Across the globe we have had popular uprisings against some regimes in power since the time I came to understand my alphabets. Arab spring is all too emphasized. But Eurozone has also been witnessing instability, which is more in the nature of economic but political repercussions of which can not and should not be ruled out. Fingers crossed here. South Asia has also had its share of political instability. Pakistan has well and truly become a failed state. Zardari, Gilani &amp;amp; Co has no control over what's happening in their a-blast-a-day country. Nepal has got yet another new PM. Indian UPA Government has compromised on Indian democratic traditions to ensure it continues in power. Sri Lanka and Bhutan have been pretty stable. But of course, there is no democracy in the two countries. Sri Lanka is officially a democratic regime while Bhutan has a kingdom. But interestingly, Bhutan is much more democratic than Sri Lanka. The big question to ponder is: Is this a desirable situation? Most of the countries where regimes have been overthrown are now mired in anarchy. International help (read interference) has not helped either. It's upto the citizens of these countries to unite and give themselves a sane leadership sans any help from the international community (the USA etc.)&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;~Ashwini&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6713223798751134309-7041301926805229232?l=imashwini.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://imashwini.blogspot.com/feeds/7041301926805229232/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6713223798751134309&amp;postID=7041301926805229232' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6713223798751134309/posts/default/7041301926805229232'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6713223798751134309/posts/default/7041301926805229232'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://imashwini.blogspot.com/2011/10/political-stability-gone-for-toss.html' title='Political stability gone for a toss'/><author><name>Ashwini Kumar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08768054143861267152</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713223798751134309.post-4756286479795328158</id><published>2011-10-09T09:26:00.002+05:30</published><updated>2011-10-09T09:33:17.298+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Suicide</title><content type='html'>Very often one comes across cases of people committing suicide because life has not treated them well enough. One&lt;a href="http://www.dailypioneer.com/city/11716-depressed-delhi-on-suicide-spree.html"&gt; news item&lt;/a&gt; suggests, there is a spurt in such cases of late, at least in Delhi. This is true in other parts of India also. However&lt;a href="http://www.deccanherald.com/content/196423/couples-suicide-baffles-cops.html"&gt;, in a bizarre case a couple committed suicide in Goa&lt;/a&gt; because they were content from life. It is disturbing for two reasons: 1. Everybody wants to be content with life. But does it lead to repulsion from life? &amp;amp; 2. Is early-30s right time to be content with life?&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I believe that suicide is not a solution; it's plain escapism.

