Re: Camera and Photography Thread -III
Singha, Mort Thanks for your recommendations, prices at CC generally drop on Thursdays; I am hoping for 10% more reduction this week. The parameters involved with DSLR are mindboggling at least for a newbie. Olympus Evolt 410 also seems like a good option for a beginner. Comes with two lens 14-42mm ...

Re: Camera and Photography Thread -III
I'd start with the Panny Lumix or the G10 and build up my skill level. You can always spend money. If the markets go further down and retailers/manufacturers are unable to sell inventory, you can buy for a good price then. Thanks! Mort, I myself was leaning towards Panny with its rave reviews and t...

Re: PRC Economy News and Discussions-II
Cross Posting from "A Nation on the March" thread as I think it may have relevance here also. I have never come across anything that even lightly praises India from the Canadians or their cousins in UK, but this might be a go with the flow kind of a thing evolving here. I was looking for a...

Re: Future strategic scenario for the Indian Subcontinent
Totally agree that there is this tremendous amount of dormant nationalism long neglected, and one of the prime causes is the cross cultural barriers. Language being the main culprit, sure English is a national integrator but it is not understood and/or appreciated by majority of populace. For a pers...

Re: India to consider sending 120,000 troops to Afghanistan
This is a superb idea. I just don’t understand some of the comments advocating that we would be doing this on behalf of the Brits or the Amrikhans. Why do we care if the US will use us and then betray us, so what? Let them think we are doing their dirty work. We should be (and ARE) in to serve and p...
