Weekend Musings: Riots, Varun Gandhi, Exit Polls, hurried emails
Start your weekend with this great post by Kislay Chandra on Riots and “Firaaq“.
Next, read TVR Shenoy on Why Varun and why not Geelani? but more importantly – think about this question that he raises in the article:

Here is an unusual post on how Twitter can make you amoral.
For those following the fortunes of Sh Shashi Tharoor, here is an HT report articulating whyÂ

Enjoy the weekend. Stay healthy. keep smiling.

I am honoured Sir . You considered my post strong enough to give a link to . May I know if you have read any of my other posts ?
Kislay: Thanks. I could sense the raw emotion in your post – especially the poem…and I felt it should be shared more widely…and yes, I have read some of your other posts too.
P.S. It has been a VERY long time since someone addressed me as “Sir” – Please don’t. It makes me feel old. 🙂
Thank you . And I shall not address you that way . You are as old as you feel . I am still 18 . 🙂
@ Kislay: You are as old as you feel
I liked that !! I am barely 20 🙂
