Alistair gets 6 months for killing 7 people – front page – Times of India (link when it gets uploded on their website – for now, log into their e-paper).
Dilip in country you know – But please do not worry particularly about public reaction to this sentence. Because — so lucky! — it came down when people are occupied with a far more vital discussion in the same country: about patriotism that may or may not flow from cakes and instrumental versions.
Come now, Dilip the TOI does ask for reader responses – do you believe justice has been done? – in mytimesmyvoice, no less…
So what if they expect readers to express their reaction under the subject : World Cup – surely supporting the country’s cricket team is patriotic too? I guess this is just ToI’s way of showing what they have learnt over years and years – there are some subjects which are sure to gain public attention and some which never do. Insults to national honor and a losing sports team belong to the former.

Boy, have I struggled to get into your blog! Just shows I am still a ham at this. But, it was important to get started.
I have just launched a new Internet resource on Hindustani music. http://swaratala.blogspot.com. I invite you to visit the site. If you find it respectable, you could please give it an honourable mention on your own website.
Best wishes and regards. Deepak Raja
