		<description><![CDATA[The story begins many years back, on a beautiful sunny morning in 1997. I was playing cricket in the inter division cricket tournament in my college.

		<description><![CDATA[I used to think that Amitabh Bachchan was a great role model for Indians. But his regular  treks to temples across India are consistently eroding his stature in my eyes. Ref- Bollywood&#8217;s Bachchan walks barefoot to pray India is anyway full of religious fanatics and superstitious people who would believe and follow so called god [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my previous post, I wrote about the absence of scientific temper in India and the need for those well informed, to voice their opinions against superstitions and customs that have chained our society. India today seems completely at the mercy of ill-placed faith. Instead of individuals standing on the shoulders of faith and rising [...]]]></description>
