Politicians increasingly have turned their eyes, nay, everything
to three things: Wooing People to Gain Power, Managing to Stay in Power, and
Trying to get Themselves Back to Power. Gone are those past illustrious
presidents of the United States who apart from the Power aspect, focused
genuinely on issues, cared and tried to solve peoples’ problems, and generally
lived by [...]
The Slimes of India is back again with its
Theatrics of the Numbers Game. Yesterday’s (or was it the day before?)
headlines boldly displayed that the Ragpickers’ Favourite of India was the number one
in Delhi. How informative! Then, it was followed today, by how the Dishrag of
India is the number one in Bangalore.
Yesterday’s paper [...]
Jivha has posted an interesting link to an article that debunks the
Vedas, generally speaking, and tries to conclude that the
Vedas are mere “mythology,” to be more specific.
The Queen of Sleaze, the woman every celebrity loves to hate, but don’t dare
to openly, the Empress of Trash Fiction (ever read Sultry Nights? or is it
Evenings? I chucked it half way) has a way with words. Wish her novels were as
good as some of the columns she writes
Here is a quick and [...]
This topic must have been beaten to death over the decades. The righteous posturing, boisterous claims of good governance, “corruption-free” administration, what-have-you–all suddenly assuming paramount importance, and you are stumped for a second, pause, disbelieving your eyes and ears: since when did our political masters wake up to these realities? All the while we heard [...]
Another hired troll columnist of Outlook does
her routine about trashing the positive developments that
have taken place in India in the recent years. She says there’s nothing to feel
good about the "feel good" factors in India. Instead, she wants us to
concentrate on the filth, muck, and all negative aspects of the country, and
how, compared to that [...]
The venerable Imam of the Holiest Mosque of Mecca has this
to say about:
Hindus:
The idol-worshipping Hindus indulge in their open hatred against our brothers and sanctities in Muslim Kashmir, threatening an imminent danger and a fierce war in the whole Indian
subcontinent.
Jews: Pigs and Monkeys

Lysenko’s name caught my attention: I don’t remember the context where I came
across his name and it’s not important.
Lysenko personifies Science Serving Ideology. For a great measure. His claim
to fame? A “peasant” agronomist in proletariat Russia (USSR). His methods:
devious and fraudulent to say the least. He was the perfect tool for Stalin, an
excellent one-man [...]
Although this incident happened about 4-5 ago, it is fresh in my memory. I
was travelling in a BMTC (Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation) monster bus after a tiring
day. As is customary of me, I fished out a book–I always carry at least 2 books
when I’m out of the house and expect to face a propsect that [...]
