Kejriwal’s faux pas: Modi-Congress “hand-in-glove” charge based on Sanjiv Bhatt’s “evidence”?

Last updated on: December 4, 2012 at 11:38 am By Desh Kapoor

As is obvious for my posts on the blog, I have a high regard for Arvind Kejriwal as well as Narendra Modi. I believe both are important for the country. But Kejriwal now comes up with something that has left me flummoxed. Arvind Kejriwal today unleashed his ammunition against Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and accused Modi and Congress to be partners in business, with common friends in the industry. While, he admitted that he got much of his evidence... Read more

Last updated on: December 4, 2012 at 9:44 am By Desh Kapoor

The Muslim dominated Sundarbari panchayat under Kochadhaman block in Kishanganj district of Bihar has put a strange set of restrictions on women. Apparently, the villagers aren’t secure with their women using the mobiles. If an unmarried girl uses mobile, she will have to pay a fine of Rs 10,000. A married lady, on the other hand, has been spared the fine ONLY if she uses the cell phone within the home. If she is caught using a mobile outside her... Read more

Last updated on: December 4, 2012 at 9:03 am By Desh Kapoor

Great news for India‘s cell phone users – roaming nationwide will be eliminated. It is about time it was eliminated. India seems to be the only country which has such a stupid tariff WITHIN the country!

India Today Sex Survey shows small towns aren’t so innocent after all

Last updated on: December 4, 2012 at 8:50 am By Desh Kapoor

India Today‘s sex survey has brought out some bizarre facts about small towns in India. The concept of small towns and villages as “simple and innocent” is probably just a romantic idea after all. Here are some interesting points: Aizawl has the highest percentage of individuals who nominate their boyfriends/girlfriends as the first sexual partner. It also reports the highest percentage of live-in relationships, as well as those with multiple sexual partners. 58% of respondents in Kota detach emotions from... Read more

Bengal’s new rule of law: “Didi Bolcheesh” (Whatever Didi says)

Last updated on: December 4, 2012 at 6:49 am By Desh Kapoor

Sadly that is the truth of the Bengal of today, where Mamata Bannerjee – the first person to have broken the stranglehold of the Communists – has brought the state to. Aamra ekhon-o boli ni kon kagoj porte hobe, kintu agami dine kintu setao bole debo.

Last updated on: December 3, 2012 at 3:34 pm By Desh Kapoor

Failure of Indian Diplomacy as Maldives turns anti-India, while China smiles

Last updated on: December 3, 2012 at 9:53 am By Desh Kapoor

Problems of a big nature are brewing in our neighborhood. Maldives is on a collision course with India – because it believes that Chinese are there to look after their back.

Recently, Maldivian President’s spokesperson Adil Riza called India’s top Diplomat to Maldives DM Mulay as a “traitor” and an “enemy” of the country. Also the GMR airport contract was cancelled recently in Maldives. This has brought... Read more
