Sheila is in trouble, only Sonia can save her. But will Sonia?

Sheila Dikshit is going through a crisis. Attendance at CM's: 22/47. A PTI report says Delhi Congress president Rambabu Sharma today met central leaders Moti Lal Vora and Janardan Dwiwedi and is understood to have demanded "action" against her in the wake of her walkout from a party meeting. Party Lok Sabha Member of Parliament from New Delhi constituency Ajay Maken, once Dikshit's blue-eyed boy, was also present during the meetings Sharma had separately with the two central Congress leaders.

It's getting too hot to handle for the chief minister. This blog had the weather forecast for Sheila the day Rambabu became the local party chief.
Read it here.

Guess who blinked first?

Secular-Right India: Gyanendra, Almost Ready To Blink. And here's what is happening: First our Foreign Minister Natwar Singh met Gyanendra and now the PM has met him. PM meets Gyanendra.

Instead of the mindgames, India should have woken up to the Nepal threat early. We must crush the Maoists in Nepal, if Nepal can't. Because any trouble in the Himalayan Kingdom affects India and its interests. The Maoists have built a Red corridor from China to Tamil Nadu via Nepal, Bihar, Jharkhand and Andhra Pradesh. They kill at will in the areas they control.

They have been running a parallel administration in large parts of the country, while the city-dwelling politicians debate how to deal with them. With a clear lack of unity and resolve. Andhra declares a ceasefire, Maharashtra goes on the offensive, there's a war on in Jharkhand while Bihar had always had thousand wars on.

A bleeding Nepal is the last thing India can afford now.

India is accused to throw the big-brother weight around in the region even when Bangladesh Rifles jawans mutilate our soldiers. First the infmaous Pirduwa when 16 BSF jawans were doled out deaths that didn't have the dignity that a soldier deserves. And now BSF officer Jeewan Kumar snatched under the cover of a flag meeting.

India keeps silent to keep peace, but at what cost? Bangladesh is turning into Afghanistan. Even Pakistan woke up to the reality of Afghanistan. Will India wake up?

I have less wrinkles than Camilla: Charles*


"The one my forehead aren't wrinkles, idiot"

The newly-wed Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles have said that the bride has more wrinkles than the prince does.

"It's such a wonderful experience. We are discovering each other. Those grooves on my face aren't wrinkles actually, they are my permanent frowns. But all thanks to Andrew Parker Bowels, she has been a constant source of smile. Now that we are intimate enough, we have been counting them and can say we have the result," the Prince told a packed house at Crathie in Scotland's Aberdeenshire, where they came for their honeymoon.

Asked what else they have discovered in the first days of their marriage, Camilla said, "As soon as we finished with the wrinkles, he had to see a physio and I had to go for my heart specialist. At this age, there's not much we can do, you understand."

"It's not that I hadn't seen her like that, you know, like that. But we never had a relaxed time. Now that we are legally married, I am not ashamed of doing all that I wanted to do to her and with her," the prince added.

The Prince married his lover of 35 years on April 9, in a ceremony attended by many Britons who vowed to not call her a horse now that she's royalty.

The Prince was happy at the British people's gesture, "It's nice to know that she'll no longer be called a horse. I love horses, though."

*Tastes best with a pinch of salt.
