A Few Observations

I was going through the matrimonial section of India Today. Before any conclusions are drawn let me clarify that I had time to kill and had read the rest of the magazine. So anyway, one thing that was clear was that the brides want professionally qualified grooms. One or two asked for post graduates specifically. Today there are many instances when a woman says no to a man (this is normal in a proposal but probably less so in an arranged setup :P). One of the reasons why people opt for a post graduate degree/diploma is that there are just too many graduates out there. Probably in the coming days it will also be to be able to marry the right girl!

The opposition in the Parliament is vociferously demanding that A Raja has to resign for his alleged role in the 2G spectrum allocation "scam". I am just curious to find out whether someone has asked for a legal investigation. If the minister has indeed received kickbacks he must pretty happy from a financial point of view. So he stands to lose more if there is a proper investigation than if he is just dismissed (please don't say duh!). If he is dismissed it will only be a matter of time before he is back. People and political parties especially have very short memories. Anybody remember the BJP asking for the removal of a certain "tainted" minister who they later joined hands with to come to power?

how can there be a "proper" investigation if he is still an important minister in the govt.. anyways that's the logic ppl usually are asked to resign whenever an investigation starts.. I guess the oppn wants him to resign first and then start the in.

yay! my first visit to your blog..

welcome :) true, true. i still am sure nothing is going to happen, but maybe such fatalism also has a role to play in the non conviction of politicians!
