Thank you for mouthing the Party line, but it does not wash in the free world my friend. I repeat, nothing that comes out of China does so without being doctored and sanitised by the state first. Be it human rights. Or health. Or natural disasters. Or industrial accidents. You name it, your...

Stumper bro the early phase of my career was in the BPO sector operations so I know a little bit of the India-specific challenges during the early years as well as when the industry matured and consolidation and second-phase churn happened. I think this is a good idea but my reservations on the...

Of course we will do what we as a nation will benefit from, as will any corporate entity. This is business my friend, not charity. To me this makes perfect sense, cause the demographics and financials of call center operations are such that to be competitive Indian companies are having to move...

Sorry I do not buy your 'remote areas' sideline my friend. Its a lot more widespread than that and I suspect you know it. What is the use of drinking from the same well, when there is no water to drink, when the soil you till is not yours, and never will be, when the life you live is at the...

The big difference my friend is that we recognise it as an archaic system that has no relevance in today's society. Both at the level of the society as well as the government. We have laws to prevent it. We have reservations and incentives and schemes for their upliftment. We are trying. And...

That is the communist way of looking at things. The free democratic thought process would be different. We are close to you my friend, and will get closer in the days to come. The BIG difference will be that we would have enjoyed the trip getting there. Think about it. You have not supported...

Blacks on its own is not racially offensive. Black as a modifier to African on the other hand most definitely is, especially looking at the example you quote and the preceding segregational cues it denotes. Ask any South African, black or white, if what you said was offensive or not. Even if we...

I was merely pointing out the drawbacks of your regime enforced one-child policy sir, and you well know that. We in India in the 70s briefly had a gentleman who tried to forcefully impose something like that too. Didn't go down very well here. Of course we are a free democracy, which means the...

Please stop using racially offensive language my friend. You say Americans. You could as easily have said Africans instead of blacks in Africa. You would then be the first to take umbrage were anyone here to start commenting on the intercanthal folds specific to your race. Please understand.

By that train of thought sir, you guys were rodents too not too long ago. Before you evolved into obese little emperors. Lording it over a population ageing faster than that of Europe. With not much in the hope of rejuvenation of the gene pool, seeing as there suddenly aren't too many little...

We will just have to shift renewed operational focus onto the conduits via Kenzamane (Zemithang), Bumla, Gelling (Kepangla Pass), and Kibithoo (Anjaw District) to make up the shortfall my friend.

While your lesson in history is well taken sir, there is an unmistakable condescending tone in the background of a senior 'old' nation speaking to a 'young' one. I do not know which texts of history you read as a school going kid, but the Indian civilization is as old if not older than the...

Its really a sad testament to the state of affairs and the irreparability of relations when the so-called educated take such overt pleasure in news of killings of innocents to the extent of keeping score. Its almost as if we are playing video games here knocking off nameless and faceless...

Khalid I see your point and did even before making my post. We have had a similar discussion before also. But this sort of talk really gets to me my friend, so apologies for reacting. As an Indian who was born a hindu, it really hurts and embarrasses me to see the look on the faces of my muslim...

Two guys are fighting. On the dot at 2 p.m., mid punch, they shut shop for their afternoon siesta, resuming hostilities at 4 p.m. Welcome to Pune.

Sounds like European grapes are really sour. Must be the reason they churn out the best wine.

Very impressive resume my friend. No wonder it must really hurt that you are not granted entry into the EU in spite of all of the above hugely critical contributions to the European economy. Can we please get back to the topic now?

So? Does the 'disputed' status or not really matter to the Balochi freedom fighters who do not want to be part of Pakistan? They want their own land and have wanted so since the time of Partition. Pakistan annexed Balochistan as part of their territory by force did it not? Is it not true that...

Agnostic Muslim, I see from your reply to me and other similar posts by you, that you are actively following the line that all was hunky liberal dory while he was a Pakistani in Pakistan, but he got 'radicalised' as an American in America. Did I get that part right? You further assert that other...