It's so true even today. We see around ourselves and find so many people talking on so many issues &amp;amp; non-issues, creating nuisance, running errands and still find energy to live on. Lokpal becomes a &lt;i&gt;'tamasha&lt;/i&gt;'. Women reservation bill becomes a tamasha. everything, virtually everything is reduced to a tamasha. Fast-unto-death (FUD) tamasha. BTW FUD has become quite a fad these days. And I have noticed every politician tried to convince Ramdev not to sit on FUD except our Agriculture Minister. He perhaps thinks this is the best way to address the problem of food security. A well-scripted tamasha at times, at other times a bad-mouthed tamasha. Digvijay Singh is suffering from a perennial 'oral diarrhea'. With Amar Singh out of action these days he has little competition there. Rahul Gandhi is trying to catch up though. His theory of murders &amp;amp; rapes in Bhatta-Parsaul has not been supported by the empirical evidence. Kapil Sibal has perfected the art of speaking lie while looking in your eyes. He thinks there was no loss to public exchequer in 2G spectrum case. Perhaps he wants us to believe A Raja has opted to take a sabbatical to Tihar leaving the arduous task of running business in Sanchar Bhawan to ever-so-reliable Kapil Sibal. Ramdev's deputy is very naive &amp;amp; scribbles something on a paper. Just to ensure that 1-billion plus Indians know who is Ramdev's &lt;i&gt;mahamantri&lt;/i&gt; he gives it to Mr. Sibal, who dutifully flashes it to media. Delhi Police with a slogan of 'with you for you always' finds that Ramdev &amp;amp; his FUD followers chose to create a stampede in their sleep at 1 AM. Delhi Police justified its slogan by helping them in this as well. Worse, Ramdev gets unwell in Haridwar &amp;amp; finds himself beaten in this noble act by the person in room next to his. He actually fasts until death.  FM Pranab &lt;i&gt;da &lt;/i&gt; finds himself out of news for 2 weeks &amp;amp; gets to look at Mr. Sibal everytime he switches on his TV.  The nine-months old security breach in his office gets revealed. Dr MMS keeps maintaining his dignified silence. BTW The only thing common between Digvijay Singh &amp;amp; dignity is the first 3 letters. Ms. Gandhi is on a fact-finding mission abroad about how people can stash away their black money there. &lt;i&gt;Waise&lt;/i&gt;, Ramdev's emphasis on black money parked abroad is in line with the Swadeshi Movement. Domestic black money should not be abhorred, only that in the Swiss Bank.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6713223798751134309-2058246337802677468?l=imashwini.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://imashwini.blogspot.com/feeds/2058246337802677468/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6713223798751134309&amp;postID=2058246337802677468' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6713223798751134309/posts/default/2058246337802677468'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6713223798751134309/posts/default/2058246337802677468'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://imashwini.blogspot.com/2011/06/blog-post_23.html' title='होता है शब-ओ-रोज़ तमाशा मेरे आगे'/><author><name>Ashwini Kumar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08768054143861267152</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713223798751134309.post-1811385824053494846</id><published>2011-06-03T16:57:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2011-06-03T16:58:18.561+05:30</updated><title type='text'>तुम्हारा नाम</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;

