‘Himalayasia’: Can a Mountain Range Give South Asia the Identity It Never Had?
Whether or not “Himalayasia” ever catches on as a name, the underlying question it poses is a serious one for a region that houses a quarter of the world’s population, spends tens of billions of dollars a year arming itself against its own neighbors, and still trades more easily with the far side of the globe than across its own borders
South Asia Needs Cross-Border Internships, Not Only Degrees Abroad

The Ship of Life
On the sands where I now stand
The grains can bear my weight no more,
Let’s Treat The Past
Let’s treat the past with warmth and care,
For with every single passing day,
Blessings
May your skies be clear and blue,
Your nights and days forever true,
When Eyes are Moist and the Heart Bleeds
When eyes are moist and the heart bleeds
And, sorrow reigns supreme,
Very, Very, Random Thoughts
Old Age is a bloody curse
There, surely, can’t be very much worse,
Happy New Year
Look at the Blue Skies
Enjoy Paradise,
Sunrise Lost in the Haze
Don’t let anyone near the Soul
They may only wish to tarnish it,
How Green Was My Valley
Cry not, faint heart,
Light up the present alley,
There is no smoke without a fire
Nothing’s achieved without desire, Ambition’s not the same as greed To the difference, we must pay heed.
