Congress and BJP, strange but sure bedfellows.

In continuing with the BJP's incapacity we can only wonder what would be the world like if Congress and its cronies were to rule for next four years!

Frankly, in my books it is given that Congress will play some form of role in the next government  It could be in the role of the direct leadership (unlikely) or a senior prominent coalition partner (very likely) or an opposition. I think, the next elections will be same as it ever was, just scheming people to hand over their lives for five more years. 

There is no way BJP will ruin its chances because it very well knows it cannot capitalise on the corruption issues of Congress. Don't know what was paid to keep them silent, but it is certain that it will cost them the best chance to landslide victory they ever had. Well, they can still manufacture that victory, if they promise the Congress that the charges and investigations will go slow - read committees and JPCs. Why, that is the perfect solution for both BJP's and Congress's problems. And given all the things that we see, you can be pretty sure, such a thing might be conjured up --- IF, BJP is any interested in power at all. 

BJP, the so called principal opposition, has to answer lots of questions. They cannot negate the fact they were an utterly irresponsible and ineffective opposition. Whats more they were utterly negligent and incapable of using the opportunity offered by the open corruption of the ruling party. They have failed in every aspects of a good governing party. 

And to rest the fate of our country on the shoulders of these two corrupt bedfellows is utterly ridiculous and grudging position that India finds itself in.

Net Neutrality - Fight for free expression

The "Net neutrality" issue, where we fear networks/infrastructure providers will decide (euphemism for censorship) what customers will read/watch/listen/buy on net. Many of the features that we fear in the "Net-neutrality" have already been implemented across various other platforms like telecom. For example, my telecom service provider has blocked the competitors GPRS sites and also does not allow access to many other sites on Internet, from where the free goodies like mobile applications, software, games, wallpapers, tones etc can be downloaded. This leaves me with the only service provider for above products, the service provider himself. This is totally blocking my freedom and my right to choose. This is just a glimpse; with "Net-neutrality" issues at stake are enormous. There should be no way; any entity (maybe, other than individual governments.) should be able to determine what is accessible and what is not. :) Falkor

Definition of Cult Stocks

From a blog: A classification describing stocks that have a sizable investor following, despite the fact that the underlying company has somewhat insignificant fundamentals. Typically, investors are initially attracted to the company's potential and accumulate positions in speculation that its potential will be fulfilled, providing the investors with a substantial payout. While most of these cult stocks promise they will be the next big story after they make a new discovery or get the newest contract from the government, most do not provide investors with anything other than the story. Furthermore, these stocks typically generate very little, if any, revenue at all. For example, many micro-cap biotech stocks are cult stocks. While they promise that they are going to be working on a miracle compound or drug, most of them do not have any source of income as they slowly burn away their initial capital in research and development. However, some cult stocks do occasionally make good on...
