| T. J. S. George: How we smashed a Jewel
What a pathetic plight Air - India has reached. It's become the first Government - owned company that is unable to pay salaries. The Unions blame the Government and insist on their privileges. Which means the irresistible force of business economics is in head - on collision with the immovable object of employee resistance. Disaster beckons. Public sympathy is unlikely to be with Air - India. For one thing, it has been unpopular with passengers for many years. The reasons range from unreliable timings to on-board discrimination against Indians. In the Gulf sector, where it maintained a lucrative monopoly for as long as it could, its ill - treatment of passengers on delayed flights had become a scandal.

 If Michael is accused of child abuse, then the parents who sent their children to his house should be guilty too. But Michael Jackson’s real issue began when he started to change his persona from being a cute African American 11 – year - old boy singing catchy tunes, to a single white female and finally to an alien like creature. So was Michael Jackson trying to become Caucasian? Did he think he would be more accepted throughout the world if he was white? Well, if he did think it and if that’s why he got his skin grafted, it worked considering that Michael Jackson was, and still is, one of the most loved musicians in Europe in a time when some European countries were still racist.

 A young boy was driving alone in his car on a wild stormy night. It was raining heavily. He passed by a bus stop and saw three people standing, waiting for the bus. One was an old lady, who looked as if she was about to die. The second was an old friend who had once saved his life. The third was a young girl he had been dreaming about. In the young man’s car there was space for only one person as the smart seats in the rear were folded up and loaded with luggage. Thus he was left wondering whom he should choose to offer the lift. He was caught in a moral and ethical dilemma. Read On PÀÄrà gÀd¤ÃPÁ0vï ±ÉuÉÊ: ºÀ¤UÀªÀ£ÀUÀ¼ÀÄ

To Radiocity FM with love and disgust.
Of late, they have started broadcasting Kannada songs. This is done in the evening during the weekdays in a programme called Hotair. They broadcast some 4-5 songs, that's it. This is really bad. The issue here is not just about Kannada songs but it should be seen in a broader sense. It is about the bias against Kannada by Radiocity. When a full 4 hours can be dedicated for Old Hindi songs(11 O'clock show), 15 hours for English music and the rest for new Hindi music, is it impossible to dedicate 2-3 hours for the local language. This is my point. Read On
