Apparently ndtv convergence has tied up exclusively with the Art of Living Foundation for rights to all mobile-based content. Initially the service will be available to Airtel users and then will later on be available on other operators also. Somehow I found it hard to think about the concept of business exclusivity in relation to spirituality, especially (or am I being naive?) in India where traditionally such knowledge has followed the Biblical saying, "ask and ye shall receive".
I believe the foundation is rich enough to put the content online and pay someone like ndtv to maintain it. The website can always carry ads or ask for donations.
Moving on, we know that sensationalism triumphs over the mundane any day, at least initially. Now as per news available in the public domain two chief ministers from the BJP, one incumbent and one former would make for some interesting if horrifying reading.
A former judge who investigated the Gujarat riots said there was audio proof of Haren Pandya, the deceased former home minister of the state talking about Modi asking the police to let the Hindu rioters vent their feelings. Pandya was shot dead some time after he was removed from his post, having had a falling out with Modi.
The former Karnataka CM, Yeddyurappa is considered to be "close" to Shobha Karandlaje another BJP member. His wife died under unnatural circumstances. One allegation is that he murdered his wife because of a relationship with Ms Karandlaje! Don't we have interesting politicians?
