Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Current Issue


Much   Ado   About   Nothing   !

American spy-agencies , FBI and NSA , regularly  " spy "  upon , not only its own citizens ( - including its Congressmen / Senators ), but also on foreign dignitaries such as ,

>   Chancellor Angela Merkel   ( Germany )

>   Prime Minister Hollande      ( France  )

>   Prime Minister Cameron      ( Britain )

>   Prime Minister Kerzai          ( Afghanistan )

>   Sundry Indian Politicians...  etc


When revealed by whistle-blowers like Asange / Snowden , American Secretary of State , John Kerry simply said ,

"   All of this spying is crucial for the security of America.  We just cannot discontinue spying even if persons being spied upon are our close friends. If anyone feels hurt , we cannot help "

What Kerry left unsaid is ,


"  Period . Put up or shut up !

   Every country spies on its own citizens .

   If you don't know about this fundamental fact of statehood , you must be
   an ignoramus !  "


Those high and mighty kept quiet , since they are guilty of the spying , themselves  !

So , what is all this hoolaboolu about Gujarat police spying on a girl , as requested for , by her own father  ?

But since opposition politicians have run out of serious election issues , they must clutch at the straw to remain afloat  !

They know this is their only hope of appearing on TV news channels  !

What they seem to forget  is :

TV anchors - and their businessmen owners - know too well that people will stop watching a debate on a 5 year old " Non-Issue " after just 3 days  !

So , if they wish to continue to be invited on TV panel discussions , opposition politicians must find another " Non-Issue " - and fast  !

Much ado about nothing !
