Headley's Disclosures*

David Coleman Headley has disclosed that ISI and LeT had helped in the Mumbai blasts. Then why can't the Indian Govt ask the US to extend its war on terror to Pakistan and extradite those involved. When an Indian case is cited, the US practises double-standards despite it asking Pakistan to soften its ire against India.

Terrible Turn for Kanimozhi*

"The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power and all that wealth ever gave lead but to the grave". Thomas Gray's lines are apt in the case of Kanimozhi in the 2G scam.Never would have she expected such a turn of events: The CBI inquiry,the rout in the elections and an ailing father fast losing his clout at the Centre.

Raise responsible kids*

The stormy childhood of modern day tiny tots is deplorable.Parents should make it clear to their children their intention of rearing them with strong value systems.Costly things they demand should not be given to them on a silver platter. Values like sharing,caring and respect for the aged, responsibilities as citizens growing up into the 'generation next' should be what parents must seek to ingrain into their children.
