Oprah at Jaipur Literary Festival!

Oprah, the ever sweet lady visits India and makes waves!

Oprah is the most well known media face any where in the world- so there goes India. It is not Oprah that came to India, but India that came to her. India approached her with all her views, visions and sounds. No one ever goes to India for the first time. India just happens once or more as life happens. India is a microcosm of life, with all its ups, downs, good and bad.
Welcome to India Oprah!

Jaipur Literary Festival: Salman Rushdie

Salman's presence is ever visible even though some fanatical Muslim groups succeeded in making him stay away from the Jaipur literary festival. His thoughts pervade the world, so India no exception.

What India needs is to stand up for itself and not bow to sectarian pressures.
