26/11 – just another date….

November has been an eventful month in terms of remembrances. So much so that i have forgotten half the things that we are supposed to remember.  The most noise however, was for Nehru’s & then Indra Gandhi’s  birth anniversary, the Babri Masjid Demolition – thanks to the tabling of the Liberhan committee report and now [...]

Austerity 09 – Random Thoughts

It has been interesting to see the Government at work. And, although there is a tremendous amount of twittering (as opposed to tweeting) and sniggering - austerity not a bad idea.
