I-Calling

Vivek D.N. Sinha, Hyderabad :MQM Leader Altaf Hussain says the ‘Titanic’ of Pakistan is sinking. Comment.
Before sinking, the ‘Titanic’ broke up; so the RSS chief need not advise India to break up Pakistan.

That is why Nietzsche, I think, said the last Christian died on the cross.

Has not corruption caused the crisis of governance in India?
Corruption has caused a crisis in all aspects of Indian life, including governance.

Anand Hiremath, Bangalore : How is it that information technology expertise is spreading so fast in India?

That is because our IT expertise dates from the ancient days of Panini, who made Sanskrit perfect for computers.

Why is the computer mouse called a mouse?
Perhaps because the computer is today's storehouse of knowledge, and the mouse is the vehicle of Ganesha, Lord of knowledge.

* * *

What is the effect of the Internet?
We used to say this is a small world, now we can say it is a tiny world.

* * *

Do you have a laptop?
I don't have even a table-top, I have only a table.
