    The only mean-spririted one I see here is an American trying to incite hatred/suspicions between Indians and Chinese. Even if there was a Chinese on this post criticizing India, what would be wrong with that as long as the criticism is based on facts and not ill wishes? I am usually pro U.S. but even I am a little sick of the U.S.'s active ally with other countries in the region against China kind of sentiment lately.

    Oh, and both China and the U.S. deserve plenty of criticism in many areas, and I would not automatically assume anyone of different nationalities criticising them must be mean spirited.

    There is a small matter of a false ceiling to add to the cockups. But my man Bhanot has been a source of hilarity since the start. Now he is getting his due

    Lalit Bhanot has shamed India « The Dawn

    You would get similar comments from the Indian media as well

    LOL, Me thinks its most if not all of them stains on the sinks are from that crap they chew. Pan Masala I think it's called but not sure. Is a far more deplorable habit than smoking I would say.

    It looks worse than some of the backpacker places in the pahagarnj i stayed at. India is a great place to live if you are a cow though.

    "A spokesman for the Scottish team, Jon Doig said: "We are heartened that [Delhi chief minister] Sheila Dikshit has personally taken control of the situation and ensuring that the necessary additional resources are brought in"



    Sheila has made a name for herself in this line of work.
