Don't celebrate too soon. Only four days to go after all, please keep it under wraps till then. Till then, let Dilbu jinx-master have a field day (or four field days). It ain't over till the crazy lady (Bengali Begum) sings. Right now she's going "He's not my PM, I will wait to talk to the next...

Having gained some insight into Modi's way of working, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this radar business was another of his elaborately set and exquisitely timed traps. And if it really is a trap, I would expect that he'd spring it after a whole lot of congi motor mouths gleefully put the...

Genius. Does he still remember to say "chowkidar chor hai?" This is what is needed - keeping these creeps on the defensive and reactive, rather than running around playing offense. Around the time when the Delhi rapes happened and the western press was gleefully running stories of "I...

Interesting that the guy says "Bhasmasuri party." But but but... I thought Bhasmasur was the innocent tragic hero of the piece, who was shamelessly tricked by the scheming Mohini (just like their claims that Durga was a "commercial *** worker who entrapped the innocent Mahishasur.&quo...

Sir, I had read your posts on the "how to write a story" thread with great interest. I was actually hoping some of the snippets you had written got published as a full book somewhere :). I especially recall a snippet about a spy returning to a fortress after an undercover op and how the g...

I have self published.As per Amazon, 90% of self published books sell under 100 copies in year 1 and under 250 in all. Fortunately, I've touched 100 at the end of 7 days. Back then (>10 years ago) I did self publish also (rather, I got a house to create copies, which they expected me to distribute ...

However, I currently intend to publish commercially (Amazon / Kindle), for the work to be taken more seriously and because part of the proceeds go to the Army Battle casualties fund, which I support. I would like to mail advance e-copies of the book to the BR community, so that the subject matter e...

How do I vote from the US ? In 2014 I had a chance to go back to India during election. But this time I can't . Can anyone post instructions ? Seems we're out of luck here. The Lok Sabha passed a bill to allow NRIs to vote by proxy. This bill was stopped at the Rajya Sabha. As of now, postal voting...

Parrikar carried the zeal that had made him such an adored leader in his own state to Delhi but the workload in the MoD was enormous. So he would invariably wake up at 4 am and not sleep until 11 pm. The punishing routine and the fact that he worked all seven days a week (five days in Delhi and two...

Om Shanti. Why do the good die young... The only thing I can think of, is that those who express their evil side are allowed to exhaust all their good karmaphala (so they live to their 90's with little trouble, but then they get it in their next life), whereas those who express their good side are a...

Fantastic job by IAF, hearty congrats..... i think it has not ended. There was more to it and will be more to it. Hope so, fingers crossed :). No no, no coup in Pak this time.

Fantastic job by IAF, hearty congrats. But somebody please tell me, what is this "ground assault" in the title of the thread? It keeps getting mentioned, but I'm not able to find anything on it anywhere. Was there an IA offensive somewhere as well? Reason I follow white media reports is to...

What's wrong is this whole notion that we know the "ideal" temperature at which to maintain this planet, and that we need to implement some kind of global thermostat (at any cost - monetary or otherwise) to achieve and keep that "ideal" constant temperature. There is an ideal te...

believe it, it's the most factual bit of the movie. :wink: Wow, for some reason I thought we had one casualty. Don't know where I got that from. It seems the total collection (including overseas) has crossed 260 cr. India is at 180 cr. And the line "How's the Josh" is now big time popular...

Watched it (with SHQ)! Theater in massa was only 20 to 25% full, but that seemed to be true of all movies in that complex (maybe not a popular complex overall). Far from being grossed out by violence, SHQ was yelling "How's the Josh" the next day at me! No slick dialog like massa movies, d...

Hmm... I also see that there is a difference between 'thakkali' and 'tomato'. 'thakkali' is very much part of our food culture, being the tangy ingredient in curries such as sambar and rasam. tomato is a european vegetable that is used to make ketchups. And did you know that the Cows in India (Bos ...

sudarshan

SHQ is kind of queasy. She knows terrorists deserve it, but too much violence, and she'll gross out. Would it be too much for a female viewer, do you think? If so, I might have to go by myself.

sudarshan

Lilo ji, you might want to edit your post as well. I did think twice before posting that, guess I should have thought thrice

. Nothing wrong with what I posted, just that, as you pointed out, it would be counter-productive in this particular thread.

sudarshan

Seems like a big mobilization.

Edit: Removed some sensitive material. Sorry, Lilo ji, was just responding to Karan M's post, and I guess it went off on an unnecessary tangent.

sudarshan

Sorry for late reply. Kinda distracted by all political drama going on now. Yes, human mind needs idols, but did our vedic ancestors used idols(moorthi)? That's where I am having problem with the whole story. If we observe IVC sites, we don't see any temples. They have public baths. I am firm belie...

When performing puja, my grandpa would take a bath, wear fresh clothes, and then totally avoid contact with anybody (even the closest family members) till he was finished.

The relations between the Hindus and the Indian Buddhists were not always cordial. Its quite possible what you say may be true. But, in the end, the guy was just an uncultured cheeni who did not know enough to be thankful or even merely diplomatic instead of using such uncouth language to berate hi...

If he "sang for his supper," that means he was saying the things that the Indian Buddhists wanted him to say. Which means the bigotry was from India. But that point could be moot because it seems Hsuan Tsang wrote (or dictated) his memoirs at the request of the Chinese emperor, once he was...

JEM saar, this is what I wrote in the previous page of this thread: Now here's what I say - let's consider some possibilities: 1. Fa Hian and Hsuan Tsang were unbiased, but the translator was not. GOOD! This means that even this biased translator was unable to find anything in Fa Hian's or Hsuan Tsa...

We are talking about a Chinese interpretation of social milieu in India, written in Chinese, and then re-interpreted by a colonial interpreter carrying his own theological/civilizational baggage - and with no other frame of reference on which to draw upon. I'm not sure why we are taking these peopl...

These quotes on the wods "True Path", "Heretic" & "False" - are they yours or Fa Hien's? The words in backets (Buddhism & Hinduism) are they yours or Fa Hien's? You might get a sense of a distinct difference, because there is a difference between what the Buddh...

sudarshan

There's a problem with this approach, particularly in English, because the words "Hindu" and "Buddhist" are both primarily used in the English language (as well as other European languages over the last 3-4 centuries). In the time that we are referring to, presumably from 600 BC...

Here's one- in Bhavabhuti's play "Malati and Madhava" a Buddhist nun Kamandaki, living in a Buddhist convent, acts as a go between to bring the two main characters( both Hindu) together. A Hindu dramatist saw nothing unusual in portraying a Buddhist in a positive way. It speaks of peacefu...

I got several comments along the lines of "why should we examine relations between Hindus and Buddhists based on the words of foreigners, rather than looking at Indian accounts themselves?" Well, go for it, guys. This foreigner's account is all I know right now, and I've been waiting for o...

Sudarshan, not to divert from the thread, but I had earlier written a article on this regarding Dara Shikoh and what he wrote called the Majma Ul Bahrain ; ie mingling of two oceans. Copies I believe are available online, for which you can readily delve into his mind of what he was thinking and wha...

It will be instructive, to begin with, to record precisely when the terms "Hinduism" & "Buddhism" came into the English/French/German languages. Just before the Europeans arrived, I don't think the non-Muslim Indians called themselves "Hindus" and "Buddhists&q...