font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px; "&gt;१. महाभारत में कौरवों के चरित्र को 'धर्म का विरोधी' रंग दिया गया है. पांडवों को कौरवों की तुलना में संस्कारी बताया गया है . कौरवों के बिगड़ने का एक संभावित कारण है उनके माता-पिता. पिता &lt;div&gt;जन्मांध थे, माता ने विवाहोपरांत आँख पर पट्टी बाँध ली . परिणाम यह हुआ कि कौरव parental guidance से वंचित रह गए.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;२. कर्ण को हमेशा सूत-पुत्र कह कर उसके साथ विभेदात्मक व्यवहार किया गया . यह द्वापर युग में जाति पर आधारित समाज की पुष्टि करता है . ये भी ज्ञात होता है कि तात्कालिक समाज में २१वीं सदी के भारत की तरह ही meritocracy नहीं थी . गुण पर वंश को तरजीह मिलती थी. दुर्योधन ने इस रुढ़िवादी परंपरा को तोड़ते हुए कर्ण की प्रतिभा को उसका सही मूल्य प्रदान करते हुए उसे अंग नरेश बनाया. ये उस युग के स्तरीकृत समाज (stratified society) में एक क्रन्तिकारी क़दम था . कर्ण का दुर्भाग्य यह कि उस युग में उच्च वर्ण के युवाओं को न पढ़ाने वाले परशुराम ही केवल यह पहचान सके कि कर्ण उच्च वर्ण का युवक है . &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;३. द्रोणाचार्य उच्च कोटि के धनुर्धर और योद्धा और सर्वोत्तम गुरु माने जाते रहे हैं. मेरी दृष्टि में द्रोण बहुत धूर्त और मक्कार व्यक्ति था. एक , उसने चक्रव्यूह का पाठ अपने समस्त विद्यार्थियों को नहीं पढ़ाने की सोची थी. यह ज्ञान सिर्फ अपने नालायक पुत्र को देना चाहता था . अर्जुन तो केवल संयोगवश वहां पहुँच गया और उसे यह विद्या overhearing के कारण मिली . ये भी एक संयोग ही था कि उसका बेटा कमअक्ल था वो नहीं सीख पाया, और अर्जुन चतुर था उसने यह विद्या सीख ली.  दो, द्रोण ने जातिवाद को भरपूर बढ़ावा दिया. कर्ण के प्रति उसका रवैया खेदपूर्ण तो था ही , उसने एकलव्य को भी अपनी दकियानूसी सोच का शिकार बनाया. तीन, द्रोण एक लोभी व्यक्ति था. उसे अपनी दक्षिणा में बहुत दिलचस्पी थी. जो आर्थिक रूप से कमज़ोर थे उनसे भी कोई रियायत नहीं . एकलव्य का उसने अंगूठा कटवा दिया . अतः द्रोण बर्बर भी था. द्रोण वस्तुतः आधुनिक education mafia का द्वापर युग का अवतार था. पांडवों के साथ सहानुभूति होते हुए भी उसने कौरवों के तरफ़ से युद्ध लड़ा . असल में वो हमेशा सत्ता के करीब रहा . don't rub powers-that-be on the wrong side का एक अनूठा मिसाल थे द्रोण. विडम्बना ये कि कलयुग में द्रोण के नाम के पुरस्कार दिए जाते हैं . &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;४. द्वापर युग के भारत में जलस्तर बहुत उंचा था. जब रणभूमि में भीष्म शय्या पर लेटे थे और उन्हें प्यास लगी तो अर्जुन ने अपने तीर से ज़मीन के अन्दर से जल की धरा प्रवाहित कर दी. तात्पर्य यह कि  सिर्फ २-३ फीट की गहराई पर जल उपलब्ध था . आज के दौर में तो भीष्म प्यास के मारे मर जाते और उनका युद्ध live देखना संभव नहीं हो पाता . &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;५. भीष्म ने अम्बालिका और अम्बिका का अपहरण कर उनका विवाह अपने सौतेले भाईयों से कराया . इस से दो बातें ज्ञात होती हैं : एक , भीष्म के दोनों भाई राजघराने के होते हुए भी eligible bachelor नहीं थे . दो , यह समाजशास्त्र में उल्लिखित राक्षस विवाह का सर्वप्रथम उदाहरण था. एक और गौरतलब बात ये कि अम्बा भीष्म पर मोहित हो चुकी थी. किन्तु भीष्म की ज़िद/ प्रतिज्ञा के कारण उसे अविवाहित रहना पड़ा . यानि भीष्म ख़ुद एक eligible  bachelor   थे. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6713223798751134309-6175960234301191297?l=imashwini.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://imashwini.blogspot.com/feeds/6175960234301191297/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6713223798751134309&amp;postID=6175960234301191297' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6713223798751134309/posts/default/6175960234301191297'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6713223798751134309/posts/default/6175960234301191297'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://imashwini.blogspot.com/2011/03/my-take-on-mahabharat.html' title='My take on Mahabharat'/><author><name>Ashwini Kumar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08768054143861267152</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713223798751134309.post-7410496543783704262</id><published>2011-03-28T10:33:00.002+05:30</published><updated>2011-03-28T10:37:02.392+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Dynasty rules</title><content type='html'>Indian society lacks meritocracy.

