TOW I link a lot

I spent Sunday morning reading articles on the web. There was the usual Lehman drama. Then Ike. And now, there's the news on New Delhi bomb blasts.
Chronology of major bombings in India
How many more blasts will it take for the government to take a more stringent attitude against terrorism? This is not going to help:
Shivraj Patil mouths old statements, old excuses
Sometimes I really really wonder how shameless these people can be. I mean, I can't see any change of tone in his voice. He is saying the same thing he said last time. That the situation is turning more grave with each serial blasts incident does not seem to be having an effect on senile ministers incapable of strong and firm action. 
Anti-terror law: NSA backs Gujarat demand
This is just one of the instances where he has simply refused to accept advice coming from several quarters - state governments and police officers included. We can speculate and discuss his reasons but the outcome of his actions is being seen in the way serial blasts recur as the headlines of daily news.

Shame on you Mr Patil. 

Shame also on people who are creating a issue of a convicted terrorist's execution. 

Ms Mehbooba, and all your supporters, a terrorist is a terrorist is a terrorist. He must be executed. While Arundhati Roy raises several pertinent questions about human rights violations, nothing in her article is a justification for the execution once the guilt has been established. There IS a hurry to punish terrorists, Ms Roy, and that is needed to send a strong signal. 

Now I am not saying that the police do not inflict human rights violations. Sure they do. That needs to be enquired and brought to light. But when several courts convict a person of a terror act, it is but natural justice that he be punished. 

Google is starting to act like a monopolist
I guess Google doesn't think monopolism is an evil. 

Scary, Isn’t She?
Mighty talented and very tall, yes. But scary as well. Lucky for her that she is born in USA where she is at least getting the opportunity to shape her career. In India, the idea of a girl competing in a male dominated sports, or for that matter, considering sports a full career itself would be frowned upon. Such a world we live in.
