India’s Top Websites, Why do we like our websites? A valuation. Also, an Outlook-MDRA poll on top websites: They stare you in the face. Spending a crore a month in full-page magazine and newspaper advertisements, on TV shows and hoardings, in cybercafes and on your computer screen, always. The dotcoms are out to get you. They want your eyeballs. And are they succeeding. http://bit.ly/1uzQGp1

Acres of Anger, Saba Naqvi: Many rivers run through Champaran. It is a lush green, rich agricultural district—a land worth fighting for. One of the finest Ashokan pillars still stands in Lauriya village, on what was then the road from Pataliputra to Nepal. Today, no one travels on this road at night. For Champaran is now a microcosm of all that has gone wrong in Bihar. http://bit.ly/1E2Jlhv

The Karma Symphony in Judea, Seema Sirohi in Jerusalem: For a civilisational meeting, the setting couldnít have been better. The text was the Bhagavad Gita, the city was Jerusalem and the orchestra was the Israel Philharmonic, conducted by Zubin Mehta. The epic dialogue between Lord Krishna and Arjuna on the battlefield was translated into western classical music, with a hundred musicians bringing that ultimate dilemma to life. It was yet another landmark in the unusual journey of a man named Naresh Sohal. http://bit.ly/1KIAnbo
