Yes, that is why I said it is still too early to judge his performance. His start was great, and his follow up was not so good, but he is still headed in the correct direction. Let's give him some more time to see what he actually ends up achieving.

Common man if he dose not lie how can he feed his family?? Donn you see his blogs link bait .... Of course he will lie. How else will he get people to visit his blogs of bowine crap.
But I am surprised... Such kind of threads deserve double digit positive rating. Lies, Misinformation and general degradation of India are a recipe for positive ratings out here.

Riaz Haq saab you should have attended the meeting and should have raised the issues with Modi during question hour.
That is a better choice IMO.

Pakistan’s new Eurobond earns lukewarm response
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s third attempt in the last year and a half to raise debt by floating a dollar-denominated Eurobond has received a lukewarm response from international investors, restricting its option to borrow only $500 million at a very high interest rate of 8.25%.
IMF probing govt’s numbers on last year’s fiscal deficit
In an article published in the London-based Financial Times on Sunday, economist and former finance minister Hafiz Pasha expressed similar views, saying, “In our close to 70 years’ history, we’ve never had a government that fudged statistics to the extent of this one.” He said the actual 2015 budget deficit including circular debt was closer to 8.5% of GDP, not the 5.3% the government claimed.

He probably would not have made it past security, given the nature of the potential engagement.

You should have thought long and hard before buying that ticket.
#India's #Modi claims ancient #Hindus did plastic surgery, found stem cells, built TV, nukes, missiles,airplanes,cars http://on.ft.com/1AxgDrG
Narendra Modi, Indian prime minister, has relaunched his country’s controversial claims to some of the world’s greatest scientific achievements with his suggestion that ancient India was adept at genetics and plastic surgery, including the grafting of the elephant’s head onto the god Ganesh.
His remarks – ironically made at the opening of a high-tech hospital in Mumbai – have revived a political debate about the growing influence of the right-wing Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (the Organisation of National Volunteers) over the governing Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata party.
Hindu fundamentalists are delighted by Mr Modi’s words, left-wingers are appalled or mocking and many foreigners are simply bemused that India’s real cultural, scientific and medical achievements are being overshadowed by simplistic references to the mythological past.
“For the intelligentsia and the educated people it’s so preposterous and absurd I think they don’t want to comment on it,” says political commentator Vinod Mehta. He argues that Mr Modi is currying favour with the Hindu right to secure their support. “Periodically you will hear him say these kinds of thing. I don’t think there’s a 1 per cent chance that the prime minister believes it.”
Here are five types of achievements claimed for ancient India:
• Stem cell research and other medical advances such as plastic surgery: Mr Modi mentioned the miraculous birth of the warrior king Karna in the Mahabharata, the Hindu epic, outside his mother’s womb as evidence that “genetic science was present at that time”. As for Ganesh, he said there must have been a surgeon who grafted the elephant head onto a human body “and began the practice of plastic surgery”.
• Cars and aircraft: Indian legends refer to horseless chariots and to aeroplane-like vehicles called vimanas. In the Mahabharata, the hero Arjuna, for example, sees “an incredible ship of the sky” which lands softly on the ground. “Wonderful lights flashed on the vimana’s smooth body. As Arjuna rose and approached the craft, a door opened at its side and a flight of steps flowed out from it.”
• Nuclear weapons and high-speed missiles: Arjuna’s arrows are often likened to missiles, sometimes with deadly payloads. At one point he shoots “a silver shaft charged with that final weapon” at his enemies. “It is an adamantine thunderbolt… Like a small sun, it erupts among the Trigarta legions and nine of every ten men Susharma brought to war are pillars of ash.”
•Televsion: A controversial book by retired schoolteacher Dinanath Batra, distributed in schools in Mr Modi’s home state of Gujarat, lays claim not only to motorcars and stem cell research but also to television in ancient India. Indian sages, it says, use their yogic powers to attain visions, and one royal adviser receives a live telecast of the battle of Mahabharata. “There is no doubt that the invention of television goes back to this.”
• Mathematics: Like the claim to longstanding medical knowledge, this is based on real achievements in ancient times, even if many recent advances have been made beyond India’s frontiers. In particular India is credited with the system that became known as the “Arabic” numerals 0-9. Albert Einstein is quoted as saying: “We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.”
I didn't BUY the ticket. No one did. It was complimentary.

Yea, the 21st century does belong to India, I agree. But inside India and US only. The world isn't all moving towards India, nor does India has jobs that pay well by global standards. So the Century moves and so do people, where the best civilizations are, and that's certainly not India. Its still the US, the UK, France and all.
This is funny, the guy "Cries" telling his "hardship" stories to impress Americans and to make them feel responsible to help them. He asks for startup money for Indian businesses BUT....claims the Century belongs to India????
So where you need to COLLECT money, you show alligator tears, and where you need to boast and bullshiit, you say, the Century belongs to India?
Let's correct this. Modi on the stage now, "I wanted to announce, the 21st Century belongs to India. I just got plenty of money assured to me, so the startup businesses can run and with this foreign money, I am claiming that the 21st century belongs to India and I can think like that as no India will act sane and call me out on it"!!
