Have you noticed all the channels. I have been flipping channels from TimesNow to Republic to ABP to UndY. Nobody is talking about Pappu, not one word.
Let's face it - pappu is the best vote getter for the BJP. He MUST be the INC PM candidate in 2019 for BJP to stand a chance.

Re: Nukkad

How does one make Soft water hard in a house? Few months ago my son moved into a condo in Willow Glen area in San Jose. The first thing I noticed was I do not seem to wash off soap after shower. First I thought water must be hard but Chacha told me it is the other way round. The water is really sof...

Re: Nukkad

If you read any comments on any western news site about India, they are all very derogatory. Faux News is only one of them. I follow a forum about Apple products and whenever there is a story about Apple products in India, the comments are quite derogatory. Let them sleep I say and by 2030 when they...

UP has 225 million population vs. Karnataka has 67 million. In 2017 there were 195 communal incidents of violence in UP. In Karnataka there were 100. It seems in this regard UP is better off.

Re: Living out side India Cultural ramifications

Mort, even post retirement it is hard if you are not realistic. My uncle, US citizen, both kids well settled, retired and returned to India. Did not last long. Couldn't handle the heat, dust, grime, crowd, chaos. Returned to the US. So your imagination of India cannot be sentimental. India is a goo...

Re: Living out side India Cultural ramifications

Most of India's scientific establishment is trained abroad and many among them would have gotten a good job if they decided to stay back. The overwhelming majority of Indians abroad are doing the same job that they would otherwise do in India - nothing earth shattering. Just that they are better pa...

Re: The_Yogi watch dhaga

No surprise. The BIF came out and voted. The pro Hindu people stayed at home. Demonetization and GST, although both being good for country in the long term for extending the tax base, does have an impact on prices and those who’ve avoided taxes. They won’t be against the BJP, but remain ambivalent a...
