Shashi Tharoor nominated for UN Secy Gen. Big whooppee. Who cares? All the Sec-Gen needs to do is look good in suits and not be scared of air travel. They may well have nominated Shashi Kapoor, and it wouldn't make an iota of a difference. UN's suit budget would have gone up though.

Again, a fatwah has been issued against singing Vande Mataram. Again, a debate has erupted in the blogosphere. Surprisingly, I am not in the debate! What is my take on the issue? I say change the song to Test Match Mataram.

I caught a bit of the USA-Italy match. Woof! Ample roughness. See, this is what happens when you play in your country, a game where tackling people is the thing to do.... and for some reason you call it football. I bet those Americans were shocked that they were carded for such minor offences even though OJ Simpson got away with murder.
