Ice Rain in Chennai

At around 3 PM yesterday, got an excited call from my Mom. She gave a live commentary abt Ice rain in royapettah, chennai - a never seen before phenomenon. Harsh sunlight was all that I got when I opened the blinds at my office in velachery. Missed the cool happening. But wonder whatz the cause? Nature just showing off its power?

That was one hell of a match yesterday! A treat to cricket lovers..

BTW, ESPN has just added a cool 200 crore to its kitty. The Ad spots for India-Pakistan final Twenty20 match was at an all-time high of Rs 7.5-10 lakh per 10 seconds - a record highest for Indian TV. They will sure try to maximise their profit, afterall they had bidded $1.1-billion and won the ICC rights for the next eight years. Big Business!!

EconomicTimes reports the numbers.

Caste Judgement

"The Supreme Court on Monday said schools in the country cannot compel students to disclose their caste status at the time of admission. Any such disclosure shall be optional, or in other words, it should be left to the discretion of the student to divulge his/her caste identity, a bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan said."

Hmm..But I can't remember the last time I filled a 'Religion' column in any form..So things are much better after growing up..I guess..

Government Backtracks

Union Law Minister Hans Raj Bhardwaj has said the government will withdraw the offending remarks from the Ram sethu affidavit and file a fresh one. Also added that Lord Ram cannot be made subject to a debate.

Just like I said in my previous blog - oh my god! yesterday.
"A round of applause..please.. to the brave souls who went ahead & spoke the truth. [popular votebank will defintely get angry over this..I'm sure the govt will now try to balance the theist & the pious lot! by issuing appeasing statements....]"

Long Live the Truth!!
