Communist ideology
Do communists have any ideology?
They welcome Chinese company to build ports in Cochin, but oppose privatization when others do. They oppose BJP as communal forces, but align with PDF (Maudhani) .
It is in the best interests of the nation that CPI & CPI-M loses power in Bengal and KErala and they are routed out of India.

Covering the Wound?
Hey, something I noticed in all our Hyderabadi guys... they are so much loyal to the CM and everyone want to cover up the blasts. Resilience is occurrence of rebounding or springing back, but the Hyderabadi resilience is of different variety - tolerance. These guys are tolerating anything, they want to show a brave face, though each guy I spoke had a strict instruction from their parents or spouse not to venture out.
Come on guys, we need to voice our concerns. We need to make the politicians feel that they cannot make hollow promises - just think the way Mr YSR said about the Pak and Bangladeshi terrorists who have used B-52 bombers to hit our city:)

Pakistan tests new air-launched missile
Pakistan successfully tested a new air-launched cruise missile with stealth design on Saturday, the military said in a statement.
The missile, named Hatf-8 (Ra'ad), has a range of 350 kilometres (220 miles) and can carry all types of warheads, the military said.
“The missile has a low detection probability due to stealth design and materials,” it said.
The military said the missile would give its aircraft “a strategic stand-off capability on land and at sea”.
The test came a month after Pakistan tested the nuclear-capable Babur Hatf VII cruise missile, which has a range of 700 kilometres (435 miles). The Babur was first tested in 2005.
President Pervaiz Musharraf and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz congratulated the scientists and engineers involved in the development of the new missile.
“Pakistan's defence will continue to be strengthened as an imperative of national security,” the military quoted the two leaders as saying.

HYDERABAD: Hours after the twin blasts this evening, the city police recovered a live bomb from Dilsukhnagar area and defused it in time, averting another tragedy.
The bomb was planted underneath a foot-over-bridge with a timer set for 9.30 pm, police sources said.
The near-simultaneous blasts at Lumbini park and Gokul chat bhandar were triggered by cell-phone timers, city police commissioner Balwinder Singh told reporters.
So far, 11 bodies have been identified and five of them are women. One of the deceased was a house surgeon of Osmania medical college who hailed from Prakasam district.
Meanwhile, TDP president and former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu alleged the incidents were a result of intelligence failure. BJP leaders M Venkaiah Naidu and B Dattatreya strongly condemned the incident and said it was time for the governments to act tough against foreign terrorist groups.
They accused the Congress government of adopting a soft approach towards terror groups which have been targeting the city.
State secretary of CPI (M) B V Raghavulu said the blasts appeared to be a pre-planned terror attack.
Hyderabad under Central Forces control
Sad that the police and the IB are not in sync. AP Police is already overburdened by the Anti-Naxal operations and it is for the Government to review its efficiency in safeguarding cities. One should remind Mr L.K.Advani's plan of making all State Capital under Central Forces control.
