License to kill = Belief in Reincarnation...

...says Robin Cook in his new book, featuring medical tourism in India.

"Given that the book is based on a crucial issue of healthcare, one does expect better stuff than being told that Hindus don’t mind committing murder because they believe in reincarnation; i.e. the person killed will be reborn. Excuse me!!"

Congress Kanya did better than Parivaar Bahu, says The Telegraph.

As one top BJP think-tank told The Telegraph today: “Narendra Modi too took on the traditional organisation of the BJP and the Sangh in Gujarat, but it is clear now Vasundhara Raje is no Narendra Modi.”

If ever I consider politics as an option, I know where not to go.

Ok, read the, between or beyond the following lines, I'm just reproducing (pun maybe intended) the piece from today's edition of Deccan Herald. I hope it helps in bringing about world peace and reducing poverty and global warming. Thank you.

Italics are my emphasis.

IAF Open To Women In Jet Cockpit

New Delhi, PTI: The long-cherished dream of women entering the male bastion of flying jet fighters may finally come true with IAF Chief F H Major saying the force is open to the idea of allowing the fairer sex donning the frontline combat role.

Women in the Indian Air Force were doing a "good job" and there was no reason why they would not be able to fly combat aircraft in future, Major said on Wednesday.

Replying to a question on whether IAF will have women fighter pilots in future, Major said, "Why not! The women in IAF are doing a good job."

Asked whether IAF was consdering any proposal in this regard, he said, "No proposal is under cosideration right now. We will have to give a lot of thought on it."

The Indian Air Force has over 700 women officers in non-combatant roles.

No, that's not the translated title of a soft porno horror showing at 11 pm on Zee Cinema, but Mills & Boon's first Indian title, where the boy is from India.

Innovating the wheel

When you don't have anything left to improvise you go for such solutions!.. and by God it works and how!. Now this is the power of computer science, writing an algorithm to find the best route possible for all the 95,000 big square brown trucks delivering packages every day, owned by U.P.S. such that, they take the least number of left turns on a highway. The result?.. you have huge(don't know how much) savings for the company!.

Why dont you just shut up?

In justice?

The compensation package guidelines for acid attack victims laid down by Bangalore HC is indeed a welcome move, just for the existing victims. Is it reducing the number of victims-to-be? Is it offering a second thought to the would-be offender?
Apologies for the very inarticulate anger-spewing above.
Speaking of anger, a joke by my very good friend Hairy:

What would Ang-Lee say if he didn't get the award?
I am very, very anglee*.(* angry in american chinese accent.)

So much for the hot seat...

HOW does the press find such people? Or is it that such people find the press after they realize it?
Such ya Jhooth, gets published anyways.
