^^ Yeah, and the easy award from the hon SC for BLR's drinking water means no incentive for BBMP to develop alternate/water sources. More lakes will perish to the builder mafia, after all Kaveri thai is there to keep giving. This also means no incentive to develop other cities in hinterland KA, so T...

^^ Aren't there WTO restrictions on blocking countries? If the US can fight India on solar panels, why couldn't the Chinese do the same w.r.t. US telecom policy?

For those who think Modi does not do enough on Hindu issues, or does not care, who brought the Yogi as UP CM? A strong mandate did result in something strong, didn't it? Yes, the 2014 LS was a strong mandate, but was it on based on Hindu issues, unlike in UP? The LS was a strong mandate against corr...

So karthik wants BIF to win, he is a BIF man. Saar, this is the age old Hindu tendency of making best the enemy of good enough, and in the process, let in the worst through the door. How I wish people use this time of a "not good enough" Modi to build and entrench an ecosystem that is unabashedly I...

Here we go again, one more round of rona-dhona. Sigh.

On what basis are the protesting doctors call Ayurvedic and other streams as quacks? They are also trained in their respective fields, and will still need a bridge course to gain qualification. I have never heard of an Ayurvedic "quack", it's usually assumed to be an MBBS type. Given the quality of ...

^^ Watching this crap

What happened to Nukkad? Did anyone see it recently?

Back into the cave, much warmer there during these cold days...

To people who use ORR for your daily commute in BLR, any help in identifying which sections of ORR are being closed/jammed for white topping would help immensely. Thx... Only hearsay, since I don't commute via ORR. The white topping work is between Nagawara and Tin factory. But ORR being what it is...

SRoy, I have reported your post for abusive language. You know which one.

^^ It means "are you wearing the (Sabarimalai) garland?"

Btw, what's "hyacha"? Auto-correct or some word I've never heard of?

bugging an opposition politician's home is not lightly done in a democracy like ours. the venue was very carefully chosen and I dont think it was bugged. You're right, that's why the government cannot reveal anything even if they did. But I am sure MSA is on our intel agencies' sights after his "su...

We are assuming that RAW wasn't snooping in on the meeting. On what basis? Maybe the government knows that nothing actionable was said, or revealing our ability to snoop was not worth it. So do the next best thing, score a political point. Politically, I don't think we have heard the last of it.

My thoughts are similar to Singha saar's on this. There definitely was a formation that was later made into a road, a long time ago (Ramayana time and earlier), and went under once the sea levels rose up. According to one estimate I recall reading on BRF or some other forum, the Ramayana could be as...

Didn't MH ban Deepavali as well this year? Figures.

But - there is NO sentence in the law that "Govt will protect all PSU banks' deposits". There is no such sentence because it already exists. In law. Since 1962. In fact, India was the 2nd country in the world to introduce something like this. Trust RM-ji to spread some verbose FUD without looking a...

^^ Apart from the big bad capitalist and benevolent socialistic state .

But, I like the movie a lot. A great set of special effects to recreate a coal mine and its tragical flooding. Keep in mind, it was a film made in the seventies, when there was no animation or CGI.

Some people at my KB had volunteered at Akshayapatra's base kitchen in Rajajinagar (IIRC) in BLR. Genuine only, associated with Iskcon.

This below is from NM's verified twitter account. Has a recent video of NM speaking at a rally in GJ in Gujarati. Narendra Modi‏Verified account @narendramodi 56m56 minutes ago A few days ago I had said three things- for Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and the Congress. Since then, UP has voted BJP and the ...

One of the problems I have experienced is that many Indians get very touchy and sensitive when one raises issues in how Indian processes work. For example, 18 months ago, I had trouble renewing the PIO card for my son and the process was equivalent of getting a new card. Many members here justified...

"Healthcare is a big scam in India" ^^ :lol: My experience is the exact opposite... US healthcare system is an even bigger scam, looking to milk patients based on the level of insurance. Not to mention poor diagnosis skills leading to misdiagnosed results and further complications. So much for TFTA....

In a country like India it is not that easy. First step is to link everything to Adhaar, verify and for system to stabilize for every citizen. If and when the govt implements NRC you have no idea how much documentation you will require to prove you are a citizen. Saar, at that point, we'll hear NRC...

#Blow2Modi. #TheMudiShudRejine ... Yes, everything is Modi's fault onlee. No need to think beyond one's own ivory tower. Bash on, regardless. This is the standard reaction of bhakts to even half a sentence of criticising modi. :lol: Cognitive dissonance :D It is my democratic right to criticise the...

#Blow2Modi. #TheMudiShudRejine I suppose the non bhakts above haven't linked their Aadhaar with bank accounts. Otherwise, they'd have known that it is a simple entry in a form without 2 factor authentication (SMS to the RMN or cross checking with the Aadhaar DB). Given that, it is easy to imagine wr...
