“Me marathi nasoonahi assal mumbaikar aahe. Tumhi marathi asoonahi mumbaikar naahit.” If you read Marathi albeit in the Roman alphabet then you must read this impassioned post on being a Mumbaikar by T. One of the best tirades against the Thackeray clan who have blemished the Mumbai spirit as much as the terrorists have.

This can happen if those nations’ citizens decide they don’t want their own country to be dishonored by allegiances with terror groups. Otherwise, other nations may have to act [source].
Mr. Kristol, replace Pakistan [...]

-Written by Aditya [aditya (at) theindicast.com]
The South Mumbai seige is over but the scars still remain. My office is in the Air India Building which is right next to the Oberoi Trident. The exterior of the hotel does not show that the building was under attack just 36 hours back but the interior of the [...]

Although the attacks were carried out at off-peak hours, the extent of damage from advanced ammunition used by the terrorists was significant.

Control, yaar
If it were up to few adults, we would be considered a nation of sex crazed children waiting to jump our classmates’ and indulge in some heavy petting if not outright sexual congress.

Venting against Online Communities
What does your local Shiv Sena shakha do when it wants to protest against certain online communities on Orkut that write derogatory on Shivaji and the Thackeray family?
Vandalize the neighborhood cyber cafe, of course!
Tsk tsk…the poor souls must think they can erase those communities if they smash the nearest computer screen. Someone please explain to [...]

Hindi-Marathi Khichdi
My brother sent me this couple of days back:
