As India is celebrating the Maha Kumbh, it seems Russians also have something similar – which now has become more of a “Health Benefit” event – thanks to the Ice Water Swimming group people. But there is a religious reason also. One difference between Russian practice and MahaKumbh is that Russians don’t do to “a place”.. they just take a dip wherever they live.

1400 year old Ghosts fought in 1965 war and beat the Indians: Zaid Hamid

Last updated on: January 19, 2013 at 10:38 pm By Desh Kapoor

He talks a lot of nonsense and rants out rabid threats against Jews, Americans, and specially choicest ones against Indian. But, nothing would have prepared, even me – who had written a stinging article on him many years back (Zaid Hamid and the Hallucinating Pakistani minds) which was at one time ranked higher on Google search than any other Pakistani website post on him (got...

General Musharraf on Recent Beheading Case; again proves Richard Clarke “Pakistanis are Pathological Liars” quip

Last updated on: January 19, 2013 at 9:38 pm By Desh Kapoor

I think we all are accustomed to the “Game of Denial” that Pakistanis play. Except for the hard-core believers of “Fairness” fetish; no one really believes anything that Pakistan says anymore. I mean really. For most Government – as was obvious in Osama Bin Laden’s operation – whatever Pakistanis say has to be discounted by 100%. It really doesn’t mean anything. Such is the status, that now, even they do not know when they are lying anymore. Their lying habit... Read more