type='text'>Sledging in Cricket</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; "&gt;MSN India has culled a list of best sledges in cricket over the years. Most of the sledging is sprinkled with cuss words. We have omitted some highly abusive exchanges like the one which happened between Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath and West Indian Ramnaresh Sarwan. Former Australian pacer and selector Merv Hughes was also involved in spats which churned loads of abuse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Hughes was the king of one-liners. Some of the funniest sledges have come from and at the expense of the portly bowler. So, as a tribute of big Merv's skill, we start the compilation with his words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Merv Hughes to Graham Gooch&lt;/strong&gt; after the latter had played and missed a heap of deliveries: I'll get you a piano instead to see if you can play that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Inzamam to Brett Lee:&lt;/strong&gt; Stop bowling off-spinners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rod Marsh to Ian Botham:&lt;/strong&gt; So how's your wife and my kids?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mark Waugh to Ormond&lt;/strong&gt;: Mate what the hell are you doing out here, surely you're not good enough to play for England!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;James Ormond&lt;/strong&gt;: At least I'm the best cricketer in my family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ian Healy&lt;/strong&gt; trying to coax &lt;strong&gt;Ranatunga&lt;/strong&gt; to leave his crease: Put a mars bar(chocolate bar) on a good length, that should do it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 13px; font-size: 11px; "&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 1.25em; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Greg Thomas&lt;/strong&gt;: It weighs about 5 ounces, it's red, shiny, round and you're supposed to hit it!&lt;strong&gt;Vivian Richards&lt;/strong&gt; hits it for six and retorts: You know what it looks like, you go find it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Daryll Cullinan to Shane Warne&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Cullinan was on his way to the centre, Warne told him he had been waiting 2 years for another chance to humiliate him. "Looks like you spent it eating," Cullinan retorted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Robin Smith to Merv Hughes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During 1989 Lords Test Hughes said to Smith after he played and missed: "You can't bat". Smith to Hughes after he smacked him to the boundary: "Hey Merv, we make a fine pair. I can't bat and you can't bowl."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 1.25em; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Merv Hughes to Javed Miandad&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During 1991 Adelaide Test, Javed called Merv a fat bus conductor. A few balls latter Merv dismissed Javed: "Tickets please", Merv called out as he ran past the departing batsman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indian opener &lt;strong&gt;Sunil Gavaskar&lt;/strong&gt; decided not to open the batting, and instead come at number four in the batting order in a Test match against West Indies. Unfortunately, India lost two quick wickets for nothing on the board and Gavaskar walked in. &lt;strong&gt;Vivian Richards&lt;/strong&gt; on seeing Gavaskar, welcomed him by saying, "maan, it don't matter where you come in to bat, the score is still zero."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Tahoma;

India is a country full of stones, with its history steeped into stone age!! But these Kashmiris (only the muslims actually because all the Kashmiri Pandits have been forced out of the valley) have turned the clock back and Kashmir is witnessing yet another stone age. Worse, they have hired migrant labor to soil their hands in stone-pelting. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It's a shame our Hon'ble (?) PM is talking of autonomy to Kashmir. And then on 15th August he claimed "Kashmir Bharat ka abhinn ang hai." I don't remember how many times I have heard this crap from how many Hon'ble PMs ever since I came to understand 'abhinn ang'. Now whenever MMS &amp;amp; his colleagues in the Cabinet speak of 'abhinn ang' I am reminded of this couplet by Javed Akhtar&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px; "&gt;अक्सर वो कहते हैं वो बस मेरे हैं &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px; "&gt;&lt;div&gt;अक्सर क्यूँ कहते हैं, हैरत होती है &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;~Ashwini&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;P.S.: btw MMS himself needs some autonomy.

I have grown up listening to the fact that Sir Don Bradman is the cricketer without peer. His statistics are awesome. However, I have always believed he's overrated. 1) He played in an era when only two teams were familiar with the concept of competitive cricket- England &amp;amp; Australia. No wonder Bradman always had field day against all other teams, India included. 2) All the good bowlers of his era were from his own team e.g. Bill O'Reilly &amp;amp; CG Grimmett. The only exception is Harold Larwood of England. 3) He got enough rest due to WW-II. Perhaps his consistency is because of no cricket during war years.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In this post I would like to share an interesting info on Bradman. He was a member of the team which suffered the worst loss in terms of runs. This was his debut test match. Have a look at the &lt;a href="(Ashwini Kumar) Deputy Director 29.7.10 EA(MCS)"&gt;scorecard&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;~ Ashwini&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6713223798751134309-1847978018008605188?l=imashwini.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://imashwini.blogspot.com/feeds/1847978018008605188/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6713223798751134309&amp;postID=1847978018008605188' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6713223798751134309/posts/default/1847978018008605188'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6713223798751134309/posts/default/1847978018008605188'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://imashwini.blogspot.com/2010/08/bradmanesque-loss.html' title='Bradmanesque loss'/><author><name>Ashwini Kumar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08768054143861267152</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713223798751134309.post-7106250722109661365</id><published>2010-08-02T15:09:00.003+05:30</published><updated>2010-08-02T15:27:32.391+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Meer Taqi Meer</title><content type='html'>Read diwan-e-Meer over the weekend.

