She's staying with the family , free boarding/lodging. Well to most Indians it is case of let her get charged and punished whatever by Indian government , Indian courts. As long as she is an Indian diplomat/Indian representative they see it as a national insult/humiliation when she is...

Well update on this. Indian govt asked US embassy to report the salaries they paid for the workers they hire . Indian employees are paid $200-$250 per month by the US embassy in India.The salary does not break any Indian law though. The Indian maid in this case is paid $573 per month. I...

Solstices make more sense yea . We should be able to explain to some alien to what we denote the start of a year. When the earth is closest/farthest away from sun is infinitely easier to explain . Of course right now we have 24 randomly preselected points. Timezones :p

Happy change the old calender for a new calender day.

What's the story with Rogers? Why was he given a place in the team so late in his career?. Was it because of finding no place in the all conquering Aussie side?

I still need to buy some self defense weaponry and get training. If some self appointed 'super natural being' comes and tries to kill me , he would have a nasty surprise waiting for him.

I remember reading that smaller bench court decisions could be overturned by larger bench of same court. So could a 9 bench court decision be overturned by a larger bench or does even a larger than 9 bench exist?

And move it back to new york after a month. You are new business now :p

I'm speechless. I guess since it is a verdict by a 9 member bench in supreme court ,no chance of it being overturned ? . Can Legislature create a law to overturn it?. Extending the same logic they should strip search the politicos and judges everytime they come to office. Who knows what they...

By the way why are strip searches ,cavity searches conducted for jailed people in US? . Are they afraid of smuggling arms into jail?. Wouldn't metal detector or something be better?. Or is it 'war on drugs' , preventing people from smuggling in drugs or something?. Wouldn't it be better...

Would have been more interesting if SA went for win. However since it is a 2 match test series, thanks to BCCI politics , they didn't want to risk going 1-0 down in a home series. I guess they are confident of winning the next test.

Well well good match. After long time we played well overseas..against the #1 team as well. Down to the last over. Fair result finally.

In India strip search , cavity search is seen as humilating. It is not done in Indian jails , airports unless there is suspicion someone is hiding something . An year back an ex Indian president Abdul Kalam was strip searched twice in US which prompted similar outrage . Indian envoy to UN a sikh...

Indian GDP per capita is $1100 per year. Coming to around 90$ per month. Diplomats salary is 50 times that. India is still a very poor country and total GDP is high only because of population . $4500 per month is a very high salary for Indians. You can't expect for the pay to be according to...
