radical change and the important ones that changed the continent.

Giant leaps with crucial Copenhagen

The world has understood that nothing was fabricated and nothing can be looked down. The ground under the penguins are giving way, the sea would hide the Maldivian lands, the rivers would never flow as they were, the world is warming up and carbon emissions are the infernos. Even the release of intercepted calls between the US and UK scientists stating the statistics to be illegitimate was never bothered. Mr. Pachauri who warned that the calculations were wrong, but the world is sinking faster than we had ever thought was accepted. World is changing and the countries have proclaimed their goals well before the summit.

Ahead of Copenhagen: The world melts

United Nations Climate Change Conference has been seen multiple times with Hollywood presidents and British Prime Minister stealing the show. But as of reality the new world is appeasing the orientals and the dark continent to come to a consensus in the actual one which is to take place this December 7th in Copenhagen. But [...]

Hot Chicken captures White House

“You are what we call a Hot Chicken” This was what the US Vice President Joe Biden quoted to Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh after his visit to the White House and oration which revealed his great erudition.

Obama soft on China: Support to Asia

US President Barack Obama is on his first presidential visit to the largest and the emerging superpower continent. He seems to tie a knot billing himself as the America’s first ‘Pacific President’. He promised an engaged US role in charting Asia’s future whilst making clear that US did not want to contain emerging China.

Film festival of the masses: IFFK

With less than a month ahead, 14th International Film Festival of Kerala scheduled to be held in Thiruvananthapuram from December 11-18, has started issuing delegate passes. Even though, not a limelight hit, this is one of the most expected and most favorite film festival of all directors across the world. The best in the two worlds are selected for the festival with no power ranking above quality and artwork. The Golden Crow Pheasant award is thus a credit to the makers of good cinema.

Aung San Suu Kyi Release: A distant dream?

Online shopping is going a steep upward curve and so is the internet banking. Now the sale of railway tickets via internet has touched record figures. The whopping figures markedly feature the grudge against standing in long queues which would be a common site anywhere in India.
But the movement towards the technology side has made quite fertile fields for the spammers to harvest upon. Hacking and spamming is on the rise from this part of the world which mostly aims at the Indians themselves. Being new entrants they would be more susceptible to these online thefts.

Painting Indian Soil Red

Long has been the Indo-China Wars which has led to many a change in the political and economic climate of the South and East Asian region.
