And this bloke says that you shouldn't send money to the tsunami-hit areas because there's no accounting for it.
Discovery Channel Listings: You'd think that at least the Discovery folks could do a better job of putting this information online. And there's no word online about their new Travel and Living channel.
Give so others may live again!: Rajeev Srinivasan has been smoking too much ganja as he tries to find a connection between the Shankaracharya's arrest and the tsunami. He's going to get hammered in the message boards. Or is he just trolling? (Thanks JK)
The libertarian Cartel has the same question on our minds, and Ravikiran just asked it on his blog.
IMDb user comments for Ocean's Twelve (2004): I'm afraid that the comments are spot on. It truly is that bad a movie. It feels like five different people wrote the movie, and they didn't talk to each other even once.
Tsunami Death Toll Climbs to 52,000: Damn, this is getting hard to take! And they say it's going to cross 60,000. It's already crossed 68000. Fuck, fuck, fuck!

Man held for insulting national anthem 32 yrs ago: "The then government had issued orders that viewers in cinema halls had to stand up when the national anthem was being played. But the 56-year old Nawabkhan, who was a 24-year-old at the time of the incident, had defied the order, the police said."

Damn, Sandeep got to this story before I could. Those fucking commies, who have so far opposed foreign investment and couldn't care less about the stock market, now want the government to intervene in the Ambani dispute because it's hurting FDI and stocks? I can't believe my ears!
The Unbearable Lightness of Being: Indians and Arranged Marriages. Kirti Gupta's lament on arranged marriages and "Indian identity" sounds astonishingly similar to what I wrote some time back.
Modest Needs: "Modest Needs was founded by Keith Taylor, who created Modest Needs as his way of repaying the many small kindnesses that others had shown to him."
What corporate America can't build: A sentence: If you think that's bad, wait till you see some Indians write on mailing lists. They write in SMS-speak. (Which will get your comment deleted on this blog, incidentally.)
FARK.com: "Philadelphia City Councilman proposes a bill that would fine parents who bring their crying loudass annoying babies to movie theaters"
