Whereas, in India, unless a 100,000 die it is routine." - the harsh truth is - in a country of a billion people, human life is the cheapest thing you can have. “And it may seem churlish of me to bring up this point, but in the west, if a single person dies in something like this it is a calamity.

It is a Myanmarese word that means ‘flattened’. - which probably works just as well for love as well:) i agree - john abraham (or was it marc robinson) rescuing his pastry from the approaching floodwater, and some other git complaining about his manicure getting wasted probably sells more papers than News!. Which is where i guess alernative media come in. But the sight of Tehelka crawling before the Congress Party has put paid to that hope as well. Hi
