Now, tenders to rid Patna off pigs! from HT

"Bihar's pig saga continues. After first deciding to shoot pigs at sight, then overturning it and suggesting they be sent to forests instead, authorities here have now declared that tenders would be floated to catch them."

outsourcing!!!!!!!!!!

Editor Outsources Everyday Life to India abc news

"For one month, a team in Bangalore, India, paid Jacobs' bills, bought gifts for his family and even called his parents for their weekly chat.
When Jacobs got into a fight with his wife, Julie, he outsourced his complaint to his assistant, Asha.
Asha wrote in an e-mail to Julie: "Julie, do understand your anger that I forgot to pick up the cash at the ATM. I have been forgetful and I am sorry about that, but it does not change the fact that I love you very much."
Asha also sent Julie a card with hugging teddy bears.
"I thought it was totally pathetic," Julie Jacobs said. "AJ, who does not like confrontation whatsoever, was now using a woman 4,000 miles away to handle my confrontation skills.""

another fatwa

there goes another one....

Only veiled muslim women are allowed to stand in elections.

lets see how long before india becomes afganistan or pakistan. i wish there are some muslims(indians) who will stand up against these fatwas because if a non-muslim does it will invariablily become a fight against religion. and we know what people are capable of doing in the name of religion.

creation vs evolution (another view :))

A life with no purpose from hindu

"We lose far more than that. Darwinian evolution tells us that we are incipient compost: assemblages of complex molecules that - for no greater purpose than to secure sources of energy against competing claims - have developed the ability to speculate. After a few score years, the molecules disaggregate and return whence they came. Period.
As a gardener and ecologist, I find this oddly comforting. I like the idea of literal reincarnation: that the molecules of which I am composed will, once I have rotted, be incorporated into other organisms. Bits of me will be pushing through the growing tips of trees, will creep over them as caterpillars, will hunt those caterpillars as birds. When I die, I'd like to be buried in a fashion that ensures that no part of me is wasted. Then I can claim to have been of some use after all. "
...
"It seems to me that we are the happy ones. We, alone among organisms, who perceive eternity, and know that the world will carry on without us."

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY

"Father, let my country awake!"
Rabindranath Tagore’s Prayer

Father, Let my Country awake!
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls.
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit.
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever widening thought and action
-Into the heaven of Freedom, My Father, Let my Country awake!

quote on india

If there is one place on the face of earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India!
-- French scholar Romaine Rolland
