Kudos, Mr.Khan

If there is one movie for which I wouldn't mind standing in line to buy the DVD for, its Taare Zameen Par (TZP). What a movie! Only the most insensitive soul, completely devoid of emotion, will fail to be moved by this movie. It now goes on top of my favourites list. No wonder Aamir Khan is the toast of Bollywood at the moment.

Watershed

This was a long time coming. I don't think anybody in that party had the nerve to state it out this loud and clear, but it does take the mask off the false facade, a farce that the party already is. They are one party that neither wants the responsibility (they never join the government, always "support" from the outside), nor will allow smooth functioning of the government they support. I'd club the Communists with the JD(S) as being the two entities most unworthy of trust in Indian polity.
