good morning

As usual when faced with a blank screen, i do what any good creative person would do; i procrastinate. i open another browser window and head to wikipedia. i scratch my crotch. it's enjoyable. i scratch some more. a couple of minutes later i realise i'm not just scratching anymore. i stop, and come back to the screen. it's a challenge, the blankness. it's saying fuck you, you couldn't fill this if you needed to. well fuck that shit, i've got a lot to say. have you ever walked down the road and blinked and then realised you've suddenly recieved a whole new perspective on things? no? me neither. shit doesn't happen that easily around here. me i've got to be hit in the face, kicked in the nuts and slammed against a wall with a knife to my throat before i realise how i've been so wrong all this while about stuff. there's some sort of lack of a self-correcting mechanism. and that's probably because i'm one of those people who goes through ...

Aman ki Asha

I'm not going to waste my breath and dwell on how truly and myopically stupid ToI's 'Aman ki Asha' is. And how it's going to be just a venue for pseuds to sip wine and share kakori kebabs, while admiring each other's pashmina shawls and over-sized bindis . Ooh and clunky silver jewellery. To truly appreciate the complete idiocy of this whole 'initiative', let's imagine that the ToI had addressed their open letter to Mr. Girhotra, father of the late Ruchika G.

The following piece is a parody of what was on ToI's front page, and has been (re)written by user sanjaychoudhary at forums.bharat-rakshak.com . Love Rathore Feels odd to you -- Ruchika's father -- to see those two words side by side doesn’t it?

Quoted for Truth

What difference does OBL's death make for India? How will things be different? Was OBL involved in Pakistani terror against India? Suggested answers to some truly intriguing questions as well as a deeply informative timeline from user Rudradev @ http://forums.bharat-rakshak.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5911&start=2360 [quote] OBL was never an enemy of India, except in the broadest ideological sense. Just because he became the poster-boy of "dangerous Islamism" for the west, we do ourselves a disservice by adopting that image wholesale and applying it to an Indian context where it is not at all relevant. Indeed, I believe the presence of OBL in our subcontinental neighbourhood was in fact a net gain for India. Let me explain why. 1) In the early 1990s, the US was full of hyperpower hubris. They had just won the cold war and destroyed the USSR, and Pakistan (via its support for the Afghan war) was appreciated as a key player in that campaign. These times were the apex of...
