Islam is a good religion.
Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Christian “ism” are also good.
Only problem; how it is been followed;
followed by people; people of worshipers!
I am a hard fan of him since childhood (1984), when my father bought Billie Jean cassette player and I also paid relatively good amount to see his concert when he came to Mumbai in 1996.
It is news for millions of fans across the globe; but i felt sad when I saw when he changed his name to Mikaeel without knowing the sanctity of the name! It is just a name for some but when known people change their name on such occasions to such names; is a worrisome! Thinking about his past doings; whether he was wrong; not sure to anyone though !
If he did this to promote his new music; then okay since centuries people changed their names to resemble their art and culture but not sure whether he made a mistake by doing that in this century; especially so much going on in the name of religion!

Secular Face of America
Congratulations to first black American President Barack Obama (Barack Hussein Obama) !
During Democratic Presidential debate in Las Vegas; there was allegation around in internet and other media that he is a secret Muslim who worships Koran. There was deeply acrimonious dispute between Hillary and Obama over the issue of race.
Spreading rumors about a president nominee is not a good thing; but it is sad when a President nominee (now elected President) had to prove that he is Christian and he worships only Bible. He had to prove his membership of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ.
America upholds religious freedom; but world convinced that America cannot afford to give highest office in their country to a non-christian.
Just another face of American secularism!

The White Tiger - Aravind Adiga
The White Tiger - Aravind Adiga.
He won Man Booker Prize for his debut novel, The White Tiger.
The story about a person arrving in Delhi and realises that he is in a trap and has to find his way out. When you read; you may find such type stories in many Indian vernacular languages; but this could be something different that everyone can enjoy. The modern Delhi is seen through the eyes of Balram.
