Twitter is once again abuzz with anti Shiv Sena outpouring. Many return tweets on this one: Amir & Shah Rukh are '2 Idiots' : Shiv Sena.

So we had the aging and increasingly inconsequential Bal Thackeray fire yet another salvo against Sachin Tendulkar; this time without even any imagined provocation. His earlier criticism of our national cricketing hero evoked such a groundswell of indignation and ire from all sections everywhere, that Thackeray grew more offensive; more unpleasant and even more personal.

Bal Thackeray scion Udhhav went on record to liken Raj to a rat in a cage and the banished cousin promptly replied by saying that Uddhav was like a snake who gets himself a readymade home rather than making the effort to build it himself. Obviously a not so veiled reference to Udhhav receiving his father’s political legacy in inheritance to the detriment of Raj.

The much hyped and probably the most controversial election of DUSU in the recent years has demonstrated the real impact of strict imposition of code of conduct in the campus of Delhi University this year as the results came out on Saturday afternoon.

In an impossible to believe incident, the Andhra Pradesh Chief Ministers YSR Reddy and his helicopter went missing yesterday and now 24 hours after the chopper fell off the radar, people are none the wiser as to their whereabouts. In spite of the security that our politicians routinely have, it sounds incredible the something like this can actually happen and that the kind of search and rescue missions that were mobilized soon thereafter, also yielded no results yet. This is the frist time in independent India’s history that something like this has happened.

The U.S. may keep saying that they are putting no pressure on the two sides to resume dialogue, but ultimately the question remains, what has changed to bring about what is practically a U turn in New Delhi’s attitude towards Islamabad.
