Thursday, May 12, 2005 (New Delhi):


The Centre today assured Maharashtra that it would provide as much as 1,210 MW of electricity, including 610 MW at normal rates to the state to tide over the situation.

The state has been reeling under an acute power crisis.

An assurance to this effect was given by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh after a 40-minute meeting which deliberated on short-term measures to address the problem.

Deshmukh told reporters that out of the 610 MW, 300 MW would come from Kawas project in Gujarat and 250 MW from Tarapur nuclear power plant. (PTI)

[They call this an automobile in India!]

Nope, it is called an auto for an autorickshaw, not an automobile. Nice try but no dice!

A minor correction to set the mirchi on fire permanently!

Mirchi KO mirchi laggi!

Mirchi to mirchi laggi!

They call this an automobile in India!

cayenne, but the paki expressway is still much longer, older and better than the bombay-poona (or is it panvel-shivaji nagar). so time to outsource..pronto.

``shivsena made big bucks erecting hosing for dharaviwallas``

I remember SS promising houses to slum-dwellers during Manohar Joshis time. What I remeber is the idea went bust because of drop in real estate value.

If Hyundai keeps pissing like this in India we certainly welcome it :)

Hyundai to invest $700 mn in India

May 11, 2005 17:31 IST


Hyundai Motors India Ltd, a subsidiary of the Korean auto giant, will achieve the critical one million mark in car sales in India by March 2006 and is likely to pump in about $700 million over the next three years to expand production capacity at its plant near Chennai.

shivsena made big bucks erecting hosing for dharaviwallas, but the reality is that no dharaviwallah wants to go live in tenements in salt yards of mulund which are too far away from his/her employmet place. so they sell these to other more newer entrants.

[harimou#25:

I could not see from your post where Ramesh opposed economic reform. If he tried to claim the credit for progress for the previous govt.`s action, this is what a political spokesperson is supposed to do. In any case, even the BJP does not argue that the reform process was started by it.]

I don`t need to read the columns of somebody who has no regard for truth.

I don`t believe that ``Doesn`t it feel good now that I have stopped raping you`` is a good excuse for 50 years of misrule. You, on the other hand, seem to belong to the school of thought that says, ``If rape is inevitable, lie down and enjoy it.``

Ref Netizen #40

[....If rules are followed no slum would be erected. People like Athavale who promise slums (on gov. land) to the immigrants and themselves live in posh bungalows should be hounded and put behind bars.]

Nope. 10,000 slumdwellers should show up three times a day and sh!t and piss inside his compound. Same thing goes for people like Teesta Setalvad, Uma K, Amrita Rajan, Amit, Sonia Gandhi (who stopped the demolition of Bombay slums), Medha Patkar, Jyothi Basu, Buddhadeb Bhattacharya, Prakash Karat, etc. Anybody who so much as says `Boo` to the elimination of illegality should be given a dose of their own (or in this case somebody else`s) crap.

Slums should be demolished but the people who hoodwinked the slum dwellers should be punished big time.

It`s sad that poor people bear the brunt of breaking the law but the rich ones escape unhurt.

[But the Govt`s responsibility is not towards the tax-paying middle class alone, it is also towards all those who fall below the tax bracket (considering it is mainly because of their votes that the Govt came to power).]

Huh? Even if the Government comes into power mainly because of slum-dwellers` votes, why should it shoulder their responsibilty any more than it does for the tax-paying citizen? Doesn`t this remind us of the good old socialist raj/welfare state? Are you advocating that the Govt. provide them free food and housing, and for good measure, a dole?

[And the `millions of rupees` that a middle class person pays, do not subsidise the lifestyle of the shantyman, but go into the pockets of builders and their patron politicians. A lot of it is in black, remember?]

This wasn`t needed at all. Not every middle class guy has tons of black money, most of them loan money from the banks.
