I recently watched the final half of the final part of the Harry Potter saga where the protagonists keep hunting for horcruxes of Vlodemort. I guess if we were to hunt for horcruxes of our nation, we will have to start scouring shit! If it sounds far-fetched, please remember, Ganga, Yamuna et al are supposed to be mother(s) to this land and now their very souls are choking with shit.umashankarhttp://uspandey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579671752707276248.post-77732948283986679812011-07-17T12:50:32.228-07:002011-07-17T12:50:32.228-07:00Hi Alka,

They have their political inclinations and so they edit of parts which they dont like.<br />2. They only print 100 words letters to the editors and anything more than 100 words is an article which goes to their dustbins.Only their own writers or people known to them can get thoughts inked.<br />3.This blog provides me the freedom to air my thoughts and I am happy with readers like yourself.
