The problem with comment moderation is that sometimes you inadvertently end up deleting comments. Sorry Sandip (I just saw your email), you double-posted the same comment and I end up deleting both and I one anonymous one also. Yikes!
Anyway, the jist is simple - while many Indians will never accept the idea of giving up Kashmir, maybe even half a century from now, and the argument will be used that so much blood has been spilled that we can't give it up. But starting with trifurcation of the state while in Indian control, done in a manner that the rivers keep flowing through Ladakh can be a start. Getting rid of the National Conference and the PDP can be step two (or step one). I'm thinking of the problem as a body part afflicted by frostbite, if you don't amputate it the pain is unbearable and you could die of gangarene. Sir Ranulph Fiennes is no less of an explorer because he misses the tops of the digits on his left hand is he.
Of course, there is the other solution - that is waiting for Pakistan to disintegrate, which without Mushy it just might. Imagine if we got Sindh back, our national anthem would sound complete again.

Wow...
So I'm a novice that knows jackshit about politics, what to do yaar! I just happen to know a lot more than you think. And about cracking my identity, I've said several times before it isn't a state secret by any stretch of the imagination. Thanks for the compliments any which way, as GW would say - 'Appreciate It, and thanks for letting us use your airspace to do dummy runs.'
And really people, those of you who think I know nothing about this or that - write your blogs and pontificate there, don't threaten me because those threats are irritating if nothing else. Irritating with a capital 'I'. Really! My blog, I'll put the aerlion pics up, and I know your IP address, so thanks!

Request...
One major reason I enabled comment moderation was not just to defuse the bitching that was happening back in January around NewsX but also to prevent spam comments. If you want to take an advert and promote a website, I'll be happy to oblige, I don't want comments saying, "Very good article, I am sure members of xxxxx website would love to read it. Love XXXXX". I'm to reject them anyway, so well, don't waste your time. If you want to email me and suggest a good website or a link I should visit, great, but comments with links are a no-no unless I think they have something interesting.
Anyway, apparently ABP's golden boys got payouts of Rs 8 crore and Rs 35 crore in that order for the 'amicable' (or not) parting of ways, and these are in respective order with which they parted ways. Not that the Income tax department will ever see a penny of these monies, though in the latter case, the money is being paid in equated quarterly installments with several post-dated cheques and with money from a logistics company will be used to establish a new fortnightly which will eventually have an office in Delhi's Green Park. s for the issues regarding UTV, if any readers have any material which they think it would be in the interest of others to read, mail it to me or write a comment.
Talking about the Beijing Olympics, the CPM, which bloodied its hands in Singur shows how 'democratic' an organisation it is by demanding 'safe passage' for the torch through New Delhi and with 'anonymous sources' calling the Dalai Lama names much as Coke's 'anonymous voices' once called Sunita Narain names. And then there is Aamir Khan who endorses two olympic sponsors - Samsung and Coke and will still run with the torch while 'thinking of the Tibetan cause' - Dude, you're an hipocrite, big deal, everybody is, just accept it. And you're short. And Shah Rukh is way better.
Anyway, I don't China quite realised what the global reaction to the Olympics was going to be and quite how many people in the world are quite uncomfortable with China. Check out some of the campaigns running all over the world on the Beijing Games.
I am not against the Games in Beijing. China has come a long way from Mao and won the rights to the games fair and square in 2001. I'm actually only worried about the fact that India will probably embarrass itself again winning next to nothing - one-sixth of the world's population will not have one medal (maybe one or two) to take back home. India should boycott the games as a way to save face not to make a political statement. Anyway, our Sports Minister now is a former Election Commission bureaucrat, which is something I find rather disturbing. And this guy, who is 70 by the way, is also in charge of youth affairs. WTF!
