Read on a tweet message a nice note about Barkha..

"
If Barkha Dutt were to move from India to Pakistan, it would increase the average IQ

Every country has its holiday schedule and we are no different. The argument that holidays result in loss of productivity is unsubstantiated. If employees work all 365 days a year, we will still experience a decline in productivity due to lack of rest. It is necessary to have holidays, more so, in the memory of the Father of the Nation. It is the only way many would remember Mahatma Gandhi.

Even if Shakespeare was around today, he would have to learn screenwriting. Not to say screenwriting is greater than Shakespeare.

Even today, they told me ‘Vaaippu illa’ (there is no chance). Who is giving who a chance here? They don’t understand our tolerance. This is such a serious issue!”My friend Mr.Gnanasammandam’s name in Madurai is also missing

David Blaker is a SriLankan state literary awardee, and like our Mount Road Maha Vishnu(for starters it is N. Ram) you cannot expect from him an unbaised write-up on the ongoing Sri-Lanka crisis. Nevertheless, it is quite heartening to read his critique of the emotional ourpouring of our Arundhati Roy, who has suddenly re-surfaced in mainstream media last week, started to feel very enraged by the Srilanka crisis and equates it to ethnic cleanising of Nazi era(now readers or the author herself has gotten tired of Narmada, Gujarat and the likes..now the latest pet project is lanka..). Excerpts from his article in Sunday Times..

Roy seems to be a victim of her own intellectual laziness. Her recent article in Times(as always sold exclusively to Hindu and one more paper)is mostly third hand information. Instead of delving into the real issues, Roy chooses to skm across what pricks her outrage the most. Roy prefers emotion and drama, and makes even well established facts sound like tribal tomtoms in the jungle
