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

Large scale booth capturing and intimidation by TMC goons in the 2 seats in West Bengal that went to the polls today. Despite knowing what happened in the Panchayat elections, the EC has STILL only deployed Central Forces to 40% of the booths. They're too busy banning TV channels and movies till aft...

This is for all General Class people, not Upper caste. That means it applies to non - Hindus as well. Also provides for 10 percent reservation in non - Minority educational institutions.

Praveen Patil has gone AWOL in his tweeter feed, not a good sign.
He just posted, stated that his model gives BJP the edge across all 3 states they are contenders in.

Re: Election Discussions - National, State etc

My by poll analysis. Assembly bypolls are too local to draw any inference. Mostly the incumbents have won except one seat in BH which is in the Muslim dominated belt. JDU lost as it is now in alliance with BJP. LS numbers are BJP+ 2, other 2. BJP needs to mend fences with SS in MH for the time bein...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017

Yashwant Deshmukh analysed the trends in these by-elections, and extrapolated to the whole of the state. Congress 139 and BJP 53 in a house of 200 would be the result.

We got the Jio Fibre 100Mbps connection at home.500GB DL limit. Motabhai has decreed that it is in "test phase onlee", so it's free for the foreseeable future.

Ordered an Echo speaker for the house.
Convinced SHQ that our 5 year old can learn a lot from it by asking it questions for her general knowledge; little does she know that this was only step 1 in the masterplan to "smartify" the house.
Next up - Philips Hue smart lights.

Re: Travel Diaries

We visited SL this Diwali - Colombo, Yala and Unawatuna, near Galle.
Quite inexpensive by Indian standards. A tip - if travelling from India, don't convert your rupees to SL Rupees; instead, go for USD and convert them there. You'll get a far better exchange rate.

A used 6d/5d mark 2 and a walkaround lens like the tamron 17-50 would be good enough to start off. Decent enough for portraiture, landscape etc. You could rent/borrow long lenses if you want to shoot tele stuff.
Need a FF lens like the 24-105L for that. The 17-50 is a crop lens.
