Glad to know that "Amma" Jayalalitha is so "god-fearing"! Maybe she has to donate all that food to earn enough "puNya" to wash off all her sins.

We won't trade one Gandhi for one hundred Churchills.

Churchill, with due cognizance of his corpulence, perfect diction, very many quotable quotes, ill-placed supreme disdain for the subjects of a fading empire, sneer perfectly etched on his bull-dog face, flair for ill humor, a faked ebullience with underlying depression (not his fault), miss-reading of the Indian achievements and potential, is a likable bloke. His generously protuberant mid girth with inversely proportional head was imposing - like that of a Tanjore doll - by a combination of rising vapors, convoluted entrails, bilious temper, spleenish petulance, and shakespearian eloquence, but was no match to the spiritual simplicity of the half-naked fakir, Gandhi, whose spirit will outlive Churchill's mundane fame. Churchill's intellect is supremely earth-bound, while Gandhi's spirit is transcending. We won't trade one Gandhi for one hundred Churchills.

By Our Staff Reporter

COIMBATORE, MARCH 26. India is hopeful of launching its third geo-synchronous satellite launch vehicle (GSLV) with an indigenous cryogenic engine as the Indian Space Research Organisation was working on it, the former Principal Scientific Advisor to the Prime Minister, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, said here today.
Quoting Tamil saint-poet Tiruvalluvar, he said "A small aim is a crime'' and that the youth should strive for a vision for the nation's development.
