Its a dream to do a cross country on one of those. The import duty on one of those babies from what I hear is 60%.
Until I can afford one of those, am content with the desi version.

Harley-Davidson: Live By It
Stumbled upon this HD video. Shut up - watch & listen.

Catch em young
MNS is on a massive recruitment drive in Maharashtra. Uneducated and traumatized youth are the target audience. Nasik has received the Day 0 status. Recruiters from MNS chose this location due to it being the heartland of Maharashtra.
NDTV reports:
"Two days after Raj Thakeray revived his campaign against north Indians, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) workers went on the rampage disrupting Republic Day celebrations at a school in Nashik.
The workers assaulted parents and beat up participants. They didn't even spare posters of the martyrs of 26/11".
Full report here
"Research tells us that by by shutting down schools and beats parents in their children's presence we turn kids into MNS material" , a MNS spokesman quoted.
To add to that when you disrupt peace on "Republic" day it sends a clear message to the potential candidate that democracy is flexible and the republic is a farce. Motivating uneducated and unemployed youth is easier than stealing candy from a baby.
Corporate India....here we come.

Episode 1 - The Denial
Denial has been Pakistan’s biggest weapon against the 26/11 attack accusations. Zaradari would have better off tattooing his denial, Gajini style for his first press conference post 26/11. Would have saved him a lot of headache.
To add to that the visit of that dungpot British foreign secretary to India where he backed Pakistan.
Episode 2 - A Rat Comes To Town...
My fledgling attempt at a comic strip.

Politics v/s Business
The Satyam fiasco is being touted as the Enron of India. Our obsession with the US does not seem to end.
Close to 53000 employees stand to loose their job, millions of share holders loose their life savings and the credibility of the Indian IT sector takes a beating. Ramalinga Raju is the new symbol of hate. Blood is what we want. 2 lawsuits have been filed against Raju in the US and he may do 7 yrs in prison. Flying off the handle I feel this is a conspiracy to divert attention from the 26/11 tragedy, but that's just me. With election around the corner anything is possible....
How is running Satyam different from running a country? I know the scale and dynamics are different but so are the resources and power at a government's disposal. Raju, was not born with a sliver spoon in his mouth...(rephrased)...a CPU up his arse and did not have a line of code as a tattoo. He build Satyam from scratch. So how does the equation work?
UPA - India 26/11 = USA 9/11 leads to bollywood tours, dialogs and a few resignations.
Raju - India Satyam = USA Enron = resignation, lawsuits, jail time and attempted suicide.
If pushed right Raju should be able to cough up compensation for everybody hit and the fired employees will eventually find employment.
The government let's terrorists enter the country, kill over 200 people in Mumbai (the financial capital), attack and destroy the symbols of prosperity and what happens to the government? NOTHING. No lawsuits, jail time or suicides. What happens is the they retained Delhi and recaptured Rajasthan.
So baccha log....inspire not to be entrepreneurs cause:
VIPs > CEOs+CFOs+COOs+MDs+CMOs
