Shankar boss, please complete the Maldives scenario. I am sure you would have some pages squirreled away already. Your scenario kinda initiated a curiosity for Maldives so much so, I am planning a vacation end Sept to Maldives.

Mukesh.Kumar

Anybody from Oman?

Mukesh.Kumar

Aditya, tempted to agree with you. But just 30 years ago, Europe and N.America could have been laughing at similar jokes about India or Pakistan.

Let's face it Technology is nobody's birthright. However stuttering they may look, all countries learn.

Mukesh.Kumar

That would be the Messerschmidt 206. The first Jet Fighter. Hitler's wishes to see it as a bomber screwed up everything.

Even from afar, I salute thee my Motherland, My chest swells up with emotion, Tears come to my eyes. Those of us who toil on foreign shores, Do not forget us, We watch with misty eye Longing thoughts. The glory that can be ours, The work that needs to be done. Enough of blaming, Finger pointing. It...

Sixty-one trucks have vanished into thin air with quite a heavy load – 400 tonne explosives and gelatin sticks worth about Rs 1.30 crore in four months. This is crazy. A news item like this, and no new storm. http://www.hindustantimes.com/61-ammo-trucks-vanish/Article1-585891.aspx With such lax sec...

Saudi Arabia's military purchases are not only to keep the US & EU happy and ensure their support, but also because of it's insecurity. Despite all the surface bonhomie, all the GCC states are insecure about each other. If Iran's in the picture, all of them team up against Iran who they are petr...

. So it might be much better to cannibalize entire aircrafts instead of keeping warehouse. @ Manish Isn't it being a bit naive to draw this conclusion? Let's take a simple example. Different spare parts have different lifetime rates. Say for example you have a scooter ($175) with only two parts, 1)...

Earnest request, lease do not go OT and derail LCA thread

Mukesh.Kumar

While we are discussing Tech Int capabilities of the Indian Army, can any one shed some light on Blackberry operations in India. Just came across this article which says that the UAE & Saudi Arabia are stopping Blackberry services because they are finding it difficult to monitor their use. http:...

Mukesh.Kumar

No problem dada. I just took a week's enforced (and extremely difficult break from BR) hoping that I would come back to at veritable feast.

Good things in life are worth waiting for.

Mukesh.Kumar

Dada, where art thou?

Mukesh.Kumar

Couple of episodes back t seemed that the story was running to a rather tame and predictable end. But this.....

Extremely intrigued about Manav's past history. Why is everyone so interested.

Mukesh.Kumar

That is an intriguing twist. Why the Finns? Is all of this a further subterfuge from the Russians? Now I won't be able to sleep properly thinking about which way the next torn is going to be in. Eagerly awaiting next installment. Only this time I am scared that "Lily ke chakkar mein Manav fir s...

Mukesh.Kumar

Dada,

Weekend over and no more installments.

Ye Liliya ka chakkar bahut gadbad hai. Every time she appears on the scene our Manav disappears for a long time.

Mukesh.Kumar

Great Dada.

Eagerly awaiting Indra's return from behind the clouds.

Mukesh.Kumar

Dada yeh dil maange more.

Hoping against hope for another segment tomorrow.

I am neither saying that this photograph shouldn't have been published nor that it is unfair to criticize it. Journalistic standards in India leave a lot to be desired, however, freedom of the press is one of our strengths. It allows us to see all aspects. Wherever people have tried to hide away uns...

Bheem, weight of Arjun MArk-2 can fall by 5 tons due to reduction in internal volume How are you calculating this reduction? Is the weight reduction coming from the reduced size of the engine only? Or are you factoring in a redesign of the whole body to a smaller size, thereby a reduction in overall...

India moving ahead on emergency oil storage facilities. The first oil tank near Vizag is supposed to be up by middle of next year.

China building new roads from Tibet to Nepal. Engineers from China have begun creating a road through previously inaccessible mountains to try and connect Nepal to Tibet, and China beyond. The aim is to modernise trade routes on a new Asian ''super highway''. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/84...

One last one b4 I go below. Vasu may have expressed something exactly, something that I was trying to allude in an extremely roundabout manner. Couldn't it be that the news in TOI is being used as a public opinion softener as a prelude to getting India to commit to a military force in Afghanistan on...

Mukesh.Kumar

Dear Rudra, While the news looks good at face value, why not probe. If the data's opinion expressed in TOI is valid great, but always helps to check. The Like to Like comparison debates the interpretation by newspapers in Indian and Paki popularty figures- 71% vs 2% See below: India 2010 2009 % % Ve...

Mukesh.Kumar

Dear Milind, Maybe you'd be more familiar with how these multilateral funded surveys are carried out, but given what I have seen, it's always worthwhile not to get carried away. Looking into the details always helps. Now, if you had actually made the effort to go into the original report from which ...

Interestingly, BBC which carried news of the same poll did not mention any country specifically. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8448930.stm Same report different interpretations.
