I hate the barbaric violence of the Islamic State, they are on a killing spree and this should come down at the earliest.  Let us hope  that they are brought to book peace prevails in the Middle east.

Lalit Modi

Till a few days ago, the media went gaga over Lalit Modi and the names he was revealing.  They suddenly had a change of mind and are now after Vyapam.  Well, why did they leave it all of a sudden?  What did the some of the media houses do themselves in the process?  Did they stop it because  a few names are bringing discomfort for them?  Check this very nice article by Smt.

I am slowly being forced to believe that unbiased media will become a myth in India.  A few wrong people are bringing bad name to the entire system.  Thanks to social media, else we would not have known many truths.
