Senator Barack Obama hits back, with a message that he has been stressing all along - that Sen. Clinton just doesn’t get it!
I think Sen. Clinton must sue her campaign for ruining her run. My […]

Bus driver, as the shuttle reaches campus:
“All cellphones, iPods, umbrellas and gloves found on this bus belong to me. I have a yard sale at the end of the semester.”

A feature addition that has been pending for long is now finally underway. Gmail Chat now has added the Invisible mode, so users can now be logged into chat, but remain stealthy.
As a GTalk-aficionado, I was expecting to find the feature on my Google Talk client, but not yet. The announcement on the Google Blog […]

(I have been intending to write about this for quite some time now, but yesterday’s episode proved the catalyst.)
Over the past few weeks, I have become a huge fan of Vijay TV’s Neeya Naana. The talk show pits two groups of people against each other to discuss and argue about inane, inconclusive topics like “Are […]

The media is at its best when it does a post-mortem. And beware, they could do this to anyone if they know they are losing. However, Frank Rich’s clinical piece in The New York Times dissecting Hillary Clinton’s stuttering campaign is worth a read.
If the press were as prejudiced against Mrs. Clinton as her campaign […]

(Disclaimer: I am not a terrorist. I am not plotting anything.)
Now that Senator John McCain has virtually locked up the Republican nomination, it is surprising that Mike Huckabee is still staying in the race. Even more surprising is the fact that even in a dead race (like in Wisconsin), Sen. McCain is receiving only 55% […]

If they continue at this rate, you can expect the Clinton campaign to announce tomorrow “Barack Obama is guilty of plagiarism! Yes, he has used the word CHANGE in his campaign speeches. This word appears in the Oxford Dictionary. And it was used in the 13th century. What a shame!”
Wake up. Stop being childish! Is […]

Senator Barack Obama is projected to win the Wisconsin primary. And he is expected to take Hawaii later tonight. This will give him 10 straight victories over Senator Clinton - an unmistakeable momentum that will be hard to beat.
In the primaries season, we have already seen one clear case of momentum beating strategy - John […]

Avram Grant is one of the stories of the season in English football.
Most people expected Chelsea to implode after Jose Mourinho’s acrimonious departure from the club. On the contrary, Grant has been some kind of a calming influence at Stamford Bridge, with only two losses and five draws in the League since taking over from […]

Manchester United’s ripping apart of Arsenal in the fifth round of the FA Cup today is the kind of clinical performance that has been lacking from the Reds over the past fortnight. With Ronaldo and Giggs not even featuring on the teamsheet, and Scholes, Tevez and Saha on the bench, United’s task seemed tougher than […]

When Hillary Clinton said, way back in New Hampshire, that Vladimir Putin “doesn’t have a soul,” I figured that would be the sort of thing the Russian wouldn’t be pleased about. But when I called the foreign ministry the next day for comment, it was Orthodox Christmas, and I let it slide.
He was asked […]

A day after declaring that she was in the “solutions business” while her opponent was in the “promises business”, Senator Hillary Clinton paraded yet another of her gimmicks that make her seem stupid.
Oh, those are boxing gloves! So the next time you intend to tell someone you are ready to contest against them in an […]

Ever since I came to know that Kamal Hassan’s next project is titled Marmayogi, and that it is the title of a 1951 MGR movie, I have been trying to get the old movie. Any amount of search on the Internet has proved abortive. I cannot even find a single song from the movie, let […]

The republication this week by some European newspapers of the controversial cartoons depicting Prophet Mohammed as a terrorist (that caused considerable trouble a couple of years ago) reeks of intolerance, disrespect and sheer contempt for the feelings of other people. And for these newspapers to hide behind the comfortable veil of “freedom of speech” is […]

A recording of M.S. Subbulakshmi performing Purandaradasa’s Jagadho Dhaarana live at the United Nations. Such a moving song, and such soulful rendition, I can’t help being moved to tears every time I listen to it.

China is protesting remarks by the Indian Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh that Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India.
What do they think? Just because India is good at outsourced work, they give us a region that they think is theirs?
Or let us issue a statement that India considers Shanghai an integral part of […]

Why is it that often people who accuse others of being selfish do so because those being accused did not give in to their selfish demands?
