		<description>so, finally w will have a babu sitting over the internet and deciding on what we can write and we cant.  Hmmm.... Not to worry, someone will go to the courts and the whole thing will die down.

As for Mayawati, these results have really jolted her our of her sleep.  Hope UP sees at least some progress in the next 1-2 years before the elections happen.

As for MMS, hope he lives up to his 100 day promise.  Else, its time to hold his feet to fire.  He has no excuses this time.  The commies are gone, the BJP is decimated and Sonia auntie is giving him a free hand.  The only problem is Mamta auntie, but she can be controlled by Sonia.</description>

		<description>@Amit - She is a smart woman - adept at playing the political game. Transfers are how UP works. When Mulayam Singh comes to power he transfers all Maya appointees, and she repeats the favor when its her turn.

About that van, i too would be very interested in seeing what&#039;s inside that 14m bad boy!

@Vinod - Indeed, she is an expert at politics. I wont be surprised if she bounces back bigger and stronger, though her caste politics isnt very good for the welfare of the state.

@Kavi - Very soon! This was probably the second last weekly roundup from New york. 

And yea, you must have noticed the lack of IPL coverage on this blog. I have lost touch with cricket these past few years, and am happy i am not wasting entire days watching cricket matches :)</description>
