Your read on Bhisma is oh so wrong, particularly in drawing a parallel with Hamlet. The two were as different as cows are from birds. Yes, Bhisma, maybe because of his vow to serve the House of Bharata, turned a blind eye to the excesses .... and, boy, did he suffer whole nights of guilt fot it ... Hamlet dithered, because he did not have the courage to avenge his father, because it would have meant going against his mother ... Bhisma dithered, because he had made a foolish vow to his father's new bride, mainly because of what his father's old bride, Ganga, did to his (father's) eight children ... get your apples and oranges correct, dear Lady.

I'm not against her asylum lady but U must be knowing that nothing in life is free and she stays at the cost of the state and lives off the indian taxpayer's money. She is a foreign citizen and will not be allowed to hold a job in India but she has never lifted her finger for helping the real victims of society, women in particular, both in india and bangladesh. She can go anywhere for all i care but I certainly on't want her in my backyard, living off me and then painting me black. thanks for visiting my blog page & ur comments.

I am perhaps the only one who will bluntly say this to you without any qualms or any skirting of the real problem." Agreed, LL. Will reflect on this and do my best to improve. I say 'try' because I'm a one-track-minded person in some ways, and currently, global warming is what I'm focussed on, even in my real life. I'm not keen on unfocussing because a lot of progress is being made in my real life. No, I don't mean I'm on my way to solving the WORLD PROBLEM of inaction on the issue. but I am on my way to solving the problem of MY OWN INDIFFERENCE & INACTION on this issue. In the process, my advocasy is also helping some other serious people -- a professor of climatology, a young entrepreneur and some people at my chamber of commerce -- overcome their indifference. To me this means a lot. LL, you said: “You seem to have lost your sense of humour and your sunny personality with this thing.. and anything done in excess is harmful.

They are and are very stark realities! Let each one of us do what ever we can. at least,i do. I live close to a blind school and as and when i get some time i take my daughters and JJ to the school and we play with them or spend some time with them.

That aside,still... is a billion strong nation so weak that it can not protect a 'woman'! tell me if u can spend some millions of RS (Tax payers) on an Italian Mafioso (Sonia) or on a scourge called GOWADA or a downright cheat Laloo... what makes you hesitate to protect her? and that too when doing so loose nothing but some Muslim votes! :) Regards, anil.

So do we not care to be careful how the world look at us! I say,leave it,give a damn to the world... but, can i look in to my eyes - when i face the mirror in morning as i shave- and answer self... for me at least answering self is more important... I will be ashamed if I turn her away. I still do not know what your opposition is for granting her the 'refuge'! Really!

So that is what bothers you! Come on...! As for why should we give her a 'refuge' ? My answer is simply because if we turn her away than what face do we have to claim self as a democracy and a secular nation?!Already we are facing 'humiliation' in the eyes of world -thanks,but no thanks - on nuclear OR NO-CLEAR deal! Come on!The might of state is and should be stronger than some whims and fancy of a group. Well as far as i know Taslima,wants to stay in WB as she find it closer to her. Having said this,I reaffirm, personally i have no love lost for her...all I want and wish for is that,the writ of law should run. If It is Taslima today,who guarantees it will not be ME tomorrow!? After all I too have been against this Gang Of thugs who are ruling us! Fighting for Taslima,has a vested interest for me as well.I am fighting for my own freedom too.

THANK YOU! Glad you see it that way. I am actually hoping you will elaborate on these unpopular but crucial ideas in your blog. I have been saying this a lot in all sorts of inconvenient place, like at the chamber of commerce where I am a member. The president of my chamber, and the chairman of my Global Warming committee give me strange looks nowadays; they agree, but add that as a chamber of commerce, they cannot endorse my views.
