I was on blog hiatus thanks to the Blogger’s Block enormous workload in which time I got worried emails from concerned fellow-bloggers. I have over the past 10 days, not opened a single news site/blog, not thought about anything post-worthy until I read this today. I quote:
According to Abu Aardvark, Tariq Ramadan - a francophone [...]

Rediff Columnist Dilip D’Souza was patient enough to read this entry on my old blog (which is defunct for all practical purposes and I don’t visit it myself) and was even more gracious to leave a comment on it. I had ranted randomly in that entry, about the Congress, the BJP, the misdeeds of the [...]

Francois Gautier is a very passionate Hindu/supporter of Hinduism. In his latest piece, he recounts his experiences of exhibiting a show/photographs about Kashmiri Pandits.

This news item for some reason reminded me of a scene from a Telugu movie where a mother chides her money-intoxicated daughter. The proverbial daughter is willing to do anything for money–lets her husband sleep with another woman, doesn’t care for the kids… the [...]

I’ve never understood the need for an individual or a country to dominate others physically–domination is violence, violation. It probably stems from a need to “show others who is the boss.” It is interesting also to observe the connotation we attach to certain things, events, deeds, [...]

Our Prime Minister’s greatest assets seem to be his Mr. Clean image, his scholarship, and his gentlemanliness/soft-spokenness. I seriously doubt whether he possesses even an iota of shrewdness that characterizes a politician. I may be wrong of course, but this is what I reckon from the image the media–and even his own party members–projects of [...]
Backspin has a funny cartoon which I’ve shamelessly reproduced below.
I’m no cartoonist but I’ve tried a spoof of my own, because we share a problem similar to Israel. So here goes…
If you graciously suggest some other caption, I’ll replace it with the present–and what I consider, tame–effort.

After Sibu Soren’s disgraceful exit from the parliament and his deserved entry behind bars, it looks like it’s now Chandrashekar Rao’s turn.
Yet another minister in the Manmohan Singh government appeared to be in trouble after a local court today issued a non-bailable warrant against Telangana Rashtra Samithi Chief K Chandrasekhar Rao in a case of [...]

This Lofty Child of Allah and follower of the Prophet wants the UN to declare defamation/criticism of the Prophet an international crime!
Maulana Rehman continues along the predictable lines of Islam being a Religion of Peace, and that Muslims are being falsely targetted, that Paki Madrassas do not preach terrorism, that the West is bent [...]

I had blogged earlier about the Dynasty’s bacchca Rahul Gandhi taking on Mulayam Singh Yadav. I guess the Congress eminences have indulged in careful planning ever since. The Congress is now contemplating a Quit Mulayam Week from Aug 4. The message is clear to Mulayam: step down, and make way for us.
Oh, I forgot to [...]
