Good news, Bad news

they say an increasing number of foreign patients will be headed to indian shores for treatment that is cheap and compares well with that received in their home countries. this means there are good growth opportunities for corporate medicine. this reflects the world-class quality of indian healthcare providers. but quite unfortunately none of this advanced medical care will be available to the average citizen of the country. all the foreign exchange goes into private coffers or indifferent government treasuries. someday the common man can hope to receive the same treatment meted out to the cash heavy foreigner. the outcome of this business is an increase in posh hospitals and swanky private clinics while the need of the hour is decent rural health centres. well hope is that somewhere along the line the doctors, the businessmen or the government will realise the bare necessities of the populace and will strive to seek a balance between business and responsibility.

Nude goddesses

Indian painter sorry for nude art

bbc reported that m f hussain's paintings have again caused a furore and hindu nationalist protests have lead to an apology and withdrawal of the painting from an auction to help the victims of the recent natural disaster.

whoever these hindu nationalists are probably have never been to a hindu temple. most of the edifices are decorated with sensual depictions of the human form which are supposedly some of the numerous gods and goddesses. khajuraho is my answer to these people whoever they are. the temple is as hindu as it gets but is famous for the evocative and erotic culture. maybe the hindu nationalists need to go figure their idealogies or simply get a life.

Go Hyderabad!

Well i guess indian engineers can now get busy at home. i just hope this wont spur the growth of new colleges. knowing things here, soon there may be an engineering college in every village. 258 already!!

Dried Exithole

i arrested and rested.
i churned and turned
still came no water like a lover spurned.
it gurgled and gargled
at me it spat
leaving me to dry over the shit i sat.
