Things fall apart
Karnataka Chief Minister J.H. Patel's announcement on Thursday that the JD would join the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance could well be the last nail in the coffin of a party that once ruled the country.
From the battle zone
It was wonderful to see Barkha Datt reporting from Kargil for Star TV. Guns boomed, rockets darted past her with earsplitting screams and she almost jumped out of her skin as some lethal missile missed her by inches and exploded with a deafening noise somewhere behind her.
Fire on the hills
Trouble is brewing in another mountain paradise -- Manali. Authorities caution that the recent anti-Tibetan riots, disturbingly led by a mob of local students from the Government Senior Secondary school, could be just the beginning.
