Some quotes

"It is in this context that the conversation between Barkha Dutt and Nira Radia assumes significance. Dutt claims that she was talking to Radia as part of her journalistic routine and Radia is only one of her sources. That may be true. But from the conversations it is evident that two of the biggest corporate houses in India were lobbying for a tainted person to be reinstated in the same ministry. Wasn't that news for her? Why didn't she go ahead and break the news? At one point she is heard saying " ‘What Do You Want Me To Tell Them (The Congress)? Tell Me. I'll talk To Them.'  Commentators and twitterers are accusing that Barkha was acting as a go between the corporate houses and the Congress. Barkha Dutt and NDTV, the organization where she is employed need a lot of explaining to do. Incidentally, Barkha Dutt is a Padmashri award winner. "




"In another conversation another reputed journalist Vir Sanghvi is heard saying “What kind of story do you want? Because this will go as Counterpoint, so it will be like most-most read, but it can't seem too slanted, yet it is an ideal opportunity to get all the points across.” This is in relation to a long standing dispute between Mukesh Ambani and his brother Anil Ambani over the gas pricing issue. The media watch websiteCountermedia.in has proved that Vir Sanghvi actually wrote a blog favouring Radia's boss Mukesh Ambani with the information hand fed by her. In other conversations Sanghvi is heard discussing ministry formation with Radia.  The tapes also feature several other top journalists being hand fed by Radia on the kind of stories she wants to appear on major news papers. " 

Hours of work

Ramdev Vani

=========

- The number of hours one should work in a day should be equal to the HB (Hemoglobin count in blood) one has.

- The weight of a person should be equal to the height of that person in inches .

PImples

Yesterday Ramdev suggested a treatment for pimples on the face.

Break the branch (leave) of an aloe-vera plant so that the white liquid comes out. Put that liquid on the forehead and massage for 2-3 mins. All the pimples will go away after some days.

Android cool games

Downloaded some cool games from android market at my LG GT540 phone.  Before that upgraded to Android 2.1 from 1.6.

These free games are quite addictive ...i must confess..and there are lots of cool apps too I downloaded. Like bar scanner which scans the bar code....and of course the piano app too ;-)

US Hypocracy

Watching analysis of Obama visit to India on "Times  Now"

- Happy to see how US think tank was ripped apart by Arnav Goswami on the point of double face of Pakis.
Was nice to see helplessness on american's face.

- Times  Now focussed on hard questions like if US wants India to help her in creating jobs in US then what US is going to offer to India...some of the things can be...pressure on Pakis, transfer of technologies for weapons etc

But NDTV is focusing  on 'emotional connect'. The host on NDTV is Barkha Dutt whose upper portion of the body above her head is completely vacant. Only a naive and stupid will talk about emotions to cunning, clever, selfish, shrewd self-serving, arrogant american politicians.

Diwali

Celebrated Diwali today. Burned crackers for 1.5 hours in the evening and night.
