You surely are jumping the gun. It is not a matter of such concern that I would lose sleep over. Mr. Jha said, if Air Force decides to do something, why should anyone have a problem with that. And I said I can question it, being an Indian National. I am sure many folks here rant about...

We may disagree. :) As I said there will be guys who may be happy and there may be guys who won't be. Second point does not matter really. Infact, why not honorary prmotions!!! Last, I am sure, Sachin would have gladly advertised for Indian Military if asked even if he were not offered...

You have surely "tweaked" my words. Every Indian National can "question" the Indian government. Not just at election times. Thats a fundamental right the Indian constitution has given each of it's citizen. You can check it out with your lawyer. Regards, Anoop.

:) Are you saying something to the effect, "When Air force wants to do something, it should never bother anyone?" I as a tax payer pay for the salaries of the Indian Military. That should give me right enough to question a policy as an Indian National. Regards, Anoop

And the group captains who are already there? A military personnel takes most offence when he / she is equated with a civilian and perhaps justifiably so. Infact they hate to be even addressed by their title by a civilian. I speak this from personal experience. Though I agree it can be...

:) Please do not dismiss him with such condescending attitude. It has a pro and a con.. Pro is what you said... Fortunately Indian military has no problem hiring the jawans. There is a problem at the officer's level, but not very alarming. Even then one does not need to confer a title on a...

I think what the Americans did was right, assuming the words uttered were to the effect "I hope this is my last flight". If Pakistan or any other country does not do the same to US officials it is their stupidity, for the lack of better word". Let me give an example here. After 9/11 when...

I know I am in a minority but I am absolutely against this. Military ranks should not be conferred upon a civilian in this manner. They are earned and they get a respect that no civilian can get. Regards, Anoop.

This needs correction.. I meant... once a country decides to go to war, with time on hand for preparation. Regards, Anoop.

Hi, I never denied your understanding of this issue. Here are my points. 1.) That deterrent does not change it's propeller in mid-mission. But since it is out there, the other countries including friendly ones would continue to hunt / record it's acoustic signature. How can one prevent it...

Everyone does that. Nothing out of the ordinary. And yes in war time the signatures would be different because of a different propeller. As to the time for it, a country, specially in this age, prepares well in advance before going to war. In case of an emergency, one needs to make do with...

Well.. how different would it be from aerodynamics point of view? A fighter jet's airframe versus a Boeing / Airbus passenger plane. Sorry I was not specific. I do understand the acoustics and the role of a propeller and it's acoustic signature. What I meant was that I am not sure how the...

Fluid dynamics part is what the information on the net said. I am not sure about the acoustics part. I mean, I do not know well enough to comment anything. But on fluid dynamics, I would assume a tear shaped one would provide better performance than the cigar shaped one. Regards, Anoop.

Hi, My question is perhaps very basic. I tried to figure it out by google but did not have much success. Why are the submarines shaped the way they are? The tear shaped hull giving way to the cigar shaped one? Thanks, Anoop.

You may be right about the workmanship bit but lately I am hearing a lot of "money and quality." I do not deny that money buys quality but the guys who put that argument do not understand is that the material cost and other costs in other countries like India and Russia are much less than the...

You don't need to. Bowlers like Wasim Akram are not born everyday, otherwise he wouldn't be as special as he is. There is always a cycle and as I said, Wasim Akram is God of bowling. Doubt there will ever be one like him. Regards, Anoop.

Frankly I wouldn't care if the aid goes through UN. I am anguished and hurt at the delay while so many people struggle to merely stay alive. 5 Million USD or whatever be the amount used today is not equal to 5 million USD used a few days later. Regards, Anoop

I have a question and I apologise if this is not the right thread. Why is Pakistan not accepting India's help offer? I mean I remember a few years back India had warned Pakistan of a looming disaster that Indian Remote Sensing Agency or some government agency had predicted. Forgot the...

I can easily post some football videos for you, where you will feel the magic. The question is "do we understand phyics and aerodynamics" so well that we can take for granted that the ball can not swing so wild? Because if you say "we do understand the depth of physics to the level of PhDs,"...

I have seen enough replays to justify what I said. Some of the followers of cricket from Pakistan will agree to what I said there. And yes, many commentators have said that. Let me reiterate, that does not take away anything from Wasim Akram. To me he is the greatest bowler ever. I have...
