THE RIGHT STUFF IN THE WRONG PLACE
Most of us know by now about Chuck Yeager: World War II ace, first man to break the sound barrier, star of TV...
You are assuming too much. Hindutva may be the most identifiable one, but its not BJP's sole election plank. Modi has not only sustained Gujarat's impressive growth but increased it.
Good News from Pakistan
As hardened reporters, we would often joke in our newsroom that we would one day open a channel that would only air news brimming with optimism, to the point of being sickening. Imagine our surprise and dismay when we hear of a channel launching by the name of Good...
Yeah. I saw that one. And I particularly liked Dean Jones' comment about crossing hundreds of fields and training grounds on his way home from Melbourne airport. He compared that with his ride from the Delhi Airport. Needless to say, he didnt see one ground. I live in Gurgaon, supposedly India's...
I think training and expereince will help him go a long way. He needs to train with the best. Unfortunately, that hasnt been easy in the sub-continent. Apart from training stints in Cuba, I dont think Indian boxers have had good training. There was an instance, when Vijender, the Olympic bronze...

1. Because you just want Pakistanis to post on it? Why not ban all non-Pakistani members from posting there then?
2. And sarcasm is not a virtue now? Why cant I use sarcasm?
Anyway, let me try again. Let me know if it passes your ideal-post filters this...
