Bordering on the surreal.

From the warfront: Buffet from the enemy, brilliant pyrotechnics and the silent saviours, the half-baked war had it all..
By V.K. Shashikumar


It's a crazy f****** war!" That line, an army officer's favourite refrain, is etched in our memory. Had our car tumbled into the Indus we would have been the first journalists to report the war from the other side of the LoC! The white waters of the raging river have apparently washed away Jongas and jeeps across the border. Everything about the war was surreal..........

As the bravehearts, shivering and starving at 16,000 feet, prepared for the final charge, fear which had stalked them, anxieties and memories that dogged them would vanish. They would no longer be human or humane. The Nagas, who had a penchant for slicing the enemy to scoop out his heart, were straining at the leash. So were the Sikhs and Grenadiers and the other units. Once the war cry was sounded the sole objective was to "get the enemy before he gets you"...........

Speaking of beauty...

..She is very proud of the achievements of Indians in England. "I feel India is now part of the landscape in Britain. It's as though we want to make a difference and I think we are managing to do that." As a second generation-er, she says, she has the best of both worlds. She has strong affections for India. "I love going back. It is special to me.".......

Anchors do have a personal following and a lot of people out there like the English accent. I think that explains why some of the American viewers reacted when they nearly lost the show. I'm not personally looking to be recognised, I just do my job. Everyone is integral to the show's success. People in America actually videotape the broadcast if they are out. How many people in England tape the news? It's a remarkable tribute to the programme."..