Usually the anticipation is regarding who will be the fastest on track or will Indian shooters bring heaps of gold medals.

Twelve games are not so many and there were many rest days. Knockout format is much tougher in this sense. Mentally of course, the tension was very high, but it is also true that top chess players are used to pressure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;According to some reports, it seems Anand was helped by Kasparov, Kramnik and Carlsen for the match. Your comments. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not think Anand should be very proud of this. Especially by the fact he accepted help from the first two. I have been among the chess elite for 15 years and perfectly remember how Kasparov treated Anand for years. And not long before the World Championship match in Bonn 2008, Anand had to stand the arrogant statements of his opponent in the press. I would never accept help from people who humiliated me for years even for free. But it seems Anand is different.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;Do you think you have got enough recognition for your stance of not accepting draws and making the game uncompromising and more entertaining? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I think so. Since the Sofia rules (no quick and agreed draws) were invented by my manager Silvio Danailov back in 2005, the results are very positive. Sponsors liked them and new tournaments appeared. Media interest for chess has grown up and prizes increased. For winning the world title in 2005 I received $300,000 and five years later Anand got $1.5 million. This speaks for itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;Do you think Anand is the most complete player? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, that is something no one can deny. Also, he has been a Rapid World Champion, very strong in blitz play and one of the best blindfold players in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;What are your thoughts on Anand? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think being a world champion is a great responsibility. He has to collaborate with FIDE and attract new sponsors to chess. But Anand does not have a professional team behind him and has failed to find sponsors. India could be a paradise for chess, but the fact that he has not played a single tournament in India since 2002 can only mean two things: either Anand does not like to play in India, or his team is not capable to stage a top level event.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;

