It’s 1.45 am, and for a second I wasn’t sure what I saw. The desipundit.com site seems to be suspended by the web host.
This is the message I saw:

Yes, really. The comments on news websites (even after moderation) are so ridiculous sometimes. Especially when the topic is even slightly sensitive.
Rediff message boards are a perfect example of this. Take any story that has some religious angle, and you will find a great brawl. The horrible English is OK, we weren’t born into English-speaking [...]
I was in Mumbai recently, during the hard rainy season. Met Bijoy of BSMotoring (he’s a classmate from Kerala) and while we were discussing Formula One racing, he explained that he likes Fernando Alonso, the reigning world champion. Seems the hot-headed spaniard has a way of attacking corners that shows he is not afraid to [...]
The Elder Wand and all that stuff
When I write my initial post about the Plot Holes in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, I never expected the kind of response it generated.
My plot holes were picked apart, analysed, dissected, destroyed, thrown in the garbage bin, recovered and refurbished and thrown in the garbage bin again.
The [...]
Yes. I am. Heh heh.
If you have been blogging for a while, you know what TLA is. Text Link Ads are those little text links that you see on some blogs and sites that link directly to another website.
Essentially what does TLA do? It offers bloggers a way to monetize their blog by using those [...]
At least that is what I think. Sharique has written an open letter to the firebrand atheist (and anti-Islamist) writer on indianmuslims.in
I have a few problems with it, though.
Before that, just how does she spell her name? In the Indianmuslims.in post, her name is mentioned as both Nasrin and Nasreen – and strangely, even her [...]
Recently, we started a Digg-like Formula One social news bookmarking site using the popular open source script Pligg.
To a large extent, it runs well.I am no PHP or database expert and can barely edit a CSS file, but have managed to successfully install it on a few domains, and this was no different.
Today, however, was [...]
Continuing on the theme of my last post.
Today I heard that Arun Shourie is going to file a privilege motion against the PM Dr Manmohan Singh for misleading parliament on the nuclear issue. More specifically for claiming in parliament that India can conduct nuclear testing if it wants, and that the 123 Nuclear agreement is [...]
First of all, I do not claim to know much about the Indo-US 123 Nuclear Co-operation agreement. So this post is not about that at all.
But there has been something that Dr Manmohan Singh and proponents of the 123 agreement in India have been claiming. They say that India has the right to conduct nuclear [...]
Been a resident of Mumbai for 12 years, and almost one year in Delhi now. All metros have a problem of drinking and driving, and accidents caused by it. You hear a lot less about it in Mumbai generally, but when you do, it is on the lines of half a dozen people sleeping on [...]
