Rahul M, was off for a while, but no worries on our earlier exchange. Thought it was solely aimed at me :) Anyways, regarding IPL like league not able to groom the poorer, I am saying it is a good start and a good model for Indian realities. We should have Grade A national leagues like IPL, Grade B ...

What would we SDREs do without these ubiquitous multi-tiered tiffin boxes?!? :D :D Indeed!! We dont mix up our food and try to call the resultant glop as "casseroles" (the dish, not the utentsil). And do not forget to observe the boiled water in the soft-drink bottle. Totally green approa...

Regarding the absence of helmets by assault teams attached to proximate-security (SPG or SS), it could be for easy identification by friendly snipers on rooftops. In particular, the face profile and ears of the operatives in a crowd scene like what we see around political rallies in India. What if a...

hnair, with all due respect, the idea that a person will excel in a field IFF everything else in his/her life is hunky dory is faulty to say the least. most of the category that you hope will send forth great athletes end up being softy couch potatoes. people who do cross hurdles of life to achieve...

We are SDRE vegetarians. However my son is on the track and field at school and the coach just eggs him on. My son will eventually make the varsity team in his school which is a athlete powerhouse in Bay area. The coach is very important . For instance school hasnt started yet but he called to chec...

That SPG dude that looks like a younger Mithun-da, what is the blonde toupee doing in his head? Bollywood all the way. Me likee :rotfl: The Kneepads etc are cosmetic to a degree.

A 'plug in' hybrid? How can that be a hybrid? It is an electric vehicle. Hybrid is a mix of fuel and electric. it still has a the petrol engine. It is still required for seamless driving. eg: if the power is out for two days because KSEB dint pay up NTPC dues :(( ). The plug-in hybrid takes advanta...

I say we pay Phelps a lumpsum 100 million$ to compete for India and fire Kalmadi. Much more cost effective than this charade run by Kalmadi and co for decades. The lad wouldnt get a deal like that even in in Unkilland and we will have better medal standing. If Liukin (a soviet I used to like, along ...

Care must be taken to make sure the Janjaweed effect doesn't occur else, the Russian high moral ground of stopping the civilian killings would be greatly diminished. That mistake is made only by idiot abduls in nightgowns. Putin will name these death squads "Blackwaterski", make them wear...

Vick is right. We cannot do an equal-equal by comparing Iraq with Georgia. For Iraq is a righteous war, and not a border war. Let us wait till some "New & Improved" Pancho Villa rolls into a Texas border town, because the Glorious State of Texas has electrocuted the 100th Hispanic pris...

The smaller Russian neighbors are seeing first hand what it means to live in the Bear's den. These smaller russian neighbors can always learn from the smaller countries of Central and South America on "how to cope up with an oafish big rich country consisting of the right skin tone": just...

A friend just flew to Siam Reap airport in Cambodia and he feels it is a lot better. Shame on our looters. :eek: Siam Reap over BIA? Your friend might have been giving himself the Mallya treatment?

I was curious what price the PLA leadership paid for having GWB at the ceremonies. Looks like they were desperate for H&D and became suicidal: At church in China, Bush says religion nothing to fear "I have been meeting Chinese leaders for 7 1/2 years and my message has been the same: you sh...

Sonia has no official status, Manmohan has. But she is the Supreme Ruler, a concept the PLA understands and is comfortable with. :) VikasRaina, if I am a slum dweller and I am barely able to survive through SARS, what would I like to happen to me?

Ramana-jee, Dont know where to post this, but I got hold of this most excellent book of Ravi Varma paintings. Costs 5K Indian Rs, but totally worth it.

Singha, I was thinking the same thought about those homely mango groves on both sides of the access road to BIAL. That is some serious acreage. BIAL suck in that they have umpteen overpriced coffee shops outside, but I could not find a toll-phone/PCO once I was out of the arrival area. Not even one ...

Direct cash for vote was previously done so blatantly by P.V.Narasimha Rao. But some of the same people outraged at this today don't mind PVNR's corruption because he "resisted US pressure." Everyday one goes without High Fructose Corn Syrup crap they call Coke/Pepsi, we are all resisting...

Secondly at the upper strata of society, the Namboodiris with their 'Mana' are more Konkan/Kannada than Tamil and so are the Menon's, Nairs, Thiyyars of North who are more influenced by amalgam of Kannada/Chera cultures without any Tamil imprint whatsoever. Tamil imprint is only seen in districts a...

Do not drag in al qaeda, taliban et al. This is Pak Army doing what they are best at: "shikhandi warfare". Use an impotent RAPE led govt as the front and indiscriminately kill Indian citizens from behind. The only complaint against US is that they like this surreptitious killing arrangemen...

:x This is the kind of troublemaking that a Pak Army with a "Democracy" mask can do with impunity. Prior to the elections, the buck stopped at the Corpse Table and they would squirm in their khakis at those unpleasant calls from their lobbyists/controllers/publicists in DC. But now, that r...

The Eastern books (Art of War, Five Rings etc) needs to be translated by an ABCA (Ameriki Born Confused Asian) who has intellectuals as parents.

Sanjay, yes, that is a KAP constable with an INSAS and binoculars, a rarity in KAP :) They pick out the best rifle marksmen, who can shoot well at range. Maybe they don't need ...

I dont think the IBN report is a big deal. The good Air Marshall is trying not to create enemies in far parts of the globe where none exist today. If he says it is the MKIs that will carry the flowers, a lot of people out of that particular aircraft's range can continue nibbling their rancid cheese ...

Valuable lessons were learnt from the four ASLV launches and the project terminated after that. I wish they had not discontinued the ASLV launches.

Sanjay, there is a sniper /counter-sniper type of role for what are loosely termed "Kerala Police Commandos". Apart from HRT/Proximal security type stuff, I think some of them they do deck themselves up in home-made gilli-suits et al. Once a while they setup a military-sniper style demo fo...

Sachin, two points to consider: (b) Does the 0.303 really have limited firepower in most civil police situations ?
