Newton’s Third Law…
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Lokpal’s First Law…
Every Civil Society action has an equal and opposite Uncivil Government action.

If anything, Anna Hazare and Manmohan Singh must have become good penfriends by now.

What’s On? (August second half schedule)
AnnaTV, TVAnna, Anna Today, Anna Now, The Times of Anna, The Anna Times, The Anna Express, Anna News, Deccan Anna, The Anna, Live Anna…

Old saying…
There’s many a slip between the cup and the lip.
New saying…
There’s many a slip between the Lokpal Bill and Act.

Report card….
Quarter-finals: Lost, promoted on a technicality.
Semi-finals: Just won.
Finals: State of the Final Lokpal draft, result expected in 2012.
Now if India by any chance manages to win the finals, then that’s just a small first step in the battle against corruption…

The misunderstood media moghul…

Murdoch: Mobilize all the hacks!
What really happened: All the mobiles were hacked!

Murdoch: I’ve been attacked so much that the news of the world should be shut down for me.
What really happened: The News of the World shut down.

Murdoch: This is the most humiliating day of my life!
What was really reported: This is the most humbling day of my life.
