excellent points 'squareleg' ... but the problem is that the middle class is really not a strong vote bank ... and even if it was then tree words - inflation, inflation, inflation ... every single opposition is going to harp on it like there is no tomorrow... never mind that world-wide the...

for me, the most defining position of the BJP was the babri masjid and the godhra riots. i think i'll always associate bjp with hindutva extremism.. so UPA is definitely lesser of the two evils.. but it seems to be perpetually in a see-saw .. there are times when it promotes capitalism and...

Insead always go for the non-conventional .. if anything, i think you make for an interesting applicant. I honestly don't see how there is any problem. Insead holds alot of information cseminars and they are very very good. Though a campus visit may be out of question for most of us but...

I know... Its fantastic ... woo-hoo!!!! .... seriously, i think its more of a personal achievement rather than that of a nation ... but i can't help feel so so happy :)

legalising prostitution helps safegaurd the workers in this profession.. being 'illegal' everyone from the 'handler' to the 'police officer' take advantage of the sex workers. Its actually been proved that legalising it helps prevent ppl forcing women into the profession. Sex workers abused by...

I was just seeing a news report . The report went on and on about how a billion ppl in this country and so few medals. It went ahead and tore apart the current athletes of the olympic contingent for their 'irresponsible' show at the games till now .. it said how these sportsperson had led the...
