No question of appeasement -- just be wise; I said they should have been kept out of IPL without badly humiliating them . You say that like it was all intentional and well co-ordinated part (good if it were, they deserve it for making IPL move). But, you putting it that way will make it real for a ...

To add to my previous post, everybody played their part well. (1) Rahul/Sonia : Clearly identifying what they need to make it happen (2) T-vadis : Fulfilling requirements - Agitations, KCR's fast-onto-death (with idli sambar), exaggerating KCR's state reaching a cresendo on Dec 9th (3) Rossaih : &qu...

Soniaji was taken for a huge ride and I think she is realizing it. It cuts both ways. Telangana MPs have followed Yuvraj's cue well, in letter and spirit (Refer to Yashki's letter page1 & page2 ). The letter dated Nov29th, clearly outlines the necessary steps to create a conducive atmosphere fo...

If Pakistan fails, a lot of companies will lose a huge chunk of business. So Pakistan will not be allowed to fail. Not just by the west, but by Indian industry which is also making money directly or indirectly. On a similar note, I was glad when PA was dithering to allow Indian movies. Since the In...

What is the "Kalidasa option" that pops up on various threads?

a_kumar

No, it is about money, real estate, investment, future stakes in the money game, etc. In short, a post-modernist interpretation of what a "kingdom" will look like. After reading much of this thread, the main issues seem to be just that :). Unfortunately, this is all clouded in verbiage an...

Ramana garu, Not sure if we can tar everyone of those as communists. Do you have anything to back your claim.

Satya, It was a potshot at KCR (or anybody who subscribes to that view) for his comment on Hyderabad is mutton in the mutton biryani. No point looking at it in isolation! At the risk of stating the obvious, its aimed at the POV that "The riches of Hyd only belong to Telangana or T-vadis". ...

Another movie I vividly remember in Telugu is called "adavilo abhimanyudu" (Abhimanyu in Jungle) 1989 starring Jagapathi Babu. Basically, its about an army commando on a official mission to rescue his ex-girlfriends husband!!! My memory could be wrong, but I don't think it had any any song...

X-posting from TSP thread.. Feel free to move to another as needed.

I liked the TV serial Fauji since it was near perfect except officers of his rank could not have lived in such palatial houses. This is the first series that left quite an impression as a kid! Amazing. Infact, I have adored SRK of those days (not sure if folks remember Circus and another short movi...

If this thought process is pushed it will be only a matter of time before Indian WKKs will ask "Why were these so called terrorists not captured alive? Encounter counter killiiiing!!! Human rights!! :(( :(( " This is only a variant of that. Now just go back to the transcript of the conver...

Yes. Kasab wasn't meant to be captured alive. However, I find it very hard to believe that the we are killing every single terrorist that we encounter. I am sure that there are a few people that surrender in the middle of an encounter and others that are wounded. However the IA seems to have a take...

Currently AP has 3 major urban centers (Hyd, Vijaywada, Vizag) of which 2 (Hyd and Vizag) are of significance from a large scale investment perspective.

If GoI could do anything about it, then it should whole-heartedly work towards getting these guys a bail. There is no way they will even get a peek at these guys otherwise! Gov can indefinitely hide behind the checks and balances. To their credit, these checks and balances do indeed make it difficult.
