The Congress after coming to power has truly fulfilled its election slogan: congress puraane din laayenge (the Congress will bring back the old days). But none could perhaps have anticipated the speed and the regularity with which it is hurtling the nation towards the path of destruction of the vilest kind.
Again, I need to [...]
Regular readers of this blog might have by now reconciled themselves with my periodic fits with changing my blog’s theme. But to all of you out there, hear loud and clear: My Search Ends Here. This is the clean and simple theme I was hunting for so long. My infinite thanks to Scott who blogs [...]
Here’s some fresh, innovative stuff from the oven. This Palestinian gentleman has seized a new route to making hay while the cartoon protests rage.
When entrepreneur Ahmed Abu Dayya first heard that Danish caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad were being reprinted across Europe, he knew exactly what his customers in Gaza would want: flags to burn. [...]
Via email from a friend, I received this link. These are REAL resumes. And this has to be the worst of the lot (scroll right down to the end of the page):
I had problems with punctuality because of insomnia and depression and was politely told not to return to my assignment by Olsten.
Wow!
Ideology matters only when you’re the opposition.
Mark these words and imprint them indelibly in your mind. For all the havoc they’ve wreaked development work they’ve done in Kerala over 30 years, the CPIM’s revolution hasn’t yielded the desired fruit. Now that they’re out of power and if this report is to be believed, they’ve begun [...]

While cartoons on Prophet Mohammed are provoking violence against some European nations, a fortnight [...]
Picture this: a gentleman holds degrees from Cambridge, serves in prestigious (bureaucratic) positions in the central government, supports the 1962 Chinese invasion of India, supports Pakistan ardently, declares himself a secular fundamentalist, graduates to become the uncrowned poet laurete of Sonia Gandhi’s court (shamelessly stolen from NS Rajaram), and thanks to this loyalty, gets an [...]
This blog has lamented on numerous occasions that Marxist interpretation of Indian history passed off as authentic Indian history at the hands of Communist party workers “historians” ever since a Marxist became the first Indian Prime Minister.

A Muslim girl practises a Hindu dance form and excels in it. V.P. Rubiya started practising Bharatanatyam when she was three, and scored an A grade at the recent Kerala School Festival. But the local mahallu (parish) at Valluvambram in the Muslim-dominated Malappuram district is far from happy about it. Rubiya, 16, a X [...]
Head over to this great piece by Mukta Raut.
…I have observed that of all the religious communities, Hindus are the most clueless about their religion. I went to a convent school. We had a Moral Science period where the Christian students were taken to a different class to read the Bible. The rest of [...]
