IT seems Indians and Pakistanis won't stop fighting even if they meet in the hell. Even modern education, ultra-modern life style and an atmosphere totally different from the propaganda war of the sub-continent, can't stop the deep-seated hatred existing between the two countries and their people.

This is evident from the fact that Pakistani-Americans worked overtime "from morning till midnight" to make sure Bobby Jindal's defeat in the poll for Louisiana governorship.

The head of the Pakistani American Congress, Ashraf Abbasi, said his members would unite to prevent a Jindal win and endorse Blanco (who won the contest). The group had also raised $ 50, 000 for her campaign.

Why not? Once an enemy always an enemy.

Indian thieves succeeded where Indian laws and customs officials failed for a long time. The Indian authority has failed miserably in stopping the flooding of illegal Chinese electronics goods and other items in the Indian market.

But the thieves have stopped the Chinese invasion of India's market for some time in their special style. For the second year in a row, they were active in the Chinese stalls at the Pragati Maidan trade fair. A group of five thieves stole a laptop, three bags, two mobile phones and $2, 000 from four Chinese stalls. This left a number of angry participants promising never to strut their stuff in Delhi. It was overheard in the trade fair that "our thieves are better than the cops".

ELECTIONS at the end of a year perhaps a rare combination but certainly good for the voters as they are getting some new year calendars, diaries, pens etc. as gifts from the prospective candidates along with high-dose promises.

THE myth surrounded by the Indian women being the most devoted in the world who consider their husbands as the Gods of the present and the future birth may not last long.

Half of Indian women say they are more comfortable with their sexuality than five years ago, while nearly one in five say a wife should be allowed to have a relationship with another man if her marriage is bad, a survey said.

The survey by the weekly magazine Outlook also found that exactly half-thought a woman could demand that her partner satisfy her sexual fantasies.

THE Bihar Government's move to woo the Muslim voters was thwarted very cleverly by the sensible Muslim community who denied to accept the salary advance offer by the state government. The reason: Hindus and other community members are being deprived of it.

The employees said they would not accept the November salary before Id unless the entire staff had this privilege. They said they could not accept such a discriminatory offer during Id when Muslims were not denied a salary advance on religious grounds before Diwali and Chhath.

Politicians of this country always try hard to exploit the religious and other sensitive issues to their advantage no matter what may be its repercussions on the unity, harmony and understanding among different communities. But three cheers for those who understand the hidden agenda behind every move and give a befitting reply. Sabaas Bihar Musilms.

THE anti-India feeling among the people of Pakistan can make it to history book as a classic example for generations to come.

The idea of roping in Pakistani cricketer Wasim Akram as Indian bowling coach not merely stirred the Pakistani public but it also saw filing of a petition in a Lahore court that Akram must be stopped from taking up the India job.

"India is our enemy. Akram should not be allowed to join the enemy for money. It is tantamount to a retired army official training the Indian army," the petitioner, not connected to the PCB, argued. He also described Akram as "a nuclear weapon", which should not be fallen in the enemy hand. This also indicates how seriously cricket is taken in Pakistan and an Indo-Pak match is no less than a full-fledged war.

POLITICAL parties and leaders have shown professionalism in resting the responsibility of their election campaigning on the shoulders of Public Relations (PR) agencies. Some agencies have also specialised on different parties!

It's heartening to know that our politicians are adapting professionalism and up-to-date methods but what is not is that the approach is not extended to their work for which they are being elected.

LEGENDARY Tennis player of Russia Boris Becker may have to face the ire of women activists by his comment, in his autobiography Stay A Moment Longer. He says he doesn't think "men are made for monogamy".

Becker may open a pandora's box on the rights of women, gender-bias and the true perception of man (specially the rich and famous) about women.