democracy</title><content type='html'>Read an interesting article by Joshua I. Miller in Polity, Vol 37(1), 2005. The abstract reads as below:&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Clothing has political significance because it affects the relationships among &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;citizens. Clothing is not simply a private or personal matter; it implies the existence &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;of an intersubjective social world in which one presents oneself and is seen by &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;others. In examining the implications of fashion for political relationships, I will &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;concede that fashion aggravates antagonistic relationships among citizens when it &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;is used to flaunt one’s status and wealth, but I will also argue that clothes can also &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;be used to exhibit respect toward others and allegiance to a group. Clothes, &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;therefore, sometimes facilitate the democratic ideal of widely distributed power. &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;Fashion can provoke dialogue about social and political matters, and that dialogue&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;is democratic. When fashion manifests creativity, respect, allegiance, or membership, &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;the relationships that it fosters are potentially democratic.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;and read some excerpts:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;To see the democratic dimension of fashion, one must begin by realizing that dress is embedded in the social world. While dress involves individual expression, that expression does not occur in isolation. One’s own dress is influenced by the appearance of others (even if those others are not geographically proximate); one dresses to be seen by others (this is true even of those who say that they are dressing only for themselves); if one is making an ideological statement through one’s dress, an audience must receive that statement. To negotiate these different messages and &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;reactions, and to create meaningful dialogue and common action, democratic dress often may be lively, loud, sexy, provocative, and even offensive. Democratic dress needs to strike a balance among creativity, political expression, solidarity, moderation in displays of wealth, and respect for the appearance and the sensitivities of others.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;This probably explains why Lalu Yadav loves to be photographed in undershirt &amp;amp; why our very suave Harvard educated P Chidambaram is seen in mundu.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;~Ashwini&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6713223798751134309-4041689768938107883?l=imashwini.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://imashwini.blogspot.com/feeds/4041689768938107883/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6713223798751134309&amp;postID=4041689768938107883' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6713223798751134309/posts/default/4041689768938107883'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6713223798751134309/posts/default/4041689768938107883'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://imashwini.blogspot.com/2010/05/fashion-democracy.html' title='Fashion &amp; democracy'/><author><name>Ashwini Kumar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08768054143861267152</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713223798751134309.post-7905448575050178226</id><published>2010-04-20T16:13:00.003+05:30</published><updated>2010-04-20T16:38:04.004+05:30</updated><title type='text'>A tale of two assassinations</title><content type='html'>Recently, two reports have come into news- 1) the SC verdict awarding life sentence to Manu Sharma in Jessica Lall murder &amp;amp; 2) the &lt;a href="http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=34384&amp;amp;Cr=bhutto&amp;amp;Cr1"&gt;UN Report regarding &lt;/a&gt;inquiry into Benazir Bhutto's political assassination of Dec, 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some observations:&lt;br /&gt;1) It takes so long to bring to justice a murderer like Manu Sharma in India. This despite it being a high-profile case which continued to grab headlines for so many years. It's a shame on Indian Police &amp;amp; Judicial system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Pakistan could not conduct a discreet inquiry into assassination of Ms. Bhutto even with Mr. Zardari at the helm of affairs. Somehow, I have this feeling that Mr. Zardari was not pained enough by the killing of his wife. His fling with Ms. Sarah Palin is a proof.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Even if UN Commissioners report is believed to be true, one wonders whether the present regime will be able to convict the culprits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such a sad commentary on governance in the two midnight's children.

No, no! Punjabi parantha and Hyderabadi biryani can never mix’. It’s an irony of fate that Sania, daughter of the same Imran Mirza, is getting married to Shoaib Malik. It seems a relationship of co-existence between Punjabi parantha and Hyderabadi biryani has been established and now Shoaib and Sania would savour both eatables simultaneously.” In a somewhat similar vein, Bangalore-based daily, Salaar, in its editorial on March 31, writes: “When both will be playing for their respective countries, then obviously they would have acute shortage of time. There would be pressure on the marital life.” It adds: “The PCB has inflicted a ban for a year on Shoaib Malik and he would have ample time during the year. But Sania Mirza will be busy preparing for the forthcoming Commonwealth and Asian Games.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

The abstract provides a summary of the findings:&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  line-height: 18px; font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;An increase in our measure of beauty by one standard deviation is associated with an increase of 20% in the number of votes for the average non-incumbent parliamentary candidate. The relationship is unaffected by including education and occupation as control variables and withstands several other robustness checks.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  line-height: 18px; font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Now we understand why so many film stars are fielded by the political parties. We have many cine beauties as our Hon'ble MPs these days, e.g., Hema Malini, Jaya Prada etc. And who can forget Sarah Palin, who floored Zardari Sahab with her "gorgeous" looks. If only the Republicans could have staved off the Democrats' march.

Yes India beating Pakistan was a good news. But I believe this was a contest between two of the slowest movers on the turf. Anyways... a win is a win and we must savour it.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have always been overawed by the skill and artistry involved in hockey. No doubt the FIH World Cup being held at Major Dhyanchand National Stadium is a great thing for all the Indians. An interesting trivia here is that cricket and hockey both had their biggest names playing at the same time.  Yes Sir Donald and Major Dhyanchand dominated their chosen sports during the inter-war years. Alas! We have so many paeans for Bradman, hardly any mention is made of Dhyanchand. BTW Hitler was mighty impressed by Major Dhyanchand's skills, which he witnessed during the Berlin Olympics in 1936.
