What Nagaland doesn't need is a Neroesque politician
The tragedy of the Naga political movement has been the annihilation of Nagas by Nagas themselves.
The Nagas have remained cleaved along various schools of thought. Between radicals and moderates (from the killing of Theyieu Sakhrie to that of Kaito Sema) among the insurrectionists themselves. Also between those underground and those overground (from the killing of Imkongliba Ao to that of the Kevichusa brothers).
And somewhere complicating all these delicate equations and rendering all calculations awry are the perennial inter-tribe schisms. Exploiting all these to the hilt are politicians, giving all internecine killings a tribal hue. The blight continues.
Beri, Beri juvenile
For a book priced at an astronomical Rs 1 lakh (that would be $2,250 or thereabouts), it ought to be your unfettered right to know what on earth lies between the blazing covers. But Ritu Beri isn't telling you. You need to buy the book to find out as much, that has been her repartee all this while. What the blazes!
Anyway, don't you tax your brain too much about the issue, having read those eulogising agency news items; this blog will actually vindicate your ill-founded fears. The book is not going to tax your brain much either. Yes, it is a no-brainer. The tome only proves that Ritu Beri's 28 inch waist matches her two-digit IQ. No, that's not a nasty one – there are nastier ones to come. Read on, pray.
The kids are not allright
This one is hard to believe — two schools in Mumbai have issued notices asking girls and boys studying there not to touch or hug members of the opposite sex.
Did you just say OMG?
CNN-IBN reports [Link]:
Vibgyor School and Jamnabai Nursery School have specifically forbidden boys and girls from touching or hugging members of the opposite sex in the school premises.
School authorities say the rule will “discipline” students, who are easily exposed to and influenced by violence and vulgarity on TV and other media.
"It is our duty ki unko bataya jai kya sahi hai, kya galat hai (... to tell them what's right and what's wrong)," Trustee of Vibgyor School, Rustam Kherawala argues, justifying the move.
