Re: Love & Marriage Nukkad

This is clearly not an L&M topic but anyways... I don't know the backstory on this but clearly she is on the wrong to have hit the guard first (if indeed she hit him first). He's there as a professional to do his job and she's not his sister or friend or GF or anything like that to make it acceptabl...

Re: Nukkad

It's been almost an year, I am still wondering what led to the closure of BRF GDF. I was not very regular at GDF, as I was with Mil, but it was a good thread to spice up office time once a week or so.....On a serious note, this attack by BIF forces demonstrates how just a change in hyperlink can de...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

Vikas First, no ji for me. Being an ex MLA is an ex position and not position of current authority. Health minister- any gaon ka gawaar can become health minister. Means nothing to me. There were people present with current authority. They have the first responsibility to act, whether they are the e...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

Reminds me of an article/story I read ages ago where a police crew had to respond to a person hit by a train. It was in pieces and one newly minted constable fainted after seeing the gore. The scene at Amritsar would have required really tough- minded emergency responders/civilians to handle the mas...

Not sure what she could have done really. It would have been a horrendous scene with body parts in profusion scattered on and around the tracks.

Actually, I do think SC can be 'blamed' for taking up this case when it did. With thousands of cases pending before the SC, it is very curious why they picked this one. I dont think they go by the date of filing.

Looks like GoSL was also doing lots of preperations in the background, after they had made up their mind that LTTE has to be finished once and for all. The Sri Lankan forces at that time was not among the best forces, and LTTE clearly had a upper hand there. But then without much fan fare GoSL had ...
