Political Rampage: In the name of God
http://politicalrampage.blogspot.com/2009/04/in-name-of-god.html
Sunday, April 5, 2009. In the name of God. A 9-year-old child is repeatedly raped by her step-father. And ends up pregnant. The tiny body, incapable of supporting even one fetus, ends up with twins. Giving birth may kill her, warn doctors, and carry out an abortion. The media latch on to the story and realize with a shudder that crimes of this genre - incestuous rape - are on a rise in their country, Brazil. And in this gruesome episode, what is the public outcry about? Whether the abortion is appropriate.

Political Rampage: Crime
http://politicalrampage.blogspot.com/2010/06/crime.html
Tuesday, June 8, 2010. By and large, I don't think much of Singapore papers and the tepid talk that passes for news in their pages. But this weekend they had me blurry-eyed with a headline they carried. It was the first thing I read that morning. Five sets of clothes. His curry pot. A rice cooker. An album of family photos. That was all he owned and they were put in a plastic bag and sent to Chennai with his body. And my 50 SPF for all that sun I'll face! Who needs Shakespeare to read tragedy? Journalist...

Political Rampage: June 2009
http://politicalrampage.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 7, 2009. Is not the sort of movie I see. But thanks to the barrage of trailers that any Bachchan starrer will unleash on the public, I know its story, and I know some of its dialogues. In one scene, the ungrateful son having usurped the house, the savings, as well as years of loved upbringing from his father, nonchalantly brushes him away saying: Come on Dad, let's face it! Whatever I am today is what I have made myself. What have you got to do with it? From other students. No coaching c...

Political Rampage: May 2009
http://politicalrampage.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 19, 2009. A divorce from reality. If there's one thing that this election has proven beyond doubt, it is that the mass media has no idea what it is talking about. Its polls are useless, its exit polls worthless, and it is more in touch with Salman Khan's gym regime than the opinion of the masses. It all started with an election coverage where media only grudgingly conceded that they didn't know who would win [ picked up by international media for what it was worth. But it isn't funny. Be...

Political Rampage: April 2009
http://politicalrampage.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 19, 2009. Lies, damned lies, and testimonies. So far as hoaxes go, this is amongst the worst kind. First the victims suffer in the hands of murdering communalists. Then one of their own refurbishes and contaminates testimonies in a misguided attempt to make them sound worse, leaving the victims to next suffer a skeptical public questioning their claims and disbelieving their motives. The SIT also found no truth in the following incidents widely publicised by the NGOs:. The SIT said it had b...

My friend and his opinion of a wife « Twisted DNA
http://www.twisted-dna.com/2006/11/07/my-friend-and-his-opinion-of-a-wife
Frivolous banter about life. A humorous look at Indian, American and Indian American culture. Pyramid of friendship ». My friend and his opinion of a wife. A few things are learned the hard way. I have circumstantial evidence that one of my friends did just that. I was tempted to say â œI told you soâ to him, but being a gentleman, I didnâ t. I will just write a blog post about it. X: What do I do on that day? X: No, my question is do people go all the way on the first night itself? Me: I believe most wo...
