Thought Stream — week of 29 Nov 2010

I do not think we need wikileaks to know what US diplomats think of Indian politicians.


Irony - We need wikileaks to figure out that our prime minister is a slave.


RED - Kickass.


Does this zero tolerance to disloyalty apply to people fueling sedition? - http://goo.gl/bbpa7


Finished “Skeleton Coast” by Clive Cussler. Brings back memories of Dirk Pitt.


Why does the media make it sound stripping your clothes to a bare minimum and dancing to raunchy numbers as an act of courage?


Next on reading list is the graphic novel series Buddha by Osamu Tezuka.


Buddha was a good read but takes liberties with the history of the time.


AFAIK, during those periods, slavery was not practiced in the way the book caricatures.


Also winning kings never indulged in wanton destruction and barbarianism. All these horrendous acts started after the Islamic conquest.


Girls with name Sheela will have a tough time for sometime :).


Saw a huge hoarding advertising google chrome browser. Surprised.


Question for the media to ask is not can Modi move beyond the taint of Gujarat riots? It is who tainted him based on hogwash?


As long as money is not amassed by ill gotten methods what is wrong if someone spends it lavishly?


Newspapers hardly print a pic of Sarkozy without Carla Bruni accompanying him.


I really do not get it when people complain about Gadkari son’s lavish wedding or Amabani’s new house or Mallya’s lavish life style.


If no one spends money, how economy will move? Look at the no of employment opportunities they create due to their lavish spending.
