Ugly scenes were witnessed in the Rajasthan Assembly today when an opposition BJP MLA hurled a sandal towards Congress members and a ruling party lawmaker retaliated by brandishing his shoe following a heated exchange between two legislators. The sandal, however, did not hit anyone.

The newspapers tell us there’s a controversy brewing. No, it doesn’t involve a gent who’s playing fast and loose with his health on national television, or his acolytes who’ve got their clipped hair and accents mixed up. This is an uncivil society fight between a Delhi designer, and a Mumbai one who has allegedly copied the former’s trademark style of draping sarees over jeans at fashion shows. The Delhi girl says the style is all hers and she has “used it and made saris contemporary. So how can anyone else do the same thing and claim this as an original piece of work? It’s wrong.”

Er, Delhi designer, I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but how is wearing a Saree over jeans stylish or contemporary (I presume you mean in a desirable way)? Some girls I went to school and college with, used to wear sarees over churidars or jeans for school functions, but that’s because they either didn’t have petticoats, or the confidence in their staying up for the duration of the event. I don’t think the girls saw the fusion as fashionable; just convenient.

Personally, I don’t see it as worthy of anyone’s style.

Anti Corruption Movement: Don't push Lokpal 'too hard': Freedom fighters tell Hazare!

With the Anna Hazare-led civil society toughening its stand on the Lokpal Bill, a group of freedom fighters have said they will write to the Gandhian leader asking him not to 'push too hard' on the bill by threatening to go on another fast for enacting the legislation.

They also view 'businessman' Ramdev's self-coined 'Satyagraha' to bring back black money stashed abroad as an 'absurd' episode similar to a 'Bollywood movie' in which he wanted to create a show and not agitate against corruption.

The freedom fighters were among the first to sit on a hunger strike at Jantar Mantar demanding setting up of a strong Lokpal before the now-famous fast-unto-death protest by Hazare in April.

01)  I, 100%. concur with our Freedom Fighters' view on this.

02)  I've been contending, right from day one, that after having waited for over 40 years, we can as well wait for some more months, rather than rushing the half-baked and incomprehensive Lokpal bill in the coming monsoon session of Parliament.

03)  In fact, that is the strategy of the UPA managers to hurry it as if there is no Tomorrow and get away with the exemptions of high constitutional offices under the purview of it.

04)  Anna should stop listening the inflammatory voice of Arvind Kejriwal, though he too is committed but a bit hot-blooded for cool strategies.

05)  I, personally, believe that most opposition parties to UPA coalition too are against the very idea of an "Empowered Lokpal" and they will find ways and means to scuttle it in the Parliament.

06)  Without wider consultations and consensus no bill of this stature can be passed through the Parliament.

07)  Ofcourse, there will be smear-campaigns, mud-singings & agent provocateurs, but we have too move on without getting provoked or we we have served their purpose!
