The Tyrannical Republic of India
Posted on June 6, 2011 | 124 CommentsGive the dog a bad name and hang it. A variation of this technique, pioneered by Lenin in his infamous “stick the convict badge,” an old favourite of our now-languishing comrades on the Left—from calling Subash Bose a running dog of imperialism to various other... -
A Tale of Two Surveys—Part 2: The Fear of Narendra Modi
Posted on May 24, 2011 | 45 CommentsAfter dealing with how the creative mathematicians at Hindustan Times massaged the Bosserina’s ego, we move on to another vile “survey” conducted by Star News—Nielsen. The amazing part of this “survey” is the fact that it has published nothing about the survey itself except the... -
A Tale of Two Surveys—Part 1: Creative Mathematics by Hindustan Times
Posted on May 23, 2011 | 11 CommentsIf you want to please your boss, the sky is the limit as far as the ways, means, and devices are concerned. You can throw him an elaborate (read: expensive) party, gift him a tuxedo, drop his children to school everyday, praise him in public... -
Gita Ramaswamy’s Assault on Intelligence
Posted on May 18, 2011 | 66 CommentsDo you know who Gita Ramaswamy is? No? Neither do I. Put that in the past tense: neither did I until I read this vacuous assault on intelligence masquerading as a book review. The sheer imbecility of the “review”—hereafter referred to as asssault—rebels against sensibility... -

Posted on November 26, 2010 | 4 CommentsMy tribute to the brave guys who died for us. Never forget them. Or the horror. And to vote out those under whose spineless dispensation the ground was fertile to wreak this carnage. Tags: 26 Nov 2008, 26/11, 26/11 Anniversary, Chidambaram, Congress, Congress Party, Indian... -
Most Loathsome People of India: 2010
Posted on November 19, 2010 | 159 CommentsThis year’s Most Loathsome People of India Award Ceremony has arrived a month earlier.

Roundup of the Battle for Bangalore
Posted on April 6, 2010 | 27 CommentsSo the BJP won resoundingly in the BBMP elections and secured an overwhelming strength of 141 in the council. This is the first ever election to the council since the BBMP was formed in 2007. With all the modesty I can muster, I’ll say I... -
Pune Before and After and Ever After
Posted on February 15, 2010 | 57 CommentsPune is just the name of another city where the blasts occurred. A welcome gift on the eve of Valentines Day to reassure our hearts pining for terror-love that we were so used to during UPA Ver 1.0. And the difference between Shivraj Patil and... -
Love Jihad Gets International Op-Ed Space
Posted on October 23, 2009 | 40 CommentsI know I’ve been neglecting this blog for extended intervals. I’ve been insanely busy.

How Slayers are Sainted
Posted on September 4, 2009 | 120 CommentsI rarely watch news channels. I’d rather go to a local car tinkering garage if I was that desperate for noise. I made an exception today because I fully wanted to experience the expected orgy of insanity that I was sure would be unleashed when... -

This is Where Barkha Comes From
Posted on January 30, 2009 | 18 CommentsWatch this YouTube Video. Barkha Dutt actually had a talk show on whether we should “regulate blogging!” What does “regulate” smack of? http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=iLiDTX5xhv8 That kind of explains some things in the Kunte episode.
