26/11 mastermind pleads guilty, escapes death

WASHINGTON: Pakistani-American terrorist David Headley aka Daood Gilani has avoided extradition to India and a possible death sentence in the Mumbai terror case, but New Delhi can access him in the United States under a plea bargain he has reached with US federal authorities.

Shacked and wearing an orange prison jump suit, Headley, 49, pled guilty on Thursday to 12-count indictment in a Chicago court. But a plea deal reached with federal authorities states that Headley "must... when directed by the United States Attorney's Office ...fully and truthfully testify in any foreign judicial proceedings held in the United States by way of deposition, video-conferencing or letters rogatory."

Speaking to reporters, Ravi, a former NSG commando who had directed two films featuring Mohanlal, said that he is just trying to imagine how the two greats would come in one single frame. "It is great feeling when I think of that," he said.

Amitabh will be seen as the father of a passenger on the ill-fated plane that has been hijacked and Mohanlal will play a commando.

And the exodus from Australia begins

NEW DELHI: Australian authorities have been promising action to curb the continuing attacks on international students and communities. But Indian students aren't waiting. Several are packing their bags and heading home for good. That's despite incurring a loss ranging from Rs 12-20 lakh per student.

"There are no statistics available. But several Indian students are either leaving or have left and are not coming back. The primary reasons are lack of safe living conditions and absence of job security," says Gautam Gupta, secretary, Federation of Indian Students of Australia (FISA). Over 150,000 Indian students are studying in Australia today.

Happy Republic Day.....

Happy Republic Day.....

I guess the celebrations of hoisting the national flag, followed by military parade starting from Raisina Hill in New Delhi and ends at Red Fort...would have already started...

Let me also quote Mahatma Gandhi:
“The Roots of Violence:
wealth without work;
pleasure without conscience,
knowledge without character;
Commerce without morality;
Science without humanity,
Worship without sacrifice;
Politics without principles;”

“The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problems.”
