Will Prabhakaran survive the Sri Lankan onslaught?
 |
The LTTE is losing ground, literally, and very fast at that. They have lost their HQs at Killinochhi and now they are holed up in their last remaining stronghold of Mullaittivu. Sri Lankan forces have cut off all logistic and escape routes from Mullaittivu. Most people are giving just a few days more to LTTE.... |
My heart goes out to John Travolta and Kelly Preston
 |
My heart goes out to John Travolta and Kelly Preston. Losing a 16 year old only son is as tragic as it can get. It is at times like this one realizes how small we are in front of the creator. We may have all the money in the world but when God decides to take something we can do nothing. Absolutely nothing.... |
US has changed it's position
 |
Quite predictably, US has conveniently changed it's position on handing over of terrorists to India. Initially it seemed that they may do the correct thing when we heard some reports wherein they had asked Pak Govt to hand over the terrorists to India. But now they have done a complete U-turn on this issue. They are now saying that Pak should prosecute the terrorists in Pakistan itself. Slowly and slowly their stance is watering down.... |
Manish is back. YAHOOO!!!!

Yeah, he's back. He was away for good ten days and during these ten days my kids really had my happiness. When Manish is around I do manage to get some time for myself, either in the evening or in the morning. But this time it was like absolutely crazy.... |
Is Israel justified in attacking Gaza Strip?
 |
Going by the demonstrations around the world against the air strikes by Israel on Gaza Strip people like you and me may get carried away by the number of casualties but the fact of the matter is that Israel has been on the receiving end ever since the cease fire agreement lapsed a few weeks ago. Even before the ceasefire ended Hamas routinely fired rockets into Israel. Hamas, as we all know,... |

India should learn from Israel
 |
The latest series of attacks on Gaza Strip is their reply to Hamas who has been routinely attacking innocents in Israel for the last few months. They don't take crap from anyone. They do what is good for them. The world opinion be damned. In fact, as far as current strikes are concerned, all that US has said is 'avoid civilian casualties'.... |

Getting a flat belly!!!!!
 |
I am second-time mother of a not yet 4-month old. Now my baby has some kind of routine which allows me time to think about myself among other things. And believe me this ‘ME TIME” is something I was longing for a long long time. I have always been a fitness freak and more so now after two babies through c-section. So the first thing on my mind is getting back into shape and more so into my old jeans without holding my breath. Ya, that's a trick which works if you put on a few pounds……... |

Taliban vows to fight alongside Pak army
 |
It just doesn't make sense. Unless, off course, if the relationship between Pak army and Pak Taliban is not of enemies but of friends, in which case the whole thing of Pakistan being ally in 'war on terror' becomes a farce. So who is fooling whom here? ... |

Don't blame ISI for this mess
 |
To say that ISI is responsible for the terrorist activities in India would be like missing the point completely. Also, to state that these are 'non state actors' who are involved would be an even bigger folly. The truth is that it is the state which is using these agencies and individuals to further it's own political agenda of 'bleeding India through a thousand cuts'.... |

What a stupid climbdown!

People should not speak when they don't have to. Unfortunately, AR Antulay did and now he's made to look like an absolute fool by his own party. It was bound to happen. When you are a minister in the govt you can't shoot your mouth off the way he did when he claimed that there was a doubt in the way Hemant Karkare died.... |

Should India attack Pakistan?
 |
My heart says YES. Pakistan is one country who has been sponsoring terror not just in India but throughout the world. The Pakistani govt may deny it's involvement in terror attacks but the fact of the matter is that there are people within it's establishment who sponsor terror, at least the ones directed against India.... |
Is this a 'sign' of something?
 |
The 'shoe throw' on George Bush during his visit to Iraq was not just a shoe throw. It was a 'symbol' more than anything else. It was a symbol of contempt with which the Americans are held in the Muslim world, especially in the Middle East. I'm not an enemy of America. In fact I appreciate the free spirit of the American system. But on this issue I feel that America has blundered and blundered big time.... |

Why do husbands do this?
 |
I'm angry. Terribly angry. And that's because Manish has quite conveniently gone to Austria and Switzerland alone for TWO WEEKS. He says that it's an official tour. Moreover, since we are yet to get a passport made for Aleena it would not be possible for any of us to go. I just don't like this. This is not the first time that he has done this to us.... |

Should India listen to US and UK?

First Condi Rice. Then John Brown and lastly John Kerry. Why are they all here? Yeah, why? They were all here just to ensure that India does not launch a war on Pakistan. All of them have done some hard talk on this issue and have gone to Pakistan to say the same thing what they said here in India and that is ... |

Can we trust Asif Ali Zardari?
 |
On the face of it absolutely NO. After all wasn´t he the one who was called Mr Ten percent when Benazir was prime minister? Isn´t he the same man who has exploited the death of his wife to propel himself to the seat of President of Pakistan? Yes he sure is the same scheming person who has made the most of his wife´s position both during the time she alive and after she died as well. But politics and life are not zero sum games.... |

US double speak
 |
Yes, US is doing doublespeak. I just saw Condoleeza Rice speaking to the Indian media. What emerged was the usual rhetoric which we have heard from US in the past that Pak must help India and that they have promised to do so. She also said that she is quite convinced that they will. That's what is called utter non sense. Haven't we heard the same crap before? Don't you guys remember Tony Blair doing this on behalf of George Bush when our Parliament was attacked?... |

I’m weeping today, literally. I'm weeping because our polity can still not come together to fight this monster. I'm weeping because I know our leaders will go back to their routine of stupid rhetoric and no action in a few months from now.
