Is there a way these points can be redeemed to Charity in India. I had made a similar proprosal before I hope you will consider my request. I would like donate my points to Rotary Club in Bangalore for their Cancer charity work.

From Dravid to Kumble – the shortest journey from the wall to the well???
Are you digging deeper into the hole and eating mud, regretting each and every bit of comment you made on Kumble? You fell short big time underestimating the talent of a power house called Kumble. Kumble never whimpered before but went through his job enjoying every minute of it. When the opportunity of captaincy presented itself to him, he didn't shreik from that responsibility too. True BCCI wanted a stop gap arrangement or maybe theyr thought it would be too much for Dhoni to handle two tough series of Pakistan and Australia or whatever may be the reason, I am shcoked that people like you have underestimated the jumbo so much who never runs away from challenges. I hope this is good lesson for people who jump to conclusions. Go Kumble do your thing..barking dogs bark..

Meat is murder
Good writing. I agree with you. Animals should be treated with Respect and dignity. As the saying goes "You are what you eat!".
I would like reply to Mr. Raman, who brings episode of Ghua offering fish to Sri Raam. Below are the slokas from Vaalmiki Ramayan and no such mention of fish is made.

Closely embracing Rama, Guha who felt disturbed, spoke to him, “This city too is as much as Ayodhya to you. What can I do for you? Oh mighty armed! Who indeed will get such a lovely guest?”

Fourth of July @ Sulekha
Happy 4th of July to everyone. Some of the best forth of July celebrations I have witnessed are
1. At St. Louis. It was breathtaking to watch the fireworks from under the Arch. I highly recommend this, there are lots of activities for the kids and people are just plain nice. The one I saw had these incredible Blue Angles fly under and over the Arch, what a sight.
2. Fireworks at New York. We parked the car at Liberty park and witnessed the Firework acroos the water in Manhattan. I think its Macy. This was just incredible fireworks and lasted for about 40 minutes. Great picnic time and good people sharing stories.. Worth the trp just for the fireworks.
3. Golden Gate Bridge SanFransico: Its a real festive atmosphere at the bay allaround. The crowd can be little tiresome, but worth the trip. The spectacle of fireworks with the BRIDGE as the background is only to be experienced. The best point to view this is to go up the hill at the North side of the bridge and get a place early. Its strange to see moon and after sunset orange in the sky and the fireworks together make this a great spectacle.
4. 4th of July Washington DC: This is the mother of all 4th July celebrations for obvious reasons. On the fourth as you arrive at the mall, you may already find some of the best spots taken. People camp the previous day at some of those precious spots. The crowd is really huge, something you may never have seen in the US.Metro is the only way to get into the city during this time, so plan ahead. My favorite spot is on the steps of the Capitol. This way you get to see the fireworks and watch the most famous concert by the National Symphony Orchestra. The fire works lasts for about 30 minutes. Carry blanket and jackets as it will get colder. Plan your exit early, as a huge crowd advances towards the metro station, the moment the firework ends.
The best part of 4th of July in America is to appreciate how proud the people here are to be Americans, they participate sincerely with their families, barbecue together, enjoy their roasted corn and watermelons. Just have fun and have a great time at America's party.

(T)Endulkar redux
People do have expectations from their Super stars. Thats why Tendular gets so much attention. Crtics jump on every troke he plays and the way he gets out. On the other hand Tendulkar has rendered yeoman's service to Indian cricket. His innings against Pakistan in 2003 World cup, where single handedly demolished Pakistani fast bowlers including Akhtar, kram and Waqar is a testment to his abilities.
However, as time changes, things change. On a personel level Tendulakr needs to adopt, he needs to work on fitness and try to accumalate runs from 1s and 2s. At the team level, the captain and management needs to reassure Tendulkar, that he is secure and should play is own game. He doesn't need to score 50+ just to retain his place in the team. Where is Wadekar when you need him...

<b>Then why can't Muslims be both Indian and Pakistani ..</b> When you start making statements like this RSS will seem more relevent. How can a Muslim be both Indian and Pakistani?? Muslims in India have clearly opted for the Indian way of life, to live free, to practice religion freely and have a democratic government. Thats the difference between a Pakistani and Indian and that is the difference between a Pakistani Muslim and an Indian Muslim.
It is China, stupid!
Good write. In this global world, every other country is our competetior in their own way. So the best solution is to become a stronger country economically. Today its China, tomorrow it may be Korea etc.,So we have to stress on education that will make our people innovate and get us to be the leaders.
As for the RSS..

Mysore Rasam
No worries. Its important to get the terminologies right, so that we can appreciate the food diversity we have in India. Rasam is from Tamil Nadu and has a wonderful watery texture and taste. Saaru is from Mysore, a little bit thicker (with daal content) and has an entirely different taste, amazing in its own way. For someone being introduced to Soth India they may look and feel the same, but the diffrences will dawn on more familiarity with both. I am sure you can make out more differences when you taste them together, as you seem to be a great cook..Wonderful recipe of the Rasam btw.
