A nice article on Mt Everest expedition (http://www.thehindu.com/arts/magazine/article2395900.ece). The hardcopy edition of the article in the newspaper had another lovely photograph which is missing here :(.

I Love Religious Sentiment
I read this (http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_muslims-snub-imam-s-call-to-boycott-hazare-protest_1579080) today.
I am surprised how some Muslims seem to insert religion even into an anti corruption rally. What really is religious about "Vande Mataram" and "Bharat"?
I really fail to understand them.
Lokpal Bill And Anna Hazare
A friend sent me this link http://m.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=265094053500813&refid=0&_ft_a=556917535&_ft_tf=257999390887079&_ft_tpi=556917535&_ft_ti=17&_ft_sai=2309869772&_ft_fth=c584fa17e665becc&_ft_src=1&_ft_time_ft=1314138972&_ft_mf_objid=257999390887079.
I liked it a lot. Is Anna Hazare doing things right?

The Best Kapoor
This Kapoor is unlike the other ones. This one is after my own heart. About a year or two back I went to a show where he was the chief guest. He had come with his wife and he was on a wheel chair. He still had the josh and still immensely likable, 40 years after his heydays. That too in Chennai.
I mentioned about him to Femmo. She said (guess she moved with the filmy crowd) he was a lovely man. Rare it is to hear Femmo say anything nice about anyone.
This article explains the Shammi-Rafi magic I felt

Mongolia
At last these days there is news about Mongolia in the papers (http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article2306085.ece). Mongolia is one of those places which is hardly ever in the news.
