Pakistan pay this time (www.newindpress.com)

Tirukural
- Chapter 84: Folly. The folly of all follies is to find pleasure in doing what
one is forbidden to do (Kauai_Hindu_Monastery@jnanadana.com)
Vedic
Verses for 12/3/08. The ten abstinences are nonviolence, truth, nonstealing,
chastity,kindness, rectitude, forgiveness, endurance, temperance in food and
purity. He who knows this, having become peaceful, controlled, detached, patient
and concentrated, sees the atman in himself and sees all in the atman. Evil does
not overcome him, but he overcomes all evil; evil does not consume him, but he
consumes all evil. Free from evil, free from passion, free from doubt, he
becomes a knower of Brahman. (Kauai_Hindu_Monastery@jnanadana.com)
Gospel
of Jesus: Did Jesus advise to Divide, to Kill, and to Rule? Was he a Terrorist?

VIP
security: At the cost of common man. The Manmohan Singh government's majority
was under threat after the Left pulled out. So, Amar Singh's threat perception
and security was upgraded to Z-plus, after the SP voted for the government. in
Parliament. Amar Singh faces no terror threats. (www.ndtv.com)
Foot-in-mouth
disease - If only our politicians could be cautious! Maharashtra Chief Minister
Vilasrao Deshmukh, who is desperately trying to cling on to office, may have
resisted the temptation of shoving his feet into his mouth in full public view,
but he has really fared no better than either Mr Patil or Mr Achuthanandan. It
is unimaginable that he should have gone on a guided tour of the gutted Taj
Mahal Palace hotel along with his actor son Reitesh and director of Bollywood
kitsch Ram Gopal Varma after NSG commandos had killed the last of the terrorists
and sanitised the place.
Next
terror attack on US possibly with weapons of mass destruction, the report said
will originate in Pak: Report (http://dailypioneer.com/)
Accountability
Of Intelligence Agencies. It seems to be the contention of the IB and the
R&AW that what happened in Mumbai was a serious instance of physical
security failure and failure to act on available intelligence and not an
instance of intelligence failure. (By B. Raman) (http://southasiaanalysis.org)
PAKISTAN:
THUS FAR & NO FURTHER. The US was interested only in protecting the lives
and property of its citizens and in preventing another 9/11 in the US homeland
from Pakistani territory. So long as Pakistan was co-operating with the US in
action against Al Qaeda, the US closed its eyes and continues to close its eyes
to Pakistani support for acts of jihadi terrorism directed against India. (By
B.Raman) (http://southasiaanalysis.org)
Congress:
The end of an innings? Mahatma Gandhi wanted the Congress to be dissolved in
1947. It is now due to be dissolved in 2009. (By M.V. Kamath) (http://www.organiser.org/)
(G.C.A : I clearly remember that Mahatma Gandhi had also said that sick of
Congress Members’ conduct people may man-handle (and worse?) accused Congress
man in the streets. Let us hope that things will not go that far.)
Kerala
Church in the dock after the arrest of two priests and a nun on rape, murder
charges. Despite seven teams of CBI investigating this case for almost 15 years,
no arrests could be made, because of the political, social and muscle power of
the church which was prepared to go from Narasimha Rao to Sonia Gandhi to save
its tainted clergy.(By S Chandrasekhar) (http://www.organiser.org/) ( G.C.A Very
unfortunate that Kerala Church is infested by sex crimes; also the Church has
influence upto India’s Prime Minister’s and even higher levels to destroy
evidence and to save criminal priests !)
