On a personal note..

Top 3 news in BBC today, - Man Eating Tiger - Starving Studs - Salaman Khan hunting case. My God, India is conducting elections in 5 states, and the main news according to BBC is these 3? POMS at their best.

So when would you think the world will understand that Ramayana might have been real and Hanuman could very well be a Neanderthal.

"Pens are mightier than the sword". When you read the Indian Section in BBC, all that it has is negative campaigns against India. I understand being irrelevant in this world is hard, that too when you have fallen from the top. Other than being a Bitch to US, Britain doesn't have much to do. It’s pathetic to read BBC, the only reason I read it every day is because of my upbringing. You read “The Hindu” for national news, BBC for world and Tamil newspaper for local news. But it is becoming increasingly difficult to read anything in BBC. I am not saying that what BBC is stating isn’t true, but to have only bad news day in and day out, as if nothing else happens in India is truly evil. Everything is cyclical in this world, the sun never used to set in the British Empire and it is not about to rise for the next 500!!!

Don't know why, Daniel's "அண்ணே லவ் மேட்டர்ல ஃபீல் ஆகிட்டாப்ல... ஆஃப் அடிச்சாருன்னா கூல் ஆகிருவாப்ல" is stuck in my mind!!

The last week or two has been a political disaster for Obama. While listening to Fox News, I overheard the host making an analogy, “I can talk bad about my sister, but how dare Putin talks bad about her”. I don’t know whether to laugh at the host or feel bad for Obama. I have been critical of Obama, I have no personnel vendetta against him nor do I care for America’s internal politics. But where Obama strikes similarity to where I grew up was how the current political system (both in US and India) allows people who until three decades ago where severely handicapped within their community, to position themselves to decisively make changes for the good. But, the sad part is almost all of them fail. That for me is an interesting subject. People compare MLK to Gandhi, but in essence MLK is more like Periyar than Gandhi. I haven’t read much about MLK, but I would guess what MLK was fighting for was to eliminate the boundary created by the color and to tre...

It is laughable to see Tamil Nadu Student Agitation on Sri Lankan issue. Bunch of puppets with no clue on what the puppeteer ultimate goal is.

A masterful mini-series in Showtime. "Untold Histories of US", great program.
