A refreshingly different story in stirf torn middle east. Come what may
we will rock say’s these “Heavy metal Rockers”.
No regrets to say I am NO fan of rockers. Never shy’d from blaming them for

Call it a long standing dream come true. Wary of internal war people whose bare minimum expectation today is, at the least a non-working democracy than a mindless dictatorship, look forward to the polls. Any sane minded person of Pakistan would agree they deserve that, for that matter any human being. UN charter [...]

Pakistan is back to its age old problem. Declaration of emergency. Well no one would get the proze for guessing the current fiasco(nothing short of is ofcourse).

Karan Thapar has never been so modest , downplaying as he was during his interaction with his holiness “The Dalai Lama”.

Pranab’s visit to Myanmar last weekend cannot be termed a “routine” diplomatic journey. With the clout of India’s Arms assistance to its military ruled Myanmar syntheszes new kind of equation.

Unpredicability about death is unpredictability. Could not have come to Anton Balasingham at this misappropriate juncture. Though LTTE chief was know for his own ways, balasingham was his trusted Liutenent. This Doctral in social sciences have been their Chief Negotiator from the word begin.

Chinese new Year 2006 should be made “Year of Tiger”(Actually 1998 was.. 2006 is year of Dog”) ! Sino-India started this year as “Year of Friendship”. Though many analysts saw it coming they did not expect exponential growth this year. Hu Jintao dominates headlines a few weeks – before & after. Year said for a [...]
