2008-04-01 02:23:00 A brief round-up of hot topics while Offstumped remains indisposed. The BJP seems hell bent on taking a suicidal path in Karnataka.

Rahul Gandhi wants to ?Discover? India - dhoondte rahe jaaoge !
2008-03-07 19:20:00 As Rahul Gandhi attempts his version of Bharat Ek Khoj 4 years after his Parliamentary debut it is clear that his record of the last 4 years has little to show by way of imagination, conviction or real accomplishment. As the poor Adivasis of Orissa dance to his tunes, they may as well realise that this Bharat ek Khoj could end up just being a case of "dhoondte rahe jaooge".

Rahul Gandhi! Start a Blog!
2007-12-11 21:56:00 Today I came across an article in New York Times - 'From Iran's Fiery Leader, a Slightly Tamer Blog' that informed the readers about the blog maintained by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran. Was really surprised on hearing that.If the fiery leader of Iran could maintain a blog, what prevents any of our Indian political leaders to do the same thing? It would provide each of them an opportunity/platform to interact with the public and discuss the rational for their various policies. Also the person's popularity among the youth and IT crowd would go up one or two notches.It is even acceptable that we can not expect these things from the oldies like Advani(Presidential Candidate, BJP) or Mr. M Karunadhi(CM, Tamilnadu). But what prevents the younger generation leaders like Maran, Rahul Gandhi, etc to use the web/blogging as a medium to interact with the general public. Hope it happens soon.P.S: Link to Mahoumd Ahmadinejad' Blog - http://www.ahmadinejad.ir/

However it seems to have got its foot in its mouth on Day 1 itself. Perhaps carried away by the euphoria over India’s victory in the first ever T20 World Cup (thanks to Prasanna Vishy for pointing this out), Congress spin meister and spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi went head over heels to put a cricketing spin on Rahul Gandhi’s elevation with these words “The spirit of youth was reflected yesterday afternoon when Rahul Gandhi took over an important position and Dhoni and his team delivered a magnificent victory to India,” AICC spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi told reporters. “I have no doubt that Rahul Gandhi will return the compliment by decisively win...
