Stranger in a strange land: Hyderabad style

The tale of the cougar and the cub: a media myth
Gabrielle Solis, (Eva Longoria) Parker, from “Desperate Housewives” made John Rowland’s (Jeff Metcalfe) being a handyman gardener look like the best vocation ever.

Left Behind: a tale of an unsettled Take Five Scholar
Professor Udo Fehn walked into his class every Tuesday and Thursday, clad in suit and tie and carrying a brown, boxy briefcase. He would set down the case and stroll over to the projector controls, turn it on, pull out his laptop and promptly start the lesson. His jokes were in rhythm you came to […]
