Kiss Kiss

Now, while I agree with what Chinmayi has to say about the term ‘chick-lit’, this was just too good to resist linking to…

What’s on the news…

… and what’s not!
Yesterday, the Supreme Court refused to grant a stay on the construction at the Narmada Dam. When Anup told me, it was raining; when I came in from the rain, I looked for a report on the news. Nothing. Except two bland statements on the bottom scroll, nothing. So many news channels, [...]
