What Indian sports need is a Modi, not Aiyar or Kalmadi

Wednesday, 28 July 2010 13:00 by Bala Murali Krishna
Mani Shankar Aiyar is, by all accounts, a learned man with a heart in the right place. And Suresh Kalmadi, by all accounts, is a clever sports administrator with an uncanny instinct for fame and money. As the two slug it out over the Commonwealth Games, what is clear is that Indian sports needs neit... [More]

A country of old lecherous men!

Friday, 23 July 2010 12:41 by Bala Murali Krishna
If we don’t see a pattern, and don’t see a systemic problem, and don’t find a fix, God help our girls. About a month ago, the head of a residential school in Kodaikanal was arrested on charges of sexually harassing a girl student. Apparently, he housed several girl students in h... [More]

The new poster girl for anti WRB campaigners?

Wednesday, 21 July 2010 23:07 by Sindhu Madhusudan
 The person in question is a lady Congress MLC from Bihar. In spite of my best efforts, I couldn’t find any picture of her (in action) on the site that I could post here for added reference. Will do, when I get my hands on them. The term ‘WRB’ stands for Women’s Re... [More]

Time to say ‘Safety First’

Tuesday, 20 July 2010 12:20 by Bala Murali Krishna
Twenty-four hours after the deadly train accident in West Bengal, human error appears to be the most plausible reason for the tragedy. M C Dey, the driver of Uttar Banga Express, may have simply erred in speeding past a red light and then failing to see the parked Vananchal Express early Monday morn... [More]

Petrol price decontrol? Or petrol price fixing?

Thursday, 15 July 2010 16:55 by Bala Murali Krishna
Executives of three top companies that, together, hold monopoly control over the market meet with a government official and then emerge to announce they will set a common price. Is that price fixing or what? I am referring to the meeting this morning of executives from India’s leading pub... [More]

The fall and fall of Karnataka

Wednesday, 14 July 2010 17:07 by Bala Murali Krishna
If you have been following the political drama unfolding in Karnataka, you might recognize the state regime for what it is – government of the corrupt, by the corrupt and for the corrupt. It would be hard to make a case that the government is for the people of the state. Chief Minister B S ... [More]

The latest victim of stress

Monday, 28 June 2010 16:14 by Sindhu Madhusudan
A former classmate of mine was getting ready to leave for work. He stepped out of his house at around 8 in the morning, walked towards his motorbike, kick-started it and dropped dead. His wife came running out of the house when she heard the bike crash on the cement floor. Post mortem dec... [More]

Oil price reform delivered with finesse

Friday, 25 June 2010 17:18 by Bala Murali Krishna
UPA-2 finally deregulated the price of petrol but not the price of diesel and maintained most of the subsidy on LPG, or liquefied petroleum gas. That is not to say it did not raise the price of diesel. It did by Rs. 2 but could make the political pitch that it is not allowing free pricing of diesel,... [More]

One in 50 Indians might be a crorepati!

Thursday, 24 June 2010 14:31 by Bala Murali Krishna
Just how many crorepatis does India have? With our vast reservoir of black money, and absurd income tax or wealth tax filings, or, for that matter, mandatory declarations by lawmakers, nobody quite knows. But imprecise calculations point at some answers. My basis for this is the World Wealth ... [More]

Ze FIFA Lunacy

Monday, 21 June 2010 16:25 by Sindhu Madhusudan
Sometimes, it is very comforting to be able to take things for granted. The contrary is true too. Take England for example. Or France or even Italy, for that matter. England: The ball hopped, skipped, jumped and walked into the goal post and everybody else watched, baffled. Since then, the e... [More]
