Why's this happening time and again?

I mean why’re we letting these guys do it to us every time? I’m speaking on the increased frequency of border violations and provocative firing by the Pakistanis across our western borders. Every time a high ranking US official comes visiting our country, the Pakis go on a rampage and what do we do? Keep sulking and crying and subtly tell the Americans that the Pakis are indeed bad. And what do the ‘practical’ yanks resort to – play up to both the sides and look after their strategic interests!

What we need to understand is that we’ve to do our job. If the Pakis need their noses to be bloodied, so be it – they can’t keep messing with us and historically, have proved that their hatred is India centric and just can’t stand this country achieving positive milestones in every field. They need to be whipped time and again – through vigorous diplomatic moves -just like what a good teacher would do to an errant student!!


A sensible and smart foreign policy initiative!

Our Prime Minister’s recent visits to Japan and Malaysia is a smart and well thought out foreign policy initiative. The proof of the effectiveness has been China’s immediate reaction, where one of their lowly ranked foreign affairs' guy has nastily declared that their practice of stapled visas, for people from Jammu and Kashmir visiting their country, is going to continue.

The Chinese are also irked that we’ve called a temporary halt in military exchanges between the two countries, because of their refusal to clear the visit of the Indian Army’s Northern Army Commander, as part of the ongoing confidence building measures.

I’m glad that we’re calling the big bully’s bluff, finally at long last!!!


A tear for Paul, the octopus!

It's sad to hear about the death of Paul. He'd hit the headlines by his accurate predictions on the outcomes of the matches during the last Football World Cup matches. From the few close ups of his eyes from the TV grabs that I'd seen, I got this impression that he seemed to be an evolved being.

I bow in front of his memory. He, indeed, was extraordinary. But what's this that the Chinese are saying that he'd died way back in July itself? I mean what does this insinuation point to, I wonder?
