Hamas is doing a horrible job of leading Palestinians. They are squandering away all the sympathy the world has for the Palestinian cause. They cannot defeat Israel militarily and just gives them more excuses to continue with the occupation. They need to change tack and instead attack the...
Bunch of youth doing something stupid. Haven't we all done that in varying degrees?
The authorities should make sure that there is no one brainwashing these kids., I hope these kids are not made to suffer for their moment of stupidity and are let off after a stern talking to.
I am not exactly sure what the RSS world view is. Not that I care much since I don't believe they are taken too seriously so I voted indifferent.
"Request only Indian members who are of dharmic faith(support base of RSS) to participate, to get a better picture/statistics."
I guess I...
I like the current setup where most of the holidays fall adjacent to a weekend. I prefer long weekends to religious holidays and will be upset of any of them are sacrificed to make way for another religious holiday.
As for Christmas, offices shut down for the entire week between Christmas and...
India has always opposed the Israeli occupation of Palestine. The vote simply continues with its existing policy. The current actions of Israel will not bring peace to the region and it needs to be reminded that it cannot just wish away the Palestinians in Gaza or the West Bank.
A friend can...
One bit I don't understand. Why does Egypt allow Israel to get away by putting up an embargo on Gaza? Don't they have a border with Gaza? They even had Muslim brotherhood ruling them. Why aren't they interested in helping out the Palestinians?
What is this Bombay Biryani? I've always bought packets of Shaan's Bombay Biryani Mix to make my biryanis.
I've lived in Bombay/Mumbai most of my life but have never tasted a Bombay Biryani. A bit like Bombay Aloo we get here in the UK.
In between all this China-Japan love demonstration, I think I need to point out that cultural links between Pakistan and India are much stronger than those between China and Japan. :p
Interesting that you bought up the axe. According to mythology, Kerala was created by the act of Parsuram throwing his axe towards the sea. The sea receded upto the point when the axe struck creating Kerala.

I was too busy eating and drinking and eating and drinking again :p
I've always wanted to go to Waynaad. I've only been to the coastal areas of Northern Kerela to which I have close connections.
I've eaten at Pakistani joints here in the UK. They are tasty but contain lots of oil and not as much sauce as I would like in it. Why don't you guys have more sauce in your curries. I am always scraping the dish with my naan towards the end of the meal.
I would much rather eat at a Pakistani...
Same experience here. Though I am from a higher caste, I had no idea what 'caste' was until the time I had to apply for an Engineering seat. That was the first time I realised that people were discriminated based on caste. I spent all my childhood in Bombay/Mumbai and was never made aware of my...
Hmm.. real video? Who stood there taking a video of voyager flying past the moons?
The video does state that the video was based on the pictures taken by voyager.
I believe it is time for humans to evolve again to stop using religion to support their insecurities. Humans are connected and better informed then ever before and have a better understanding of the world around them. There is no need of this emotional crutch any more.
