A glass of steaming milky syrupy tea is best served cut. One by two or two by three, it embodies the spirit of sharing and camaraderie (and more significantly a resource crunch). Come, have a sip.
I can't say anything that hasn't already been said, but growing up in a post-Independence India devoid of heroes, he was one of the few our elders taught us to adulate.
I studied for a few years at the Kendriya Vidyalaya (Central School) at Happy Valley, Shillong, which is set amidst the 58 Gorkha Training Centre (58 here stands for 5 and 8). And there dedicated to the now departed Field Marshall and honorary Gorkha is a museum. The next time I visit home will make it a point to say hi to Sam Bahadur memorabilia.
But, the political leadership and the top military brass do not seem to share similar sentiments.

In this campaign - actually a surrogate beer ad masquerading as a pseudo public service advertisement - for Haywards 5000 Soda, Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt hits out at metrosexuals. And urges Indian men to be more "manly."
Haywards 5000 has initiated a Mard Bachao Andolan, that seeks to rescue Indian manliness from the clutches of waxed eyebrows, manicures and facials. I wish them success.
Often friends ask me on how to deter people from copying or downloading stuff that they put up on the internet. My suggestion is simple - it is not worth the effort. Because anything that is displayed on the screen and emitted by the speakers can always be copied by the end users, with only a little extra effort.
While returning from home a few days ago, I ran into a school friend - now a risk manager and a budding photographer - who has put up a website via which he intends to sell his photos. "And no one can steal the photos from my site," he boasted. I tried to explain him that it is indeed very easy to circumvent the JavaScript had he had put in there. He didn't seem too convinced.

Another simple trick is to temporarily disable javascript on the browser, as most of this disabling is done via JavaScript, and then you can copy the images the usual way - right click > Save Image As.
To do so in Firefox, click on Tools (on the File menu) » Options » select the Content tab » deselect the Enable JavaScript checkbox » click OK.
To disable JavaScript in Internet Explorer (IE) go to Tools » Internet Options > click on the Security tab » click on the Custom Level button in the Security level for this zone section » scroll down and look for Scripting and click on the Disable radio button under Active scripting » click OK.
Just remember to revert back to your original javascript settings once you are through with your coping else you might not be able to experience the javascript powered features on some websites.
