One FLU over Ghulam Nabi Azad’s nest of frazzled nerves

LOL.You got to cut the poor guy some slack though.All failures are attributed to him being a newbie,all successes are appropriated by the states.

Left and their ideological brethren

June 24, 2009

I read this article in The Indian Express today.
http://www.indianexpress.com/news/revealed-by-lalgarh/480594/0
Excellent piece!Couldn’t have put it better myself.The Left needs to come out of it’s dogma and the “fear of the foreign hand” shell of yesteryears and adapt to the changing environment in India,and remedy it’s lack of action on the uprising in Naxalbari long long ago by [...]

VS v/s Vijayan

June 20, 2009

So there has been a whole lotta coverage in the media,print and electronic, about the spat within the Kerala CPM.
What I would say to Mr. Prakash Karat would be to rein Vijayan in and allow the inquiry against him in the SNC Lavalin case to proceed.No matter,if 90% of the party in Kerala has to [...]

Talk is cheap,show me the code…

January 22, 2009

..or rather,cut the hype,prove yourself by actions.
This is my opinion on Obama,after all the inauguration fuss is over,and everyone has gone back to their homes.Sure,Obama has made a promising start with the order to shut down Gitmo Bay and talking a bit tough to Pakistan on the war on terror,but I’m afraid all the hype [...]

Shivraj Patil resigns

November 30, 2008

We are finally rid of a Home Minister who hardly rated the term,who was ineffectual,weak-kneed,an embarrassment to the country and more concerned about his hair and clothes when common people were dying in the streets at the hands of jihadi terrorists in Ahmedabad,Delhi and Jaipur.
His record is dismal even by the standards of Indian politicians [...]

Mumbai terror attacks

November 28, 2008

After everything is said and done,please stop asking the columnists and CEOs of India about their views on these attacks and how they are different as in how they show the face of terror and not anonymous bombs which go off.
The true people to ask,if you are interested in finding the outrage and anger in [...]

An anti-terror Golden Shield,privacy be damned

September 17, 2008

I read Mr. Venkatesan Vembu’s opinion article in the DNA about an anti-terror “Golden Shield”,which would help reduce the response time of the police to catch terrorists who masterminded the dastardly act of violence against New Delhi citizens Saturday.Mr. Venkatesan writes and I quote,”If a ‘Golden Shield’ had been in place in New Delhi on [...]

NSG waiver

September 7, 2008

So,India got the NSG waiver with apparently no conditions and no changes in the text except a reference to Pranab Mukherjee’s statement about India’s commitment to strengthening the non-proliferation regime and a reminder about our voluntary moratorium on testing.AND there are no mentions of testing anywhere else in the document.Three Cheers to the IFS!
Still,being a [...]
