KA election: BJP single largest party

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

223/224 declared and the scores are:

BJP:110
Cong:69
JDS: 36

source: NDTV

I have been watching the show on TV since morning. The numbers keep slightly changing though. But the story is over. BJP leads way ahead of Congress.

Both CCN-IBN Live and NDTV does excellent coverage. The CNN-IBN team appears more exicited with Rajdeep and team rapidly speaking while Pranoy Roy keeps cool at the NTDV camp.

For Editor RTPA, the Bachelor.

[ From one Editor to the other, I thought I’ll just share this with you all because you’re all a part of this grand misual.com community. Little known facts about our loving RTPA 20 years ago, revealed before he takes that big walk down the aisle… ]

Funny how it seems just like yesterday, when you and I were running around in dirty shorts and scruffy hair, playing cricket with rubber balls in the large barren hostel playground. That was way back in 1989, yet it feels only like yesterday.

St.Thomas School, Khidderpore. Back when Kolkata was still Calcutta, when 1 rupee could buy 12 puchhkas, when GnR and Mr. BIG were the only two bands that mattered, when we all had a crush on VJ Nonie, when we had to depend on the unstable Vayudoot at Tuirial airport to go to Calcutta, or rush immediately to Silchar airport by road if a flight was cancelled.

Mizo community on Bangalore Times

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

Bangalore Times (TOI’s supplementary) has a story on Bangalore Mizo Community. The article quotes Pu PC Laduhawma (BMA) and Madawnga (BMA Secretary) on the Mizo Church and community activities such as Vangpui Kut.

So turn to Page 9 and look for “A little corner of Mizoram”. It has the tagline “Mizos feel at home in Bangalore thanks to a Mizo community in the heart of the city” set on top of Wesley Church picture.

To read it online, go

Just click on the article for a more readable text. I hope this would at the least create an awareness among TOI readers that there exists a state called Mizoram.
