Smriti Irani has a done great job in that interview. She is one to watch out for in the years to come. If she also gets experience as a Minister and is able to demonstrate administrative experience, then she has the talent to reach great heights in the future....just a feeling that I got.

Raja Ram

My sources are indicating that the landslide is confirmed....I prefer to remain a doubter...let us wait for 16 May!

Raja Ram

I thought as much...there are usually two peaks for polling .....early morning and two hours before close. If the final tally goes past 60% overall, then I think it will be a positive super bonus for the BJP.

Raja Ram

Is it true that Gujarat voter turnout is not going to be high? If so, what does it imply?

Raja Ram

My father's name is not on the rolls anymore....he voted in the last assembly elections.....my mother and wife are there still. They did make an effort to see if the list many times and cross check if he was listed somewhere before they said his name is not there and advised me to take it up with th...

Raja Ram

Did my constitutional duty and voted at my polling booth just a short while ago, around 11:15 am. So far about 25% votes polled....BJP desk outside was well manned but not that much crowd. The big two Dravidian parties were also present. More crowd milling around AIADMK. Spoke to some there....many ...

Raja Ram

Ramana, My interactions are indicating that there is an impact by Modi for sure. The backlash against Congress is severe for a variety of reasons not restricted to corruption alone, but short shirt to TN on power, water and SL issue. Those voters who prefer national parties will come to BJP this tim...

Raja Ram

L. Ganesan and Pon Radhakrishnan most likely to win South Chennai and Kanyakumari...that is the word on the ground....2 ot 3 more likely wins with possibility of Coimbatore, Trichy

The person in the photograph seeking Jaya's blessings is not P. Chidambaram. It is some other AIADMK MP, likely to be Thambidurai

Raja Ram

shiv has a point. Indian Media is woefully misinformed about Pakistan. At least that is the most charitable explanation that we can give. In my view, the Indian media is not misinformed but are wilfully misinforming Indians about Pakistan. I do not know the exact reason for this. It could be an idea...

Raja Ram

jrjrao, Interesting post. What then lies in India's interest? For those who are familiar with my old rambles, I had concluded that the dispelling of two myths on which Pakistan's survival is being sold to India is the only answer. I do not want to do the old beaten record once again - except to remi...

Good to see more mods joining. All the best young gents! From an old plain forum hand! The original rambler

It is not over yet. There was reported heavy gunfire since 6:30 am. Apparently there are still some more terrorists holed up. People who stay in a building adjacent reported this. Other reports filtering through states that the place has been rigged up with a lot of explosives and it is going to tak...

JEM, I am here till Friday. We can meet. My yahoo mail id is working. You can reach me. Thank you all for your kind wishes for my safety. The following is what I gathered from interactions here. There has been a steady influx of Somali refugees across the border into Kenya and there are now settleme...

Raja Ram

Looks like that there is a heating up of for a final showdown. It looks like they want to blow up and the Israeli's are involved now. These are just news from various sources. Not confirmed.

Raja Ram

I am in Kenya and landed yesterday. My host here is my school mate. His wife and elder son had a providential escape. They just came out of the mall and minutes later the shooting started. Three Indian citizens are dead and all of them were known to them personally. Very decent folks. One of the dea...

Raja Ram

Shri B. Raman, was indeed a great son of India who in his distinguished career in the service of this nation has made tremendous contributions, often unnoticed for that was the nature of his service and job profile. His contributions in RAW's efforts in the Bangladesh Liberation was probably the epi...

The recent NK tests certainly has stirred up some interesting paradoxes for the great leaders of the western world. They waxed so eloquently on Non-proliferation and came up with so many treaties and arrangements to prevent it. Yet Karma is karma. The greatest defender of freedom, the bastion of non...

While the Aman ki Tamasha and cricket matches keep happening, a proud father Dr. N.K. Kalia continues his mission for justice. He is the father of our Capt. Saurabh Kalia. Here is a mail that he sent to another remarkable Indian, Shantanu Bhagwat, who has reproduced the mail with Dr. Kalia's permiss...

Gentle Rakshaks, The "No-War Pact" buzzword is to be seen in the right context. The re-elected President of the USA is committed to get his troops back from Afghanistan. He however, has to ensure there are no chance of any regrouping on both sides of the Durand line to create a base from w...

Raja Ram

Thanks gentlemen, it gives me a better perspective. Will also read up Vivek's scenario.

Raja Ram

Gentle Rakshaks, I am no expert in such things, but I have the following questions. 1. In an era of fast moving battles and conflicts that involve, high precision, standoff capabilities used to decimate a theatre from afar followed by fast and quick moving of forces to occupy, clear and establish co...

Raja Ram

It is indeed a tragic end to a brilliant mind! She was one of the few in the media who had the courage to write what she genuinely felt without resorting to niceties and bending her principles. While she was prolific and had a brilliant mind to go with it, her sometimes fiery passion would come in t...

Raja Ram

Gentle readers should note that criticism is directed only at MMS and not at Sonia G. for the western media she is still the saviour of India from going towards a Hindu right. She is the tragic queen sacrificing herself to the upliftment of the Indian masses.

Raja Ram

The print edition of New Indian Express carried out a story on Agni Sakshi - it is the launch pad for Agni V that has been developed by several DRDO entities. The story termed it as the unsung, not so well recognised technology development amongst the other more prominent technologies that have been...

A watershed event! This is what I have been waiting for since Shakti Tests! India's yet another tryst with destiny is achieved with this. My sincere thanks as a common citizen to the scientists and leaders who made this day possible...Jai Hind! Feels great! I am reminded of Kalam's famous poem "...

It is so tempting to enter into this debate on the new postulate - The best solution for India, for the short to medium term, is to have Pakistan in a trishanku naraka a modern parallel to the original trishanku swarga ! However, when some very good gurus of BRF are at it, it is not proper for rambl...

Raja Ram

I have always felt that the twin myths will be periodically propagated through a pliant bunch of media dalals, think tanks and some woolly headed "intellectuals". There is a constituency even in the highest realms of the babudom and political circles that engages in this type of fantasy. I...

Rajesh A, You have ambitions my friend!, but for such things to happen, the leadership of the GOI should be awake at the wheel!!...they are all too busy right now!

harbans,

just saw your post! the more the rambles the better it is!!

Raja Ram

The evolving situation in Pakistan is definitely filled with opportunities. To those who are ready to recognize them and sieze them. What is interesting to watch, gentle rakshaks, is the careful positioning of Kayani and his extreme caution in taking his corps commanders into confidence. Gone are th...

Gone are the days when Judges used to accord primacy to delivering justice and upholding the rule of Law. Usually judgements would be concerned more with facts and evidence presented, the points of law in question, the precedence and analysis of ratio decedendi and if at all there would be a comment...

First and initial reactions. This time around, the post incident response was far better organized, there was a clear set of protocols in place. The rescue services reached the spot, the Mumbai police QRT and ATS were there to secure the place, public response was calm and generally constructive, th...

The supreme court decision is fraught with risk on many counts. 1. There is a fine line between judicial activism to counter governmental apathy and constitutional overstepping. Our constitution depends on maintaining a fine balance of checks and balances. Therefore it is the context that determines...
