Coincidentally, a media related matter was one of the most heavily discussed things in the Indian Blogosphere this week; An expose on Bribe Taking MPs, “Operation Duryodhana”. Ajit Chauhan muses in its afermath; about how it has truly served as the end of all innocence, expressing worries about increasing skepticism and disbelief in the Indian political system, it has triggered. If you want to read more about Operation Duryodhana, DesiPundit is where you should be headed: You will find a good collection of posts about it. Next to Operation Duryodhana, the most interesting blogosphere buzz this week is a variant of the eternal capitalists vs socialists theme: A debate about regulations vs free-markets covered in detail, at DesiPundit again.

The Celebs are easy on eyes,easy on ears and u dont end up 'worrying' for them.No wonder Internet and Blogs have become the main media for serious news and thank god it is not just CNN and Fox as your only source!I think the chicken and egg are in two different parallels now.As usual refreshing post.
