Pakistan's Tourist Trap
Some stories you just can't make up.
Like this one from the Washington Post. We bet the writer of the headline spent hours in wonder before delivering this bit of brilliance: Pakistan struggles to attract tourists amid violence.
Ah, we see. Is that what it is?

It can be difficult to be country that even Republican Congressman and American Presidential pretender Michelle Bachmann knows enough about to describe it as “too nuclear to fail”. That, in case, you were wondering, is Pakistan.

Pak's Ad-dled Campaign
On September 11, the 10th anniversary of 9/11, many Americans opened their newspapers and found a full-age ad taken out by the Pakistan Government. Those ads were meant to project Pakistan as a frontline state against terrorism rather than the headquarters of Jiahdi Terror Inc.

Bihari on the train
There was this Bihari who was travelling with two tickets, so when the T.T.E asked for the ticket, this fellow gave both the tickets, and so the T.T.E asked him the reason of buying two tickets, this fellow answered well what will happen if in case I lose one of them, so the T.T.E said what if you lose both of them, so this guy said then why do I have a monthly pass.

These are some of the neologisms that Anna Hazare has spawned - in my mind. Blame it on the hysterically fawning electronic media; the faux but sincere Gandhian, poor man, had little to do with them. Please feel free to exercise your inalienable right to add as many more to the broth as... » READ MORE
India’s not playing too well,
Defeat has a sour smell,
Tired bowlers can take no wickets,
Flashy bats keep punching their tickets,
Blame it all on the IPL.
Among the ruins, standing tall,
Is the man we call The Wall,
Dravid, recalled to the one-days,
For the BCCI may as well say,

Once upon a time, you really hadn't arrived in Indian politics unless you'd had footwear hurled at you. But things change fast in politics and the flavour of the day is the slap.
And, as ever, the Chinese are watching (or reading your emails). And sensing an opportunity, they want to jump in to the... » READ MORE
