Thanks to Rahul's response, I watched the second half of this match after returning back a bit early from office. I guess I am lucky for Team India

On a serious note, hope for the same show in upcoming matches too.

Traitors like Varavara Rao are big hypocrites. When the barbaric Maoists slit the throat of people then these people remain mum! When the Maoists kill innocent people by sabotaging the Railway track then they don't utter a single word! But when a jar headed man like Kishan Ji is killed, then they st...

Property Prices Collapse in China. Is This a Crash? What If the China Bubble Bursts? Although these articles are based upon some assumptions. However, two things which are quite evident are : (1). There are quite a few chinks in the Chinese growth model (2). If China goes down, USA will suffer too.

Good to see the enthusiasm. Kabaddi definitely has the potential to become an Olympic game. But I hope that it remains the game of the ground and does not get hijacked like Hockey which is now played on Astro turf! By the way, it will be interesting to see whether the nucleus of teams like US and Ca...

* As mentioned, if the source codes are not forthcoming, simply replace the concerned avionics suite. No problems, we've done it before.

Very simple world view. Does it really work like that? How easy is it for people to switch careers? Especially at the level these workers are? They don't think like most of us sitting here about shifting jobs for higher pay and moving up the value chain. Just like it is not common for people to lea...

2. At some places workers not have any choice but to continue where they are employed. Could you please explain why? In my humble opinion, if the workers feel that they are not being paid well by their firms, then they can always move to some other firms (like the ones suggested by you). No one has...

I completely agree with the unwanted baggage part of Uncle Sam in the form of CISMOA et al. My point was - Chinook being shot down at Afganistan does not make it a unreliable machine.

Asit P

The Chinook's have been shot down/crashing regularly in Afghanistan,Iraq and elsewhere.They are either unreliable in the harsh ennvironment of the region,plus are susceptible to being easy kills for small arms fire and anti-helo missiles and AA fire.

Well I don't know whether the decision to eliminate US birds was political or technical, but I guess Mr Cohen is correct with his assessment that owing to some hostile moves of US in the past, there still exists a great deal of mistrust about USA in India.
