A Sign at Ramlila Maidan, August 27th.
Talking about Anna Hazare, corruption, spirituality, religion, civil society, livelihoods, and democracy; Just how much snark is good for you?
Now that a 72 year old man is not fasting unto death, skeptics feel emboldened to snark at the spiritually slanted and RSS tinged anti-corruption protests initiated by those obnoxiously self righteous civil society types and embraced by those jingoistic roly-poly urban middle class couch potato types.
Did you know Wikileaks...
Did you know these ten facts about Wikileaks and its founder Julian Assange?
How do you solve a problem like tobacco?
I am in favor of drug rehabilitation programs, government regulation and social experimentation with prevention tactics to find the most effective ways to help people eschew harmful substances like alcohol, cigarettes and drugs for life from a young age.
Sexism and Indiblogger.in
I spent a couple of hours battling sexism that was unearthed during a debate about making policy to protect members from plagiarism at the Indian blogging community site, Indiblogger.in yesterday.

A time to talk. A time to do.
9:35 PM

Image by vm2827 via FlickrWhile many are coming round to the view that a wider consultation is necessary to fend off a terrible government bill, Anna Hazare is in no mood to allow the government to waste any more time.
If the government does not show sincerity now, this situation is likely to spiral out of control. Despite appeals from Justice Hegde and others to stop his fast, Anna Hazare is in no mood to relent before his mission is completed.
Reminder: Anna Hazare is only asking for the government to introduce the Janlokpal draft in the Lok Sabha.

Whatay Scandal ~ Murdoch Stops the Presses: News of the World Shuts Down
10:31 AM
Pundit
This phone hacking scandal has captured the fancy of every single international journalist on my Twitter timeline. The Indian ones - not so much. But of course, the hungama has only just begun with the closing of the News of the World and this scandal threatens to become the beginning of the end of the Murdoch empire. Wishful thinking? Perhaps. Perhaps. Perhaps.Friday, July 8, 2011

People are scum
9:07 PM

Shield your eyes. Here comes a rant about the people behind the politics.
People are scum. People who've never been in a position of powerlessness in their lives will never understand what it feels like. It's incredible how quickly logic and reason and merit goes out the window for ego and petty power plays. If you hate conflict like me, here's a piece of advice. Force the issue. You will learn a lot about people. For some people, ain't no such thang as empathy. I was too young back then but I will never forget PVNR for this line ~ No decision is also a decision. When your case has merit, silence means you're right but you're never going to win. If that which is most precious to you is utterly irrelevant to someone, that someone is no one to you. Upside of sensitivity. You understand people. Downside of sensitivity. People don't understand you. The most inexplicable douche bags are the ones closest to you. Only the incompetent idiots protect and defend the incompetent idiots. You can tell a lot about a person from their abode. Obfuscation and misdirection is an insult to my intelligence. You want to discredit me by addling my brains enough to drive me to drink & drugs? I'm too smart for you. I don't fall for such weak sauce. I am stronger than you can ever hope to comprehend.
