An app for India Pakistan love, the patriotism question, and peace-mongering, regardless
From the Blog beenasarwar [image: 20150218-AKA page]*My latest Personal Political post for Times of India blogs* I have for some time been in touch with a young Indian software engineer turned project manager turned ‘digital nomad’, Amrit Sharma.

As we go about life, we come face to face with the stark reality of the disparate class structure around us. This is not only in social interactions but also in the overall confused world view about us. pakistanblogs.blogspot.comRead Full Post
