It’s hard for Indian fans to cede moral advantage to an Australian team. They are so much better at the cricket that outrage is often the only consolation we have. It’s hard to fault the Australians’ behaviour on the Symonds affair: they’ve made their poi

Gore told the world in his Academy Award-winning movie to expect 20-foot sea-level rises over this century. He ignores the findings of his Nobel co-winners, who conclude that sea levels will rise between only a half-foot and two feet over this century, wi

The Aussies know that the equation is simple: pressure plus expectation equals failure. They know that the pressure is on you, from your own countrymen, to succeed, and they will use that as a weapon.

Clark answered the phone. “Stu, it’s Andrew Hilditch.” Bugger. “Can I come up and see you for a minute.”
Yeah, right. Don’t forget to bring a blindfold and last cigarette. As Clark said later: “You know Hilditch isn’t ringing to catch up for a drink.”

India’s Congress-led government has told companies to hire more dalits and members of tribal communities. Together these groups represent around a quarter of India’s population and half of its poor. Manmohan Singh, the prime minister, has given warning th

Left opposes performance-linked salaries
October 8, 2007 — sridharvankaLeft opposes performance-linked salaries
Finally, the veil is off…(I think it was never there..we were dumb enough to believe all this social justice crap) :
Reacting angrily, the unions said any move to this end would hurt the interests of employees at lower levels of the hierarchy.
“The proposal of performance-linked salary for a government employee is illegal, illegitimate and unconstitutional. Basic salary cannot be linked with performance. There can be a performance bonus, as prevalent in some industries, but that should not be a part of the salary,” said Gurudas Dasgupta, general secretary, All-India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), which is affiliated to the Communist Party of India (CPI).
I have never heard such an insane argument from anyone. I believe I would be insulting the intelligence of my readers if I try to explain why this is such nonsense.
Commies need help…seriously !
“those who oppose the nuclear deal are enemies of progress.”
October 8, 2007 — sridharvankaThat was apparently our Godmother, Sonia ji …I did not get to read her original speech, so will refrain from further comment on the speech itself.
What piques my interest is this clarification from the congress party on the speech:
After senior Left leaders reacted to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi’s remarks on the Indo-US nuke deal during a rally in Haryana, the Congress party has clarified that the remarks were only in the context of the political situation in Haryana.
Someone, please explain to me how it is possible that “those who oppose the nuke deal are enemies of progress” only in the context of the political situation in Haryana and under no other circumstances !
