Today will be remembered in the annals of Indian history as All-is-Well day. Thanks to the Bharat Bandh organized by our Opposition parties to protest against rampant price rise. Prices have been rising ever since the UPA government came to power. For a while we thought UPA stands for Upwards Prices Alliance. After suffering so...
While we lesser minions get to carve a cake once a year, UP chief minister Mayawati carved a new district out of some parts of Uttar Pradesh last week.

Nitish Kumar is angry. Very angry. How dare Narendra Modi put up a poster showing them holding hands (awww…)? This when the Bihar Chief Minister had been eyeing the Muslim vote ahead of the assembly election. Apparently, Modi should have taken Kumar’s permission before using his picture in the ad. Now after this terrible...
How do you ensure the success of the biggest airport terminal ever built in India? By invoking the gods, going by Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL)’s example.

Ever heard the phrase headless chickens? Watch this! As if the NDTV guy panting and puffing wasn’t enough, watch the Times Now crew playing in the background.

82 year old Prahlad Jani is a remarkable man, if his claim of living for the past 70 years without any food or water is true. Mr Jani, who claims to have left home aged seven and lived as a wandering sadhu or holy man in Rajasthan, is regarded as a ‘breatharian’ who can...
India and Pakistan are in the midst of massive war games along the Thar desert. Within a misfired shot from each other. This could be a great chance to resolve the conflict once and for all. Both countries can then return the unused ammunition wherever it came from, and use the money to feed...

Raj Thackeray’s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), a Mumbai nationalist street gang and political...
This must be a slap on every proud Mumbaikar’s face. Raj Thackeray apparently referred to the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus as – horror of horrors – VT! (Victoria Terminus, the name the goras left us with). This is totally unacceptable. What next? Will they start calling the city ‘Bombay’? Oh dear god, where art thou?
This made an interesting news report. The Indian government has placed an order of 12 AW01 helicopters that will be used for ferrying our VIPs, at a jaw dropping cost of EUR 560 million.
