Ravi, we had a bad experience while transiting through Paris last December so good luck to you.

Vi, the terrorists are smiling smugly at their ‘mission accomplished’.

M, true.

Periyar: There is no god. Religion perpetrates casteism. Abolish it. Rajaji: Ahy do you condemn all of religion. There is some good and some bad in it. Take the good and leave out the bad. periyar: If u mix poison with sugar and ask people to eat just the sugar parts of it, how can they do it? I hate periyar. I usually never quote him. But this post seemed to provide the right context. The conversation between Rajaji and E.V.K.Periyar comes to mind. the latter is an atheist and the former a sanskrit schol of eminence.

I cannot believe the brits can be as barbaric as this. This incident just re-affirms my fear and annoyance at transiting via LHR. I guess I'll just stick to France or Switzerland (or Frankfurt) if I'm transiting via Europe in future. Jeez!

After 9/11, there were several cases of Indian/Middle Eastern/Sikh people off-loaded from flights due to complaint by passengers. Somehow I am not surprised by this.
