Varsha rains on the war parade

The queen has sung again. Read all about her digressing tirade on the defence bureaucrats.

And someone at the AOL call center here got a call from the US saying "I want to cancel my account because you Indians aren't supporting the war against Iraq". Pronounced Eye-Rak. But I digress. This might sound like severely stupid, but think of it - an US AOL subscriber feels strongly enough about the war that he's going to cancel his account just because the (frikking) call center is in India which does not support the war. It may sound unhinged, but it's patriotism in an unhinged sort of way. I know you're thinking this is stupid, to boycott business in a political war. You're probably right.
