Western Media’s last Hurrah and Buddhist China
I guess if you have been born to believe that you have a God given mandate to rule te world - and for the rest of the minions to be consigned to pats on their backs, or be out sourcers for your cheap goods at home, or somewhere to flood the market almost forcibly sometimes [...]
Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Olympics: Could India have done it ?
I am sure that is a question in all our minds. Let aside India - could any other country have pulled this off? Hopefully India could achieve something of this kind of a show if required - the talent is there - but perhaps just the sheer ability to go that last mile is missing [...]
