I agree with all that. However with India joining SCO, TAPI deal looks unlikely. Which is why that land-sea route through Iran is being looked into. Turkmenistan can join in. TAPI can only be looked into if the US government stands as a guarantor (very unstable region) and if it is cost...

My understanding is that TAPI was originally an alternative to IPI pipeline. The undersea pipeline makes more strategic sense for India. But India's future energy needs may require multiple channels. Relying too much on one source is also risky, and Middle-east is also a very volatile region. If...

Thank you. I wonder if there are any food trails in Pakistan from the mountainous areas in the north with lamb meat, agricultural plains with beef and poultry, to seafood in the south. Tourists can then sample the delicacies on the food trail. Once, CPEC and the necessary infrastructure is...

@ghazi52 I request you to kindly also open a thread on Highway dhabas in Pakistan (if you have enough info and time)

Mustafizur Rahman is an amazing find. Hopefully he can perform well outside the subcontinent too.

Buy second hand mirages from Greece, once they are upgraded to 2000-5. Greeks may allow this given their economic situation, and they already have F-16s. Could also try UAE. These will do until 2025. We can then have a hi-lo mix of FGFA/LCA MK II. Rafale for strategic missions only.

There are remedies to cast off evil eye:

Luthor sucks. I have always hated all film versions of Luthor. None of them is especially smart. Luthor was much,much smarter than Superman, who was just a farmboy.

Its not who we are, but what we do that defines us 8-)

No, the 1989 version was the best. Although Ledger was the best villain of all time.

Nolan's trilogy squeezed out all the fun out of the comics. Dark, brooding characters stewing in their misery. Hope this Batman is more fun. Man of Steel was of course bloody awful.

What do you mean by culling elderly..?:what:

I used Cola only for mixing, and now not even that. Plain soda is better with whisky. I find cola sickeningly sweet and intolerable, except with rum. Rum cannot be mixed with anything else.

Sad story and poor kid. She did not deserve this.

I tried "Indian Challenge" recently in Chennai, cos RC was not available- nor was any other decent brand. Tasted horrible. I think these other useless brands (colas) also have nexus with local politicians to limit coverage of big brands. This is particularly true in Tamil Nadu, where corruption...

South Bombay was simply great when I stayed there. It has a class and a sense of history that rest of the city lacks and the architecture is so grand. Only problem was too many pigeons, and the roads and footpaths were littered with their waste. I was fascinated with Watson's hotel. Mark Twain...

Bangladesh is our best ally. :tup::tup: 70% favorable. All thanks to Hasina didi's superb leadership.:tup::tup:

Aww.. Too bad. They should be able to cope with 62% less gravity on Mars. :tup::tup: My favourite plumpie is Hansika Motwani.:enjoy:

Sorry, I have my own fantasies involving Ms. Kaif and Ms. Padukone.
